Cagliari, Davide Nicola relies on unpredictability'
Born fifty kilometers from Turin, he wore the granata jersey as a player. And he also coached Toro. Now forò his kingdom è Sardinia. Davide Nicola è a former who sees only rossoblù. Focused on the present: Sunday’s challenge against Vanoli’s team è an important test to confirm if there really has been a turning point for his Cagliari after the four points in two games between Parma and Juventus.
“More than a mental turnaround,” he said in the eve press conference, “I think we are moving, through training, from performers to experimenting with automatisms that also shorten playing time. We don't need this match to understand what our identity is: we are understanding our characteristics and then developing a system of play that will allow us to confront teams that play 3 or 4 at the back. We want to create problems for all opponents. What I ask the boys è to be able to counterattack and find spaces to hurt when possible".
Toro without Zapata: "Competitive and qualitative team – explained the coach – manages to always stay in the game as shown or goals at Inter or Lazio. Quality", physicality" but also change of mentality;: keeps the center of gravity high and knows how to implement more" strategies". Zapata's absence is not an advantage: "Adams è a player, very interesting, Sanabria I know well, strong technically, knows how to make the team play well. We have to be good at countering by expressing our principles. Our idea è also to make ourselves ready with moreù solutions and therefore trying not to be predictable".
No formation or indications on the starting eleven. With one certainty: there won't be Obert, the protagonist in the last two away games, due to the injury suffered in the national team: "But we don't have starters or reserves, he said, è it is clear that, with the next close games, there will be some alternations". Individuals: "Marin is showing how important he can be for Cagliari and his national team. Mina is training a lot, we will see then with the close commitments if he canà need a different recovery time, respecting his physiology. Adopo is growing".
