The words of Jakub Jankto

Jakub Jankto spoke to the microphones of Cagliari’s official channels, “The first sensations are really good, I found a wonderful group. I know the staff from the Sampdoria days, we work really hard, even in this heat. It’s 40-42 degrees and we do double workouts, which serve to find the rhythm we are used to.”

“For me, especially after what I did in February, these have not been great weeks for me. I’m getting better slowly, these first few days here I got on really well with Ranieri and the staff, who I know really well since I had two very positive seasons there. I want to find myself and help Cagliari above all. We have to fight for our fans, I remember that it is tough to play here, the stadium is really difficult, the stands are attached to the field and the fans push the team. I can’t wait to start.”

“My advantage is that I don’t play only in one position,” he added, “I can be an outside player in a 4-4-2, a midfielder in a 4-3-1-2 or, during the game, maybe when you are in 10, I can be an outside left back in a 5-man midfield. There are two or three roles where I can play, that’s something I can give to the team. Then I have a good cross, I shoot often, I want to attack the goal, I always get to the second post. I want to find goals and assists to help the team.”

Closing remark on the league: “I know the A perfectly, I am also more experienced than 5-6 years ago. I found players like Lapadula, Pavoletti, who know really well how to play in A, how to deal with difficult matches, how to handle the ball. I think we can make a really good championship, but we have to stay on the piece and work every day to the maximum. I want to thank all the fans who have me at the airport, I want to thank everyone who has written and supported me. I’m a guy who stays at home a lot, I don’t go to the beach frequently, I’m too white (laughs, ed). I had only been to Cagliari once, I’m here mostly to play soccer and save the team. Those are my goals.”
