Cagliari, Davide Nicola calls for heart and courage

The words of Davide Nicola

These are the statements made, in press conference, by Cagliari coach Davide Nicola ahead of the away match against Torino, valid for the 22nd day of Serie A.

"We will face a capable opponent, tough and very strong in terms of quality. Torino è a team that plays proactive soccer, they have interesting players and we will definitely have to be able to take the field with our redblù heart. We will need compactness, courage, unity, organization, resilience and effectiveness in important situations" began the Cagliari coach.

"We must focus exclusively on expressing ourselves. In every field we go to we need to bring something home, matches like this make us raise the level of our performance. We are in a good moment of form, but the points we have scored so far cannot be enough. We will have to score as many, seeing how fast the standings move: we must not live by peaks but by great balance" continued the'former Empoli coach.

"Having continuity" of results I think is what everyone is looking for, but it is one thing " to fight for the Scudetto and another " for salvation. Competing against well-equipped, quality teams means having a surplus to try to cover the gap against them. We have to keep pushing, but I remain with my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds. I also dream, we have our ambitions, but we need the right humility'" added the former Crotone.

"My team has values and I am happy with what I have. Those who will arrive from the market will have to understand where they are coming from, because this jersey è like a second skin. By nature I want from my defenders aggressivenessà and loyalty;. Mina has never had a foul conduct. The two reds provoked are legitimate, if my players did that I would want the right punishment. He's a player who accepts physical confrontation, but è always been fair" concluded Davide Nicola.
