Cagliari vs Brescia preview - Brescia chief calls for more of the same



I have a say

Posted Sunday, April 10, 2011 by PA

Brescia president Gino Corioni believes his team are showing the qualities needed to beat relegation.

The Rondinelle go into Sunday's match at Cagliari in 19th position in Serie A, just two places and two points behind safety with seven games remaining.

Last weekend's 3-1 win over Bologna halted a six-match winless run for Brescia and Corioni has demanded more of the same when they travel to Sardinia on Sunday.

"We played a great game against Bologna," Corioni said on the club's official website, wwww.bresciacalcio.it.

"For us it was a vital game and we stepped up for the challenge and took a crucial victory.

"I believe with this mentality we will defend our Serie A status.

"The team is growing and the players are aware of the importance of our next game at Cagliari.

"I am confident we will do well."

Brescia have won just once on the road this season, a 1-0 triumph at Chievo on September 19.

Since then, the Rondinelle have mustered four points away from home.

The good news is that Brescia coach Giuseppe Iachini will be at full strength with veteran defender Jonathan Zebina having recovered from an ankle injury.

The Rondinelle can expect a battle at the Sant' Elia stadium, with Cagliari looking to climb up in the Serie A standings.

Sunday's 1-0 triumph at Genoa lifted Roberto Donadoni's Cagliari to 10th place, 12 points clear of the drop zone.

That result followed their 2-1 defeat at Napoli and their 4-0 loss to Udinese.

"We have already secured our top flight status and our next task is to finish as high as possible in the table," said Donadoni.

"Unlike others, we can approach our next games without any pressure.

"We will continue to work hard and give our fans more joy."

Cagliari welcome back midfielder Daniele Conti, who returns from suspension.
