They were angry, irritated, they had drawn a game already won, which is considered a defeat for the club, a defeat for the team's work, a defeat for teamwork, this defeat had destroyed the confidence that the players had built up to face Tottheham, due to their National ability they could not be considered one of the best teams as they were placed between 5th and 8th last season and now they are fighting to stay in the top 4, while we are in first, but they had a fact, a conscience, a mentality that
Cagliari didn't have, a great competitiveness, people or a team with great competitiveness tend to reach extremism.
Today it wouldn't just be a game it would be a war and the Cagliari team was still not prepared to know or to participate in what people call a war on the field.
Why are you so nervous? Aren't you going to tell me it's because we're facing Tottheham? (Continued)
No, it went far. (Usman)
There is! I understand, it's the expression you use when you're going to some other city you don't know, strangely you didn't show it when you went on gaming trips, but I remember that expression from when we went to Switzerland because of Technos. (Sofia)
Yes, the culture itself can be considered similar when we are on the field, but they are essentially different off it, on the first trip or in my first team, I had a certain difficulty in adapting, even so I had someone there who welcomed me and taught me several situations and occasions about France, I consider it a good memory just because of them, other than that, well, leave it alone. (Usman)
Sofia didn't say anything and hugged Usman from behind.
You speak in such a sad way that it even makes me forget about my failure yesterday. (Astori)
You really like playing with my face, don't you, I was the one who took his place and I was the one who made the most changes when he entered the field, I was also the one who wasted most of the opportunities to open up an advantage, so for you to say that you failed really breaks the my face as a player. (Nenê)
Don't think too much about it, today will be another game, and it will also be a dispute over another competition, so you talking about it now will only divert us from the focus we have today which is to maintain the draw, of course if we have a chance to win, I prefer win, but we will be playing in England for the first time and I don't think we will adapt as well as we think. (Conti)
You say this to be polite or to appear humble, because it really sounds like complete confidence that you are already in the next stage of the competition. (Sofia)
I very much doubt they feel like they are just playing for a draw. (Claudia Nainggolan)
I also think that you will play to win, you are in the first phase of the competition and could end up facing other English teams, so do your best. (Carlotta Cossu)
