“We played an excellent match up to 2-0, then we didn’t drop a bit and Juve’s quality came out”are the words of Davide Nicolawho spoke at the end of the match against Juventus valid for access to the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, which saw Cagliari emerge defeated with a 4-0 final. A result that adds to the 2 consecutive defeats in the league against Fiorentina (1-0) and Atalanta (1-0). The next seasonal match for the Sardinians, third to last in the standings, includes the survival match against bottom-placed Venezia: a match scheduled for Sunday 22 December at 3pm. This will be followed by the home match against Inter.
Nicola: “Honoured by the Italian Cup”
“We honored the Italian Cup in the best possible way, we had an excellent team up front and I’m sorry because in the first half we could have found the advantage – he declared to Mediaset microphones -. The boys gave everything, someone has to grow and it was right to also see who plays less because we need everyone. What are we missing? We have to create numbers that we don’t have yet. To do this, we must create opportunities and be able to exploit them. We are ambitious and humble, up until the 2-0 we demonstrated that we have ideas and the desire to honor our commitment. Then we dropped a little and took a risk. I accept the verdict. We didn’t think as if the Italian Cup was a nuisance for survival in the championship. Tonight we came here knowing we had to make some changes to keep everyone on track, but also with the intention of believing in it and we proved it until 2-0. Afterwards we didn’t succeed in what we wanted, but Cagliari came here to compete and they did.”
