...OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT

Claudio Ranieri, coach, will not speak in the pre-match press conference as usual to respect Gigi Riva's funeral.

…AWAY MATCH

The break went well in some ways, but we didn't all recover. Tomorrow will be a battle, we know what the environment is like in Cagliari. We have to be at our best. Djidji is not at his best and we don't want to risk it, he continues with his recovery. And Ilic has back problems, he won't be called up.

…ATTACK

In my opinion it's going well, but we need to improve in certain situations. I'm satisfied with the team: sometimes we score three goals like against Napoli, other times we find difficulties against more closed teams. As players we are these, we are a bit few: they have to improve and work on them.

…CAGLIARI

They are fearsome at home, they have impressive public support and there is great attachment to the team. The environment will be even more tense and heated after what happened. We must respond as in Genoa, there was an impressive competitive energy there too. We will try to increase the quality in certain situations.
