From Udinese to Bologna, a lot changes, perhaps everything changes, first of all the stadium, but above all the type of opponent. «We find a strong and quality team», Davide Nicola immediately puts his hands forward in the press conference that precedes tomorrow's match at Unipol Domus against the Emilians . «They are coming off an extraordinary championship, they are playing in the Champions League for a reason. They have changed leadership, but they have consolidated the old ideas with the new ones. Physically they are different compared to Udinese, they are faster, they progress vertically and they are suffocating in the pressure», the Cagliari coach is keen to point out, who dictates the line to his team from the belly of the “Crai Sport Center” in Assemini: «We have to play with limited playing time. We have to be able to understand when it is time for short or long construction. But, above all, we have to play in a lively and brazen way» .
The lineup also changes, inevitably, with three games in ten days. "I'm still waiting for tomorrow's training to make decisions, which cannot ignore, however, how certain players have recovered." Nicola returns to Makoumbou's expulsion in Udine and points out : "Mistakes are physiological if they happen sporadically. The problem would arise if they always happened, but fortunately that's not our case. So the mistake is analyzed without redundancy."
Finally, the rossoblù coach wanted to send a message of support to the victims of the flood that hit the Island in recent days : «We are all following the events with great apprehension. I am not an expert on the subject, but I see that these events are repeating themselves with more frequency and more violence. We show our closeness to all these people from the heart.
