Despite the 4-0 home defeat against Napoli, Cagliari coach Davide Nicola defended his team's performance, highlighting the good play shown for much of the match. “If you look at the result, you think that Cagliari did nothing, but that wasn't the case: for 65 minutes we played our game,” Nicola declared to Sky Sport microphones. The rossoblù coach explained that the 2-0 goal, which came at a time of good offensive production, complicated things for Cagliari: “We conceded the second goal just when we were creating play and chances.
After that, everything became more difficult, because you have to keep doing what you're doing, but maintaining balance.”
Despite the result, Nicola said he was satisfied with the team's progress: “On the one hand I am very satisfied, I see that the team is starting to do what I ask. On the other hand, we have to eliminate some lapses in attention and situations in which we are guilty of naivety.
But I can't blame the boys for much."
Nicola then sent a message of confidence, inviting people not to get discouraged after the defeat: “I don’t want us to get discouraged, we know the championship we have to play. To do that, we have to have the courage to play and defend with determination.
Napoli is a team of great quality, but the Cagliari he did what he had to do. I believe blindly in this team and I won't give up on anything, also because I'm seeing what I'm asking for and we'll get to do what's needed."
