An imposing physique, almost 2 meters tall, a smile always lit, but also a great desire. Yerry Mina ("it's called Ierri", he specifies) smiles, "because it's important to always do it, it's one of my characteristics. But I want to bring my experience and desire to always fight to this wonderful group. Because it's important to give everything, even when you don't win."

Music to the ears of Claudio Ranieri, who is already preparing him a starter's shirt (number 26) for the match against Lukaku's Roma. Which Mina does not fear: «They are the ones who have to worry about us, not us about them. It's a great team, but we'll go there with a lot of desire."

The same one that the Colombian has, after the difficult six months in Florence: «It was the right time to come to this wonderful city, I will give everything for Cagliari. There is a coach with great experience, everyone speaks well of him. I feel good and I'm happy."

Maybe even scoring a few goals: «But first I have to defend. If the opportunity arises, I will also try to score some goals."
