“In these games, it is important to be courageous and find the strength to be positive, even if the opposition is stronger on paper,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“I want a team that is tight, moves as one and doesn’t leave gaps between the lines. It’s especially important that we don’t give Nainggolan the opportunity to send the forwards through, as he can be devastating if given space.”
The Sardinians are without Charalampos Lykogiannis, Luca Ceppitelli and Rafael, while Diego Farias is not 100 per cent fit, but Maran had praise for veteran Croatia international Darijo Srna.
“The President showed great intuition by approaching Srna. Even though he was out of action for a long time, he has confirmed all his quality.
“Leonardo Pavoletti has now shaken off his back problem and is ready.”
Cagliari squad for Inter: Daga, Aresti, Cragno; Andreolli, Pajac, Klavan, Pisacane, Padoin, Romagna, Srna; Dessena, Bradaric, Cigarini, Barella, Ionita, Faragò, Castro, Joao Pedro; Cerri, Farias, Sau, Pavoletti
