"I expect a real match against an organized and well-coached opponent. We believe in the Coppa Italia; you realize where it can take you along the way. And we want to go as far as possible." Virtus Entella is Fabio Pisacane's destiny, against whom he will make his debut as Cagliari coach on Saturday evening at Unipol Domus in the first round of the Coppa Italia , and against whom he scored his first Serie B goal while wearing the Avellino jersey.
It's the first official match, the first real test, after a month of work. However, it's pointless to speculate on the progress of the work, both athletically and tactically. "These six friendlies have allowed us to pick up on many important ideas and, at the same time, work on the negatives," he stated in the press conference at the "Crai Sport Center" in Assemini. " All things considered, I hope to see a Cagliari team at 100% and trying to implement certain concepts we've been working on , especially ball circulation."
Luperto is unlikely to be available, having suffered a calf injury . "More no than yes." Gaetano? "He's recovering from meniscus surgery and has been training with the group for a week. It will be difficult to see him on the pitch." Regarding the new arrival, Esposito, the new Rossoblu coach is keen to point out: "He's a talented player with personality and, despite his young age, a wealth of experience. We're really happy he's here with us."
Someone, however, could leave between now and the end of the transfer window. " I'm not afraid of losing anyone ; ever since I started this journey, I've been aware that, faced with irresistible offers, someone might leave," Pisacane clarifies. "I hope this doesn't happen, of course. But the market is dynamic, and we have to get used to it."
