Cagliari full

Davide Nicola can finally smile: the Cagliari coach will be able to count on the entire squad at his disposal for Friday night's 8:45 p.m. fixture at the Unipol Domus against Hellas Verona, in what will be another delicate challenge for the salvation fight after the draw with Genoa last Sunday (2-2).

"I have everyone available – stressed the Rossoblù coach in the press conference on the eve of the challenge against the Scaligeri -. Verona è tough team, despite the difficulties. Every opponent has its qualities and components. Great determination must be a strength".

"Pressure è a privilege. We need to feel it,” added the coach of the Sardinians.” Often è used in a negative sense, but for me it is not so. Personally, I always want to hear it, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing my job. Playing after five days? The team has recovered. The problem arises when you play every three days. I am also making different evaluations on playing strategies and in the future we can put them into practice".

" I always want to control the race. We always start with the intention of hitting the opponent. The concept of favorites è funny: what does it mean to start favored? Verona has had 4 wins, we haven&#39t. We have to aspire to the performance and the decisive approach on the match itself. Management? It's a term I don&#39t like. We have to be able to read the race, not manage it. We have to be good in the moments of medium or low intensity;. We have to be maniacal in managing the details. I want to favor myself, I want the team to be aware that they can bring the race home. The mental and physical level è fundamental" concluded Nicola.
