With the gathering in Asseminello the 2023-2024 season actually begins for Cagliari , that of the great return to Serie A after only one year in purgatory.
Smiles abound at the entrance to the rossoblù sports centre , in front of dozens of fans who braved the stifling heat to greet the players who are already available to the Catalano athletic trainer tonight.
The first to cross the gate is Capradossi , gradually then all the others. "Vamos", the battle cry of Nandez , one of the most charged, while captain Pavoletti blows the horn.
Just a few trips, the first few days will in fact be dedicated to medical visits and athletic tests. The actual preparation will begin on Thursday , with coach Ranieri at the helm, expected on the island between tomorrow and Wednesday, to then get into full swing in Valle D'Aosta, from 24 July to 4 August. In between, the first test with Olbia at Nespoli, on the occasion of the "Trofeo Sardegna", on Friday 21st.
There are currently 28 players called up. Excused absent Lapadula, who has to undergo an operation on the nasal septum.
