Cagliari, Pisacane ahead of the Coppa Italia: “Two starters are not called up for tomorrow, we all need to do more”

Tomorrow, at 6:00 PM, the round of 16 match between Napoli and Cagliari is scheduled at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples. The coach of the rossoblù, Fabio Pisacane, spoke at a press conference ahead of tomorrow's away game. Here are his words, as reported by Cagliari's official channels:

On the approach after the match against Juventus

“A team like ours that hasn't won in two months needs to do something more, we all need to do more. In Turin, there were moments when we defended well as a team, and others less so, and against big teams, you can't make any mistakes. In these two post-Juventus training sessions, we worked on the things that didn't work, sometimes it's not just the technical-tactical aspects: when you want to win, you also have to add something extra in terms of competitive spirit. Turning the current situation around depends on us, on how much we really want it: evidently, what we've done so far hasn't been enough.”

On the lineup

“Folorunsho and Palestra are not traveling to Naples, they have some minor injuries, and we don't want to risk them. Along with them, Mina, Mazzitelli, and Zé Pedro are out, while Rog returns to the squad. It will be an opportunity not so much for rotation but to give playing time to some players who have played less so far, to see them in action and understand how much they can contribute: Kilicsoy and Rodriguez might start from the 1st minute, while Caprile will definitely be in goal. We know the importance of this game, we want to make a good impression and advance to the next round.”

On Napoli

“A high-level match will be needed from everyone and for more than 90 minutes, with that compactness that was lacking at times in Turin. Every match is important to get closer to improvement, it's an opportunity to seek victory, we want to taste that feeling again. It's disappointing because the guys work well and there's nothing to criticize about their attitude and dedication, but we need to bring out something more.”
