With the start of training to regularize the physical conditions of the players and the lack of games, Wilian Usman, who was super excited, was training in a way that completely surpassed his mentor Ceppelini's expectations.
Ceppelini was very surprised with Usman's adaptation in training his skills to the point that before the start of the season the mentoring training with Ceppelini was over.
With the end of training with Ceppelini, Usman had acquired a new ability or ability that could be used on the field in the Line Breaker game, simply even having acquired such ability, Usman did not know if he would be able to use it in the game, he was very uncertain about it.
He had very high expectations that he would be placed to play in the 1st game of the season in which Ivo said it would be against Genoa and we would be playing at home, that is, we would have to start with a step forward so that in the end it does not happen what happened last year even though it was Cagliari's best season he still had expectations of playing in the Champions League for the team this year, but he failed to score goals in the last few games and when he scored the defense failed to defend the opposing team's attackers .
