Davide Nicola is satisfied with what he saw tonight in Cagliari-Roma, the championship debut at the Domus. «Today I liked the team : they tried to play trying to do what we try, without losing the spirit of helping each other against a great opponent», his analysis on the 0-0 of the first day. « I am very happy, because we never gave up believing that we could score while all helping each other out of possession . We had to be very good at interpreting different distances of the field, because a team like Roma could hurt you».
The group. Nicola is focusing a lot on the cohesion of the team, while at the same time trying to include his ideas (which some players, like Marin who he already had at Empoli, are immediately putting into practice). «To achieve our goal, first of all we have to find an identity. There is a historic group here, for a coach it is important to have certain players with a great sense of belonging to the club: you see it and perceive it from how they talk and how they train. I was amazed by the attitude and the desire to experiment with certain ideas ». Transfer market, a topic he has never particularly dwelt on until now: «It's not that I don't want to answer, but also out of respect for those in this group I don't want to put it in these terms. The coach must understand if there is the possibility of further improving a group that already has quality. Let's see if someone arrives to give us an extra hand ».
