The Cagliari coach has just finished presenting the first match of the season to the microphones. Here are his words
Claudio Ranieri’s pre-match press conference just ended. Once today’s training session was over, the coach of the Sardinians answered questions from journalists in view of Monday’s first championship match. Turin and Cagliari will compete at the “Grande Torino” stadium at 18:30. Here are some of the coach’s speeches.
Are you satisfied with the journey made since your arrival? Are you afraid that this market might not be effective?
“I am fully satisfied with the route. I get along well with the president and sporting director, we’re all working well. Two defenders and attacker will arrive. It’s a tough market. We will be able to make up for crucial shortcomings. I can’t understand why we don’t agree to finish the transfer market earlier. A new and beautiful adventure awaits us on the path we have taken, now we have to fight and roll up our sleeves, as a well-known actor said: “centimetre by centimetre”.
On the debut, a heavy test bench against Turin. What do you expect?
“I want to see how the team reacts. Torino is a team that finished tenth and has had the same coach for 3 years, the players know each other. They have perfect automatisms, they have introduced new quality guys. We go to face a team trying to enter Europe. We, on the other hand, are going to make a comparison with them, we have to play and fight. As they put us in difficulty, we will try to do it too “.
Is there any recovery? How is the situation? Obligatory choices?
“No, I don’t think the choices are forced. We know the unavailable players, but the team is still solid and strong. All are in good physical condition. Those 130 minutes against Palermo helped improve his condition.”
