«For me Cagliari is an important choice. I hope to stay here for many years and do well enough to return to the national team. Well, this is my dream."
First conference in the rossoblù in the Unipol Domus press room for striker Andrea Petagna, who immediately puts his cards on the table.
«I arrive in an important, historic company, which among other things represents an entire region. For me this is an honor. I found a good group and a legend as a coach. Ranieri's call", admits the 28-year-old striker from Trieste, "was decisive for my arrival here".
Features? «I undoubtedly like playing with two strikers and I adapt to my partner, whether he is a more physical or quicker attacker. And here, between Pavoletti, Lapadula and Luvumbo, there are great attackers. Perhaps my best characteristic is playing with my back to goal. And I would like to score a few more goals."
The Bologna injury? «Fortunately it wasn't an injury and we worked well to be available on Sunday against Udinese. Then the coach will make the decisive assessments."
