If he had considered the one with Inter as a test, imagine this one with Milan at San Siro. "Exams never end, especially for us. In this kind of match more than ever, the ardour and the desire to believe must be fundamental". Davide Nicola thus launches the challenge to the Devil from the press room of the Crai Sport Center in Assemini.
"We are facing a great team, full of quality and competitive players", the Cagliari coach immediately clarifies. "A team that is aiming at least to qualify for the Champions League and has won the Super Cup in line with its objectives. Always very aggressive, and verticalizes even more". In short, a perfect or almost perfect match will be needed to return to the Island with a positive result . "We will have to be able to do everything we are already doing, aware that they can hurt us in any situation. Without ever giving up on proposing our game".
Luvumbo still out, Mina in doubt. «I have to take stock with the medical staff», Nicola says . Pointing out: «If Mina is not there, there are experienced substitutes. Palomino and Wieteska are ready». Caprile will certainly be between the posts , strongly desired by the Piedmontese coach who already had him last season at Empoli. «A goalkeeper who is skilled both between the posts and with his feet in building the game. He is then inclined to attack the balls in the area», Nicola clarifies, however applauding Scuffet, who also moved to Napoli: «Simone gave everything and more, deserving such an important stage».
Prati? «I like him a lot as a player, but it becomes difficult to give the same playing time to everyone when you have five players of the same level for two shirts». The market? « Certain situations need to be evaluated, maybe who needs to play more consistently. But 95% of the group is like this and with this I will move forward ».
