Cagliari, Ranieri: "Important not to lose". Petagna and Pavoletti out for a long time

Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri spoke to Sky after the home draw against Verona: "I feared Verona, they attack well and they stretched us. In the second half we managed to play as we wanted. Today was very difficult, when you can’t win è important not to lose".

The race for safety è very tight: "We are fine physically and mentally. We will try to get some points against Atalanta, Inter and Juve in the coming days. Scuffet è was good at keeping us up, fortunately è the 2-0 goal was annulled for offside, but then we were good".

The Rossoblu are forced to do without two important players like Pavoletti and Petagna: "They are both sick. They will have for a long time, especially Petagna who è hurt his soleus, a very sneaky muscle. I am happy with the players I have anyway, who give me confidence".
