Satisfied with the impact Shomurodov had. «He has yet to find an ideal condition», the premise, «but he is settling in very well. I liked him against Como, he had two interesting chances». However, an attacker is still missing. «An attacker and two other expert defenders», Claudio Ranieri pointed out from his training camp in Val d'Aosta, where Cagliari will remain until tomorrow.
No longer just one defender, therefore, but two. «I have some fantastic and good guys behind me, but they're young, they've played only a few games in Serie A. In times of difficulty, when maybe we'll concede even four goals, will they be able to stay calm? Houses are always built from the ground up. For this, I need two more experienced defenders." And a striker, in fact. «With characteristics», the rossoblù coach is keen to point out, «that go well with the other strikers we already have. It's not an easy market, you work in the shadows». To get the most out of a highly anticipated season.
«Cagliari is everything to me and returning to Serie A with Cagliari is an immense satisfaction and a great pride. I am happy to have brought back enthusiasm among the people and to have seen many kids grow up. But a championship as exciting as it is difficult awaits us and I say to the fans: keep blowing after us ».
