Torino held back, Cagliari can rejoice

Turin-Cagliari 0-0

A two-way draw between Torino and Cagliari. At the Stadio Olimpico-Grande Torino in the first Monday postponement of Serie A, the hosts tried, especially in the first half, but ran into the wall erected by Ranieri’s team, which was also capable of making itself dangerous.

Satisfied precisely the guests’ coach: “I have good guys, they want to establish themselves. We have a good mixture. We played with personality, we had to be more stinging but the heat, for us as for them, was the main thing. I was sweating standing still, let alone the boys.”

“The three-man defense? I have players who can allow me to change the system of play during games. We opted to stay that way by staying compact. The forwards sacrificed and I thank them because they did what we tried during the week. We tried not to let the three defenders play freely and we did not want the ball to come clean in the last thirty meters where they are dangerous.”
