"It's always exciting , I hope every match can bring me this kind of joy. Making my Serie A debut is something new, special. And I admit, I've had some great emotions these past few days." Fabio Pisacane can't wait for the season to begin, even though the transfer market has shuffled the cards at the most crucial moment.
"Piccoli's departure is not a pleasant surprise," the Cagliari coach clarified bluntly in the press conference at the "Crai Sport Center" in Assemini ahead of tomorrow's match against Fiorentina. "He was an important player for us. I knew from the start that there was a possibility of losing him, but I hoped to keep him . Unfortunately," he was keen to point out, "these are the dynamics of the transfer market. This is also why I asked the club for three players with the same characteristics and number, and the club is moving in this direction ." There's no point in worrying: "Right now, I'm just thinking about coaching and finding different solutions, instilling confidence in my players. We have a difficult match, and the Cagliari shirt comes first."
A tricky match for the Rossoblu, indeed, against a Fiorentina team on fire after a 3-0 win in the Conference League. "We've studied them carefully; they're a fierce transition team. We must therefore be very good at not giving their attackers any space," Pisacane emphasized at the end of the press conference, offering a hint at the system Cagliari might adopt tomorrow night: "Playing with four at the back is an option. To try to play together and cover the pitch well. And to be carried along by our fans."
