The rossoblù stock market is up and down after Cagliari-Lecce.

Who goes up

Daniel Maldini

It's a three-point goal, and it weighs like a millstone, especially considering it was a direct clash. He also came close to doubling the lead, putting Mendy in a position to do the same, and hitting the post with a free kick of his own. But what was most impressive, on Monday at the Domus against Lecce, was the intensity with which he made an impact, from the start until his substitution. He put his (crystal-clear) talent at the service of the team, supporting them, guiding them, and not shying away from the dirty work. Thus, he stole the show and the match. Thus, he stole Cagliari.

Who's coming down?

Alieu Fadera

A vague and self-serving player. While he had an explosive yet decisive impact against Inter, thus changing the momentum of the match, this time his appearance off the bench wasn't as effective. He was caught up in his own ego, at times risking creating a void behind him when Lecce recovered and quickly counterattacked. His qualities—both technical and athletic—are beyond question. He has the pace and lungs to break through the opposition in any situation, but he still needs to fully integrate into the collective mechanisms, especially the defensive ones.
