The players left the field feeling discouraged, while this time Avelar, Agazzi, Astori and Camilleri were called to join the press.
How does it feel to lose your list of perfect matches this round? (News reporter)
We are neither happy nor sad, as we had practically expected that we would not have the chance to keep the consecutive victories with our capacity being exhausted in each game. (Astori)
How do you feel having been considered the best player in that match?
Well I feel mixed emotions I played well in other games per se but the only game I become MVP is the game my team fails to win so for me I don't have a complete sense of mission accomplished but I do a satisfaction in saying that managing to keep the opposing team's game as difficult as possible to the point that they were unable to make it 1-0 at home. (Hail)
What do you think happened to Usman?
I think people have to give him some time in the last game he didn't participate due to the fatigue he was showing, in this game he wasn't in his 100% state and he was able to show all his football, but that's practically normal because Nainggolan and Conti also failed to demonstrate their football today.(Agazzi)
...
A few days passed after the game against Parma and the Cagliari team, even with the tie, managed to remain in 1st place.
1st Cagliari 22 Pts, 2nd Roma 21 Pts, 3rd Juventus 18 Pts.
With Usman's inability to play a good game against Parma Ivo has not put him on the list to play Fiorentina in Florence.
With the 2 games in Jejum without having scored Usman loses the complete lead and ends up disputing it with 3 other players.
1st CF Usman 6 goals 1st CF Klose 6 Goals 1st CF Pato 6 Goals 1st CF Cavani 6 Goals
In these 9 games, the only team to have two players on the list of scorers in the top 8 is Roma, who are in 2nd place in the league standings.
Once again Usman didn't mind Cagliari's game and spent time enjoying the day alongside Sofia venturing through Cagliari.
The game ended with Fiorentina's victory over Cagliari, Cagliari lost their title undefeated in the league.
When they were in training, people practically had complex expressions, they had just come out of a defeat and would be facing Milan playing against Pato, who was in a good moment.
The team played at a spectacular level at home where the fans who were not expecting such a magnificent game saw Usman returning to score goals on the field in the 10th game in his 8th game in the championship Usman scores his 7th goal for the Cagliari team arriving Close to his number of goals from last season, he is once again MVP on the field.
Having won against Milan, Cagliari returns to 1st place, 1 pts ahead of 2nd place, 1st Cagliari 25 pts 2nd Rome 24 pts 3rd Juventus 21 pts.
What were you thinking? (Sofia)
Just wondering if I bet on my team to be champion. (William)
Well, if you're confident of getting another 15 wins, bet, if you're not, don't do it.
15 Wins?
Yes, on average Italian teams become champions with 23 to 26 wins you already have 8 wins in 10 games if in the 28 games you are getting 15 I do not doubt that you will be able to become champion of the season đ. (Sofia)
15 wins out of 28 games in so I guess I'll bet it's on my own team so I'll try to make that happen.
If you thought so I will bet on you too, in all it's better not to bet too much so bet only 200,000 thousand I will also bet the same amount, just don't complain afterwards because you really have to make an effort to get the return in the end.
It's okay, I'm going to break my limits and overcome them every game with you taking care of me.
Wilian said that and kissed Sofia's lips, the two kept the kiss lasting while they were sitting together on the couch spending time together.
Arriving the next day at training Usman learned that he was scheduled to play against Sampdoria in Genova, a team that started the season together with Cagliari fighting for the top, but after the 6 Round disappeared from the top 3 of the classification, the team that took them cup last season, it was time for Usman to settle the score.
The trip was smooth and they managed to train in the city before the game, the players were excited again that they were fresh and not having the pressure of keeping the wins and the perfect scoring trajectory and just playing to stay in the first place was their concern .
Usman on the other hand looked like he was breathing lightning and fire from his feet as he moved soundlessly like wind flowing like water he was practically testing his body like he was doing record breaking workouts so Cossu and Conti had to grab him to let him be reassured, as they couldn't get tired before the game started.
Meanwhile Ivo was practically watching his players and didn't scold or condition any of them, they were showing spectacular football again after playing Milan, so he just decided to watch the players on the field.
Before the game against Sampdoria started Usman had lost the top scorer;
1st CF Klose Lazio 8 Goals
1st CF Right-handed Roma 8 Goals
3rd CF Usman Cagliari 7 Goals
That is, in that game he would have to score again like that in the game against Milan, otherwise he would be left behind in the scorer list.
While he was thinking about the goals he would score, his teammates were thinking about the condition of the team.

Cagliari leaves the pitch being applauded by their fans.
Arriving in the locker room, Ivo started talking to be careful with Sampdoria not letting his guard down in any way they were dominating the game even if we manage to be winning it was because of our precision on the field we made 2 kicks, the 2 kicks were on goal, the 2 shots went in, we had a corner where the cross went to a goal, and we were only having 46% of the ball possession, making the team playing more to defend than to keep the ball or to attack it's like we were playing in counterattack condition.
This is not a good thing to happen to a team that is playing away from home even though they are winning and we are supposed to do our best to keep possession of the ball.
I didn't allow them the chance to create any play we have to completely suppress them this second half.
After the boss's tips and scolding, everyone went back to the field where the 2nd half would start.
