“We need the spirit of sacrifice, determination and unity of ideas that can take our performances up a level,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“The desire to grow and to never give in are essential. Football is made up of details and we have to analyse every aspect, leaving nothing to chance.”
Parma are fresh from a shock 1-0 win over Inter at San Siro, while Cagliari held Milan to a draw.
“We are up against an opponent in good form. They are newly-promoted, but well-constructed with top flight players, including Inglese, who I worked with at Chievo.
“We go to the Stadio Tardini without fear, but also aware we can’t make any mistakes. There is a midweek round coming up and I have a group of players that can handle the pressure over a whole week.”
Joao Pedro returned from a lengthy doping ban and immediately found the net against Milan.
“He is trying to get more minutes in his legs and training is not the same as match fitness. He has the right confidence and enthusiasm of a player who has left the bitterness of that incident behind him.”
Lucas Castro is in the squad, but a major doubt to feature today because he is suffering from flu symptoms, while Luca Ceppitelli and Rafael are still injured.
Cagliari squad for Parma: Daga, Cragno, Aresti; Pajac, Andreolli, Klavan, Pisacane, Padoin, Lykogiannis, Faragò, Srna, Romagna; Dessena, Bradaric, Cigarini, Barella, Ionita, Castro; Cerri, Joao Pedro, Farias, Sau, Pavoletti
