Cagliari Calcio announce on September 24, 2020 the signing of Uruguayan Defender Diego Godín on a permanent deal until June 30th, 2023.   Godín will wear the shirt with the number 2.   Surely, it is a superb transfer for Cagliari.

Godín was born in Rosario on February 16th 1986.

As reported by Cagliari official website, Godín began his career in the ranks of Cerro and Nacional Montevideo and then moved to Villarreal, in Spain, just 21 years old: in three seasons, 116 appearances and 4 goals, in national and international tournaments.

During the summer of 2010, he moved to Atlético Madrid, where he contributed to write unforgettable pages in the history of the red and white club as a protagonist. Almost a decade full of successes and great achievements: with the “Colchoneros” jersey he won the title of Champion of Spain (2014), the King’s Cup (2013), the Spanish Super cup (2014); 2 Europa League (2012 and 2018), 3 European Super Cups (2010, 2012 and 2018). He played two Champions League finals, also scoring in the one played in Lisbon against Real Madrid. He will leave Atlético after 389 games and 27 goals to continue his career at Inter: with the Nerazzurri last season he played 36 games, reaching the final of the Europa League, where he scored a goal.

Captain and strength of the Uruguayan National teams, he took part in three editions of the World Cup, including that of 2010, where Celeste reached the fourth place; he also played five Copa America, and won in 2011. In total with the Celeste he collected 135 caps and scored 8 goals.

Innate class, grit, strong will to win. Strong leadership qualities, overwhelming charisma: with Godín Cagliari acquires a player of absolute international level, one of the strongest central defenders, outstanding in the air, best known for his ability to tackle and anticipate opposition movements, and for marshalling the defence.

Sardinia is in his destiny: “el Faraòn”, which continues the long tradition of Uruguayan players of Rossoblù, is married to Sofia, born in Cagliari and daughter of the beloved former midfielder Pepe Herrera.

Welcome to the family, Diego!

On Matchday 1, Lega Serie A and @ufficio_antidiscriminazioni stepped onto the field to fight all forms of racism and discrimination. #SerieATIM! 👊 ⛔ #KeepRacismOut

The first game of the 2020-2021 Season was Fiorentina vs Torino on Saturday 19 September at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.  The victory was for Fiorentina after the goal by defender Gaetano Castrovilli to become also the first to score in this season.    One goal was enough to grab the victory and claim all 3 points.  We must say that Torino put up a strong front with goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and this time Torino star forward Andrea Belotti could not score.   Fiorentina 1 -0 Torino.

The second game   ended with a goalless draw.  Hellas Verona were not favorites to win.  Yet, this draw is more a flop for AS Roma failing to score and not winning the away game under the new Friedkin Era.  Hellas Verona avoided the fall and grab 1 point at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.

Juventus, the reigning Italy’s Champions, making their 2020-2021 Season debut with a convincing victory.  Juventus win the Serie A Week 1 defeating Sampdoria with a 3-0 on Sunday 20 September 2020 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.  The debut also for Dejan Kulusevski scoring a goal, then, Bonucci, and sealing the victory was Cristiano Ronaldo.

A mega start for Genoa with a poker at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Genoa defeating newly promoted team Crotone with a 4-1.  Surely, this is not a good sign for Crotone who will have to archive this humiliation and win their next game to boost the morale of the team and fans.  The journey in Serie A for Crotone for the moment is uphill.

Napoli Coach Gennaro Gattuso must be delighted with his team winning the away game at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.  Napoli defeated Parma with a 2-0.  Good start for Napoli and the smile is set.  The highlight of the match is Captain Lorenzo Insigne playing his 350th game with Napoli and what a way to celebrate than by scoring a goal!!!!  Yep, Insigne sealed the victory scoring for the 2-0 in the 77th minute.

AC Milan starting the season with forward Zlatan Ibrahimović scoring 2 goals in the first game sending an optimistic message to the fans.  AC Milan giving a headache to Bologna unable to react.  The objective for AC Milan this season is to make it to the top 4 to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.   We see the debut of young Sandro Tonnali in the 77th minute replacing Franck Kessié.
