Di Francesco (getty images)
Cagliari lost 2-0 to Lazio in the first season at the Sardegna Arena. A goal in time, from Lazzari and Immobile, decided the result in favor of the guests. Coach Di Francesco analyzes the game in this way: ““ At the beginning we conceded too much to the Lazio restart; We arrived late in the pressures and we had to fall short in certain situations: the quality of his plays put us in difficulty, we could not connect the two phases, we were on a bit of streaks. In the first 25 ‘of the second half we were aggressive, we began to recover more balls in their midfield, the game became more balanced: there were positive signs, a shame for the opportunity that happened to Simeone, equalizing at that time could have changed certain dynamics, even from a psychological point of view. Then came the doubling of Lazio that practically ended the game. “
WORKING TO IMPROVE – “We will work to understand why the approach was not successful, we need to improve certain mechanisms. That Lazio is strong and Cagliari must grow are two established facts, also taking into account the little time available to prepare for this championship and that many new players have arrived from other leagues. It is not easy to face a team like the Blue and White, they have been playing together for years and have many quality elements that they know well. My players and I still have to get to know each other well: it is not an excuse but, in any case, an extra incentive to try to improve quickly ”.
GROWING PROCESS – “The defense fought for individual and departmental errors, but it also happened because the midfielders should have given more support. I must remember that he defends himself with eleven men, not only with the four protagonists. We have to be better at running back and forth, but they are mistakes that happen in the growth process. We cannot base our judgment on today’s’ 90s team. The guys work well with great availability, I am satisfied. A little more personality, contributed by the more experienced players, can help young people to grow ”.
