"The time has come to prove our worth, on and off the pitch. It's an important opportunity for us and we deserve it." Focused on the objective, Davide Nicola shows his teeth to Venezia and never misses an opportunity to highlight the work done by his players during the championship. Salvation is an obsession and Cagliari can finally mathematically secure it tomorrow evening at the Unipol Domus against the Lagunari coached by the former rossoblù Di Francesco.
"We don't think about anything else, but we haven't thought about anything else for eleven months," the Piedmontese coach is keen to point out in the traditional pre-match press conference at the "Crai Sport Center" in Assemini, where he once again calls the team to a meeting: "We are aware that we can achieve what interests us, what we have worked hard for."
Nicola is a raging river. "We have never given up and we certainly don't intend to do so now," he insists. "I told the boys: these moments are exhilarating and help you grow because they bring you closer to the goal. You have to have the mental strength and clarity to manage them. Just as we will have to be good at understanding and controlling the different moments of the game."
Both Mina and Luperto have recovered, as well as Coman . «Whoever is there will be there both physically and mentally», assures the Cagliari coach who prefers not to go into specifics about Venezia and its path: «I only think about us. This is the match of Cagliari, of all Cagliari, against Venezia» .
