Cagliari back to work after Fiorentina draw, Napoli next on Saturday | OneFootball

After the precious point won at the last minute against Fiorentina, Cagliari doesn't waste time: Fabio Pisacane's team is already back to training this morning in Assemini to prepare for the difficult away match on Saturday against the Italian champion Napoli.

Cagliari, team immediately back to work after the draw with Fiorentina: Saturday the challenge against Napoli

Focus on preparation and the market

The league debut showed encouraging signs, but the Rossoblù management remains active on the market. Sports director Angelozzi has confirmed the imminent arrival of Marco Palestra from Atalanta and is working to strengthen two key roles: the left flank and the central defender.

For the flank, Cagliari has initiated contact with Roma for Salah Eddine, but the competition is high. In defense, the Monterisi hypothesis remains alive, protagonist in Frosinone's victory over Avellino. Additionally, a surprise cannot be ruled out: the return of Sulemana from Atalanta.

Pisacane's words: "We need humility and healthy presumption"

In his debut as a Serie A coach, Pisacane expressed satisfaction with the team's attitude:

"An important starting point. Now we focus on Napoli: in Serie A, there are no easy matches, let alone at the Maradona. We must continue with humility and work, but also with the right presumption of believing in our qualities."

On the tactical level, the coach seems to have a clear line: preference for a four-man defense, while leaving open the possibility of adapting to three based on the game's requirements:

"Cagliari's history has always been linked to a proactive football. The four-man defense allows for greater offensive thrust, but there will be matches where more coverage is needed."

The Primavera team also in action

Not only the first team: tomorrow the young Rossoblù, trained until last season by Pisacane himself, will play the Primavera Supercoppa final in Milan, another important appointment for the Sardinian youth sector.
