Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] True. I managed to watch it today and it was Fulvio Collovati that said it. He said that Allegri had picked it up from Giovanni Galeone because he played in his Pescara teams. Regardless of who they were playing, they would just keep attacking. The difference with the two coaches now is that Allegri is winning more than a fair share of matches and that Galeone's Pescara struggled to get anywhere.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] The funny stuff about Allegri is that as a player he was the typical talented guy with a lazy attitude and a reputation as a troublemaker. He played 3 seasons for cagliari. All the former players commentating the last results and cagliari's great attitude pointed out this fact to him. We signed a young belarusian midfielder from Bate Borisov. Mikhail Sivakov (21). Hopefully he will turn to be a good investment. About our season... I don't know if we will manage to go on with this form till the end of season... experience tells me that there will probably be harder times. For example I think the next 2 games (at home vs atalanta and lecce) will be hard. Both because the 2 teams will probably give us far less opportunity to play an open game and because the boys could unconsciously lose a bit of mental focus.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] Massimiliano Allegri was a good midfielder between the B and the A. He made his bones with Pescara but he is doing a job as manager. I think Ballardini turned it around last year this time but I'm wondering if Cagliari is a team that starts off slowly and finishes strong. It seem that is the route they have been taking 2 years in a row.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] It's not like I didn't see it coming... I expected troubles and we had plenty of them. the biggest one being playing 10 vs 11 since the first half... oh well, I guess without that deflection it would have probably ended 0-0 because the chances were next to nothing for both the sides. Anyway atalanta overall played a better match than us, they took control of the midfield and never left us any space. The only moan vs the referee is that he let atalanta get away with constant tactical fouling a bit too much. they made twice the fouls and got less yellow cards than us.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] Milan 1-0 Cagliari Cagliari should have won or at least get a point. Abbiati made some good saves and also the post and crossbar prevented i sardi from winning. Cossu was Cagliari's best player. He was involved in most of Cagliari's attacks and he should have got a double or a hat-trick. Allegri's team played with more flair and conviction tha Milan but once Seedorf scored, that seemed to die down and the subs made little impact. Seedorf's goal was due to bad communication between Lopez and Marchetti. I blame the Uruguayan more than Marchetti.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] and also inzaghi "cleverly" pushing lopez at the right moment... you said it all. I think we did deserve a draw even though some of the players didn't perform as usual (for example biondini and fini).
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] On another day, Cossu could have won that game off his own boot but unfortunately, it didn't happen on Sunday.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] Allegri linked with Milan: http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/apr8b.html I don't really believe it but if it's real, Allegri isn't ready. I think it's too soon for him and at Cagliari, it's ideal for him because he has the players to fit in his system. At Milan, he will have to deal with bigger names.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] How about Totti & Conti getting into it?That crazy! Two romanisti...kind of like Caine and Abel...
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] long time without watching this thread, wishing all the best to see cagliari play eufa cup, come'on we still have chance..!!!

Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] It's 2 weeks in a row that I miss the games due to Confirmation parties... I am still trying to digest all I've eaten... mmm and the red wine... the match vs reggina was played awfully or so I've been said... btw there was one real gem and it was lazzari's goal. The boy can play I told it before... if only he could find some consistence he would become top team material. He's got truly great skills.

Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] It was 1000 times better than the goal Bergkamp scored with Arsenal, that's for sure! A goal like that proves to me that in Italy, you don't need to be a star to score those types of goals. Even the low profile players in Italy are gifted enough to score such beautiful goals.

Cagliari 2009/10 [R] Cagliari started slow again under Allegri but they seem to be getting into their stride again. I sardi got a 2-0 win against Juve. Nene` has been a revelation so far for Cagliari. He has done well to replace Acquafresca and Matri too has been impressive. Jeda hasn't been scoring as much as he had last season though.
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] MODS PLEASE CHANGE TITLE OF THREAD TO JUST CAGLIARI......I DIDN'T WANT TO START A NEW ONE.....

Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] Cellino: West Ham are "disastrous" Saturday 16 January, 2010 Massimo Cellino said West Ham's “situation is disastrous,” but the Cagliari patron was won over by their fans. The President of the Sardinian side is in the midst of a takeover bid for the Hammers said to be worth £100m. “If the deal goes through then good, if not then never mind. I will in any case become West Ham's new Number One fan,” he said. “I am waiting for an answer and took the steps I needed to take. I did everything by...CONTINUE READING
Re: Cagliari 2008/2009 [R] I hear that too. I know its tough with Juve, Milan and Inter but if he has £100m, why wouldn't he want to make Cagliari a contender in the Serie A? The current Cagliari team seems only a few players away from that point, so why not invest in his current club?
