Heads up at the Olimpico. "We're going to play an important match in a very motivating setting against a team of absolute quality. We know that we'll have to play a great match both technically and emotionally. And we're ready to do it." Davide Nicola launches the challenge to Lazio from the press room of the "Crai Sport Center" in Assemini, where Cagliari has just finished its final training session . "We have to try to be very careful in defending and limit them as much as possible, at the same time we should try to play our game, as we've always done so far, after all. We'll have to be good, in short, at finding the right balance between the two phases."

Six days of work give us a break after the tour de force. "They allowed us to take care of the details even more. Even though I," admits the rossoblù coach, "like playing every three days because you are always committed to the final objective , that is, the challenge."

Nicola asks for more attention and determination from his players, not only in front of goal. " In general, we need to capitalize on the opportunities we create more . But this applies to all teams, not just us." And again: "When we recover the ball, we need to be frenetic. Sometimes we put ourselves in difficulty." Nicola is keen to point out: "The championship is already outlined, there are nine teams that will have to fight for survival."
