Gianfranco Matteoli hopes for an immediate relaunch of Cagliari after last Friday's knockout in Modena. A guest in the studio at "Il Cagliari in Diretta" on Radiolina, a broadcast hosted by Fabiano Gaggini, Valentina Caruso and Alberto Masu , the former rossoblù midfielder hopes that Ranieri's team will return to victory immediately with Benevento: «It is clear that we cannot more wrong . I say that often the B is strange : if you hit four or five results in a row you get back in the running not only for the playoffs but for one of the first two places. Even last week someone limped, see Genoa and Reggina. I read something that Ranieri said, that he doesn't play to stay in the back lines but for the first places: I think that's the case».
On the last misstep the criticism is above all towards the referee Perenzoni for the expulsion of Rog: «A distorted match. I wouldn't even have called a foul, it was a contrast. The referees, with this speech by the Var, have lost something. Maybe not being very brilliant, playing certain matches on certain fields where on paper you are stronger in the first half hour, the opponents make you suffer. Then, when the match drops in intensity, the values come out but Cagliari hasn't been able to demonstrate them for that reason».
Valid rose
The market that has just ended has not brought the blow of the last few days to Cagliari. In any case, Matteoli's squad is top-level: «In my opinion, we lack a central defender with a great personality. When all the midfielders recover, there will be no need for others in the middle of the field. For Serie B they are good level players, some also for Serie A: if they go missing it becomes very difficult» . In rossoblù from 1990 to 1994 (he arrived a year after winning the scudetto with Inter, he left after dragging Cagliari to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and then led the youth team for a long time, with a brief stint on the bench in 2001 with Giulio Nuciari), Matteoli shared the last year of Ranieri's first experience, with his He shaped many players who ended up on the big stages.
