Cagliari eliminated, controversy sparks

Cagliari eliminated, fans blurt out

Cagliari loses to Bologna and says goodbye to the Italian Cup. Adam Obert’s own goal was decisive. Sardinian fans did not take the defeat well and expressed their anger on social media: “Depressing team, no ideas, no organization, turtle speed, they don’t get a pass right. In an amateur tournament you see more play and grit, they play to defend defeat,” Giorgio’s analysis. Of the same opinion Patrizio: “Team without game, Lapadula nonexistent, like this we are going nowhere maybe it’s time to change coach and game.” “This is the photocopy of Cagliari coached by Lopez. One shot on goal every 3 games. Everyone in their own half of the field. Honestly it is a bore to watch this team play,” commented, bitterly, Michele.

Fabio Liverani commented on the match against Thiago Motta’s gang this way, “We had several very young guys playing with very few minutes in their legs at the professional level. We could have unlocked it with Barreca when he hit the crossbar, we tried and it’s sorry to go away defeated by an unfortunate own goal. The team fought and played on equal footing against a superior rival.”

“We are a good group, with different solutions: today it was right to give opportunities to those who work every day with great dedication and to rest someone who had hardly stopped since the beginning of July. It was an opportunity to see them at work. I leave Bologna with an unfortunately negative result but many more certainties from my players,” said the islanders’ coach.
