Assemini. «It is the first real difficult step for us, since it is an official match. Do or die, among other things. We have to evaluate the growth path. And I am really curious to see the reaction of my team, for the courage and the organization of the game». Cagliari coach Davide Nicola launches the challenge to Carrarese from the “Crai Sport Center” in Assemini in view of tomorrow's Coppa Italia match at Unipol Domus, starting at 9.15 pm. «Clearly it is a particular phase of the season, self-motivation and the push of the public, in addition to the importance of what is at stake, will make the difference».
It is useless to ask for indications on the formation. «Maybe there will be a moment in which I will announce it in advance, but not this time», clarifies the Piedmontese coach who for the occasion will have to do without Viola, Zortea and Mina. About the Colombian: «He is a player that we respect in particular, for his personality and for the serenity that he transmits to the group».
For Nicola it will be his debut at the Domus. "Will I be excited? I live on emotions," he is keen to point out. "And there is a lot of curiosity, above all, to see how the full stadium reverberates." What kind of match will it be? "Certainly very hard-fought. But this is true for everyone, seeing the other matches these days," he said. "Carrarese is a team built over time. It has a precise identity, it constantly attacks the depth. But we are ready for any solution and I can't wait."
