(ANSA) – CAGLIARI, APRIL 23 – Cagliari in Genoa to try to become unattainable in the race to save. Six points away from Genoa: now the goal is to reach nine. Mazzarri did not say it – in mourning for the death of his mother Edda did not participate in the traditional press conference on the eve – but his deputy Claudio Bellucci.

“We have to be good at playing a careful game because they – he stressed – are very skilled in the restarts. But without being afraid: we go there to play a great game, to win and to increase the gap with Genoa”.

At his side Joao Pedro, the captain. “There was no need to load the teammates, they are already loaded by themselves – the captain clarified – With the right mind: we just have to rest well because a busy and fun day awaits us”. In the head-to-head clashes this year, however, Cagliari often went into crisis. For example in La Spezia. “During the season we lost points in races like this in the first round and then in La Spezia – explained Bellucci – we are aware of this and for this reason the experience will have to help us to face this match. In general the team is doing well, there is the right mentality and the victory against Sassuolo gave us great confidence “.

Okay Joao Pedro. “Personally – continued the captain – I can’t wait to go on the pitch, so it will have to be for all of us. The match not to be repeated will be that of La Spezia, a match similar to this one in terms of importance for our journey. On that occasion the spirit was not right: this time it will have to be another story because it is really an opportunity where we can perhaps decisively determine our destiny. “In the meantime, reinforcements arrive from the infirmary: Goldaniga, Strootman, Nandez and Obert tried to train with the group. And the call-up is played: if it is not for Genoa, at least for Verona. Mazzarri, however, will have to do without the suspended Lovato: Ceppitelli is favored over Walukiewicz for the central position. We still have some doubts about Joao Pedro’s partner: Keita (on pole) and Pavoletti play. (HANDLE).
