“We’ve tried a new formation in the last few days,” he said at a Press conference.
“It won’t be an experiment because it’s something we’ve already implemented in previous weeks.
“The lads must know everything, beyond the formation. How they read games also counts for something.
“In our last two games we’ve picked up only one point, and that doesn’t give us serenity, but our performances have been satisfactory.
“We have to be good at turning things in our favour. We’ve scored 20 goals less last year? It's a fact, but we deserve a few more goals.
“The table, however, is tight and we want to move up it. Cagliari will come here to play their game.
“They’re a team who drew with Roma, despite having a player less, and were 0-0 with Napoli until the 92nd minute so we must be careful.
“Lotito expected more, I agree, but he also reiterated that we got through our Europa League group and were fifth in Serie A.
“Lucas Leiva’s given me some excellent signals, completing the last two training sessions, but he’s been out for a while.
“We know how important he is, but rushing players back isn’t a good idea. I’ll make a decision because we have three matches close together.
“Milinkovic? He must answer on the field, but I see him fired up. I’ve never put him on the bench.
“Sometimes I’ve rested him in the Europa League, but he’s on the right track.
“What Cagliari do I expect? They won’t have Pavoletti, but they do have Cerri, Joao Pedro and Farias like against Napoli.”
