«This draw gives positive results». Claudio Ranieri takes the point and the reaction from Lecce-Cagliari: «We conceded goals and suffered from set pieces, but then we reacted and played a great match. We wanted the result, the boys worked hard and I'm satisfied. A point that comes despite many absences and other players not at their best. Tonight I needed to make some players understand where they should position themselves. But apart from the performance against Milan we did well against Empoli, fighting, and today too. The championship is tough for us and the other teams: we will have to fight and suffer until the last day. I repeat myself every time, but we are the last to arrive in Serie A and we want to stay there."
With thanks: «We represent an entire island, the fans made us feel their warmth today too and we put everything into it. Then you can't always do it well, but the performance is there."
Dry. Petagna hasn't managed to break the deadlock yet, but Ranieri liked it. «He did a dirty job, often managing to get the better of Baschirotto and Pongracic who are very physical». The one who didn't play was Pavoletti: «He was 100% ready to get a few minutes, but having drawn I kept my cards in my hand. Changing for the sake of changing is not necessary, it must be done when there is a need to do something different. When I saw Makoumbou and Oristanio who couldn't take it anymore, I replaced them." Returns are expected for Bologna: «We have players with fever who weren't available, otherwise almost all of us would have been there».
