“It will take a perfect game to make a good result in Milan against Inter.” Cagliari coach Ivo Pulga did not paraphrase when he was describing the difficult task facing his team on Sunday. “In terms of the quality of their resources they are on another planet. We are calm, we have nothing to lose, but we are also aware that we can not make any mistakes. A single one is enough to be punished by Inter. History is full of teams like ours that have played well against a superior opponent, but still went home empty-handed.”
The only way to get the result from Milan is to double the effort: “We have to run for 95 minutes. It will take grinta, determination, sacrifice and the same intensity that we showed last Saturday against Catania. At that time, the ball did not want to go in, but if we repeat that performance, I would be happy.”
Cagliari will play as a team, where personal glory is secondary to the benefit of the team’s compactness. “We will defend ourselves with 11 players, but at the same time, we will be proactive. Then we will obviously need some luck otherwise, it is unthinkable that we take any points in Milan.”
Pulga still have not decided who will play at two positions: “One in midfield and one in attack. I will defer my decision until the very end, also depending on how Inter’s formation looks. In the attack I have a variety of options: there are many and all are good.”
