Cagliari: Pietro Accardi reveals he's happy to join. Promoting investment guidelines for youth players

Today at Sa Manifattura in Cagliari, a press conference was held to launch Pietro Accardi as Cagliari's sporting director. Accardi, who has experience with both Empoli and Sampdoria, answered questions from the press frankly. Time: 11:15 Press conference scheduled for 11:30 At 11:30 there was a slight delay. At 11:38 the press conference began. When asked about his feelings today Accardi said. “I was lucky to have played at Cagliari as a competitor. The field here is not easy at all. The feeling of belonging to this island is unlike anywhere else. I am also from the island, so I understand. Thank you to President Giulini for giving me the opportunity. It was Cagliari who chose me.” He added that the transfer market is still at an early stage and he must always consult with the coach. “The team has a good foundation. But we want the team to be more competitive.” About the trading market guidelines Accardi said. The club lost some players and had to find a way to make up for that loss. The president wanted him to work closely with the youth department. “There is no difference. We are one family, just Cagliari Calcio.” When asked if this was an opportunity for compensation for performance, He used an analogy: “In life, not just in football. You might get it right ninety-nine times. But if you're wrong once People tend to remember that mistake. But growth must come from some failure. When you're alone It is a work of self-discovery. I went through that period. When you make a decision, success is 50% and failure is 50%. If today I had the opportunity to represent Cagliari, I know that I take on a lot of responsibility. I will give my all.” The issue of the squad is of interest, with the media asking about Belotti and Dossena, and Accardi denies they have overlooked it. Belotti is a well-known player and has been praised for both his quality and his value as a person. But there are problems with injuries. "We are still evaluating the situation." As for Dossena, he said they are looking at other options and have no immediate intention of renewing his contract. As for Caprile, Gaetano, Esposito and Obert, Accardi revealed: “There are currently no offers for any players. The idea is to keep the core and strengthen the team. But we also know that transfers have to come from both sides. Therefore, we must also look at market demand." Working with coach Pisacane is something Accardi sees as important. “I believe the coach must be at the center of the project. Fortunately, we have talented and smart coaches. Even though I'm a new professional coach, I'm making my name in a difficult league like Serie A. I don't intend to replace the coach. But intend to support and help" When asked whether they will focus on the Italian player market or not. He made it clear that the approach is to invest in youth players. But for youth to grow, it takes experienced players along with them. “The right combination will make the difference. Italianness or nationality Not the main issue We look at opportunities according to the market." As for the plan to strengthen the first position, Accardi said the goal is to build the right team. If there are any damaged spots, they will be quickly filled in so that the coach can start working with new players quickly. Asked about Prati and Luwambo, Accardi confirmed that “For Luwambo we have two deals open and are evaluating. Prati, on the other hand, is technically considered property. We will see in pre-season whether he is still with us or not.” Finally about the target list of players. Accardi said “We constantly consult with the coaches. And have a clear idea of who they want." The press conference ended at 12:52. --- ## Related Articles 1.
