Cagliari tries to stop the three-match negative streak. But tomorrow at the Unipol Domus a Milan arrives boosted by the victory in Spain against Real Madrid: the most difficult match in the most delicate moment. “Milan – said Davide Nicola in the press conference the day before – are still in a position in the standings that does not reflect their values. In Madrid they played an excellent match from all points of view. We are not Real Madrid, we are not play at the Bernabeu: we play at home knowing that we will meet a great team. But if we maintain humility, the conviction to carry on our game and try to limit their players and their game with great attention, we could be competitive we’ve done in recent days: we’ve tried to analyze their strengths in order to develop ours, so let’s see how it goes.”
Room for improvement: “We still have to acquire the ability to switch from one outfit to another quickly without taking too much time – continued the Cagliari coach – we have a precise identity, a way of being on the pitch that varies depending on the opponents of the world. Now that we have this identity, in my opinion, the second objective begins, which is to improve all the automatic mechanisms, do things with more quality and speed, be able to understand the timing of the game, when to slow down, when to accelerate.”
Three defeats in a row. “A team that fights for our goal will, on average, lose a few games a year.
We must always maintain the ambition to go to any field, against any opponent with the mentality of scoring points and playing our game. I believe we are proving this. For us, salvation is a Champions League, so we must do everything according to this.”
