“We have to start taking points, the league table doesn’t look good, but there are still another 23 games left to be played, and we have the time to improve,” said Gotti in his press conference.
“It would be important to win tomorrow, but if we should lose and then have a great run of results, that would be fine too.”
Udinese lost to Juventus last weekend, and were 3-0 down by half time, but Gotti says he liked what he saw in the second half.
“The first half against Juve was very negative, but in the second I saw some positive signs. We will start from there. I’ve seen the lads during the week and I have some indications from where I will start.”
Opponents Cagliari conceded two late goals against Lazio on Monday night, going from a 1-0 victory to losing 2-1 in stoppages.
“I have no idea how they’ll react. They changed their objectives last summer, and important players arrived," continued Gotti.
“They’ve just come from 13 games undefeated in the league, and they have great potential. We are talking about a very good team and things are going well for them at the minute.
“Given how they’ve reversed score lines in the last minutes of games, with Lazio it went the other way, and this could have an effect on the team.”
