Cagliari Coach Massimo Rastelli reveals he studied Inter carefully to win at San Siro. “They have a lot of quality, but no balance.”
Joao Mario had put the hosts in front this afternoon before Federico Melchiorri scored one and forced Samir Handanovic to concede another in the 2-1 result.
“I chose to use Melchiorri today rather than Marco Borriello because I knew Inter would push forward more than usual,” the tactician told Sky Sport Italia.

Joao Mario had put the hosts in front this afternoon before Federico Melchiorri scored one and forced Samir Handanovic to concede another in the 2-1 result.
“I chose to use Melchiorri today rather than Marco Borriello because I knew Inter would push forward more than usual,” the tactician told Sky Sport Italia.
“They’d push up the full-backs, use Joao Mario as a trequartista, so we found space to go on the counter and in these situations Federico is a master.
“In the first half we were too deep, but saw a different Cagliari after the break. We worked on the Inter defects and studied them carefully. It is a team with a great deal of quality, a huge amount of quality, but no balance, so we worked on that.
“Davide Di Gennaro played as a trequartista, where he gives his best and doesn’t get bogged down by having to cover the defence. He was involved in all our positive moves.”
