From Ternana to Perugia, Cagliari challenge Umbria with the aim of achieving a victory which, classification in hand, would seal the playoffs. But Ranieri knows it won't be easy. «We will find a team in good shape, led by a coach I respect a lot. There will be a fight. I saw the match against Spal, they deserved to win. We'll find a nice environment and we'll have to be ready because they're waiting for us to kill ourselves. And, as they say, forewarned is forearmed."
And for such a complicated match, the good news comes from the field: «Mancosu and Pavoletti, after the differentiation of the last few days, trained with us today. They are recovered. Not Falco who still feels pain in his knee».
On training, as always Ranieri takes all the time possible: «I tried Deiola a few times behind when the central players were missing. From the beginning? I have to think about it between today and tomorrow. And to replace Dossena I have no problem choosing one between Altare and Goldaniga, who have always done well when they have played».
Finally, a thought for the fans: «I thank them, there was no strike for the first few minutes, they have always been close to us even when we were losing our bearings. We need our fans."
