Cagliari, ds Bonato makes an admission on the market

The words of Nereo Bonato

The sporting director of Cagliari, Nereo Bonato, speaking to the microphones of Sportmediaset on the sidelines of the Italian Cup match with Carrarese, also spoke about the soccer market: "We knew that we would divide the market into two phases: the first to make available to the coach a group of players for the training camp, and then take a break to assess any further needs. Now we are in the second phase, and we will complete the staff compatible with our economic parameters, which we absolutely want to respect".

"Compared to last year, the mentality changes a little bit – added the ds of the Rossoblù -. We adopted a much more dynamic and aggressive style of play, so we had to try to put the characteristics required by the coach. This we did in the first part, bringing home five or six players from the summer market. Now, after a month of evaluation, I think we can still need something at the offensive level. I think that is the main operation we will have to complete to close the market".

" I think Nicola is a great coach. The choice è stemmed from the desire not to disperse the values built during the year with coach Ranieri. We think that, from a human point of view, Nicola has the ability to transmit those same values. We wanted someone who was motivated and saw Cagliari as an opportunity to be taken full advantage of. Nicola has these characteristics. È it was a long wait, but in the end we achieved an important goal because, knowing the Cagliari square, we know that he can do very well"” Bonato commented on Nicola.

For the record, Cagliari overcame Carrarese 3-1 and has è qualified for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia where it will face Cremonese.
