«Perhaps our worst match, we didn't play as we know how». Claudio Ranieri is very saddened after Fiorentina-Cagliari 3-0, the third defeat in the space of eight days for the rossoblù (still last in the standings, without victories at the end of the seventh day).
«Evidently the first goal after two minutes was a blow, after twenty minutes we were losing 2-0 against a team that knows how to keep the ball. We tried to do our best but we are not happy, we have to work", his immediate comment. The coach, however, is not overwhelmed by the negative ranking and knows how to get his team back on their feet, starting from Sunday at the Domus with Roma: «I have the idea, now we will try to develop it as best we can in training and do well in the next game. We don't give up: we played good races and we lost, today it wasn't us and it's right that he lost. In these moments the less we talk the better: I know only one recipe which is work, what we are doing is not enough."
The singles
It was only partially surprising that Luvumbo, Cagliari's only player to score in this championship, had zero minutes this evening. Already announced as tired on Saturday, he was however unable to take the field: «He's not very well, otherwise I would have let him play», explains Ranieri. «This morning, when we did the finishing, he told me that he felt pain while running. I couldn't risk it, otherwise I might have lost it for a month. Let's see for the next one." Where could Scuffet make his debut, after Radunovic's new mistake: «Evidently he's not calm, we need to see a little. I'll talk to the boy and then we'll decide." Among the few happy notes is the entry of the youngsters Oristanio and Prati: «It's a message, evidently the younger ones don't feel the weight of the rankings and are thinking about playing and doing well. I will keep this in mind."
