Cagliari, Claudio Ranieri warns his players

Claudio Ranieri’s statements ahead of the match with Venezia

A few days before the first leg of the first round of the Serie B playoffs, Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri wanted to send a clear message to his team ahead of the match with Venezia. “Our concentration must be turned exclusively to Venezia. We have to think about how to limit their strong points and enhance their weak ones. Only after the two matches, we can eventually turn our attention to Parma,” said the Sardinians’ coach.

Next, Claudio Ranieri spoke about his feelings ahead of these playoffs: “Apart from Bari who finished third, all the other teams have reached this goal in a comeback. We will try to do our best, because in the playoffs anything can happen. The guys have prepared as best they can and they know what they have to do. I will just try to keep them calm and prepare them to face any situation.”
