Statements by Cagliari
After failing to win at home against Empoli and struggling at the bottom of the table to avoid relegation, Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri was satisfied with the draw and acknowledged the effort of his players despite the result.
"I wouldn't talk about bad luck. We played a good game, we pressed in the first half, but Empoli knew how to play. We knew how they played and we responded blow for blow, then we played a great second half, creating a lot and not picking anything up. We are there and we know we will fight until the end" declared, the strategist.
"The performance was there, not the whole result nor the patience. Was it right to disallow Viola's goal? I do not know, I have not seen it again and it is still difficult for me to judge something that the referee has annulled and reviewed on the monitor. We do not have a good relationship with the VAR, unfortunately è so "ended, Ranieri.
Milan Statements
