Gigi RivaCagliari’s historic striker, spoke to DAZN about the match between rossoblù and Barryvalid for final match Second Division League 2022/2023. These are his words:

The Road – «Seeing Cagliari fight for Serie A given the situation they were in at the end of the first leg is an extraordinary result, few perhaps could have imagined. Reaching the final during the qualifying round is a great result and I think Sardinia deserves a team at the top, who, even if they don’t play consistently in Serie A, are always willing to fight to get there.»

Ranieri – «Ranieri was a turning point for Cagliari this season, he is a coach with a lot of passion and he managed to pass it on to everyone. He was the first to have a passion for Sardinia and Cagliari and that feeling he passed on to the players and fans. President Giulini was also good at identifying and making an extra effort to get a coach who could reverse the negative trend of recent seasons, because passion and love were necessary to recover the place and rediscover the enthusiasm that had been lost.»

for the masses – «I do not speak before the match. All I say to the boys is to keep believing until the end, to fight for these colors and then things will go as they are, the important thing is to put everything in it, especially your heart. That’s the only thing that matters: fighting to the end and giving everything on the pitch. For Rossoblu fans, it is very important to see the players fighting for a people and not just for a football match. We won the scudetto with these principles, if we were not so united, if we did not play with the feeling that the whole population wears us, we would not have achieved such amazing results. This is the spirit we must pass on to those who play and those who will play for Cagliari».
