"We have always played against each other for salvation and now it will be nice to work together."
Leonardo Pavoletti relaunches the challenge in the name of Davide Nicola. "These days we are discussing each other, we are talking a lot and he is studying us." The past in the heart, certain emotions remain engraved in history. The Cagliari captain, however, looks ahead and is ready to bet on the new coach: «It seemed very romantic to me, especially in the idea of fighting together. It follows the trend of Claudio Ranieri."
Cagliari's pre-season could not fail to begin with the press conference of the striker from Livorno, fresh from his contract until 2026. At the age of 36, he is preparing to start his eighth season with the rossoblù shirt: «Of course, I'm no longer a twenty year old kid, but I know where I'm good and where I can still improve. Then a coach arrived who I think can bring out something I didn't even know I had."
Pavoletti is keen to point it out: «Play or not play, I love Cagliari. I will give everything to carve out my space, but my presence will be important for others regardless. As I also told the coach, I learned that when Cagliari wins, we are all happy." The goal, however, remains his obsession: «I'm training to get back to reaching double figures. I want to relive a championship as a protagonist."
