Let me tell you, guys. There is not a serious contender for the moment to bring down Juventus. Yep, incredible so, AS Roma had the first position for weeks and now they are down to the 2nd position while Juventus have a wide advantage of 8 points! Simply put, the status quo in the first position will not change whether Juvents win, draw, or lose.

Another expected game is Bologna vs Lazio featuring the debut of coach Davide Ballardini who replaced coach Stefano Pioli.

Here are the 19 official Cagliari players by coach Diego Lopez for the game against Juventus on Sunday 13 January 2014 for the Serie A Week 19 game. Sono 19 i giocatori convocati per la partita di domani contro la Juventus.
Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Cagliari, 12th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -6
Juventus, 1st position with 49 points and a positive goal difference of +31
Here are the 19 CAGLIARI official called up players by coach Diego Lopez for the game, Cagliari vs Juventus on Sunday 12 January 2014 at the Sant’Elia Stadium in Cagliari, Italy for the Serie A Week 19 at 15.
Goalkeepers: Adan e Avramov
Defenders: Astori, Avelar, Del Fabro, Murru, Perico, Pisano, Rossettini
L’esame più difficile per il Cagliari arriva nell’ultima gara del girone d’andata. Al Sant’Elia arriva la Juventus che ha vinto gli ultimi due campionati ed è sulla buona strada per conquistare il terzo. Il tecnico rossoblù Diego Lopez è consapevole delle difficoltà proposte dalla partita. “La Juventus è una squadra bene organizzata con dei singoli di caratura mondiale. Penso a un grande attaccante come Tevez e a uno come Pirlo: tutti gli allenatori avversari, sia a livello di club che di nazionale, gli mettono un uomo addosso per cercare di annullarlo, ma lui fa riesce sempre a eludere la marcatura e a giocare bene”.
La vera forza della Juventus, secondo Lopez, al di là della qualità della rosa, è la mentalità vincente. “Giocano ogni partita con grande concentrazione, non importa chi hanno davanti. E’ questa la differenza tra loro e le altre pretendenti al titolo: queste ultime possono vincere una partita contro un’altra “grande” ma poi inciampano contro un avversario meno forte perchè lo prendono sotto gamba. La Juventus no: può pareggiare o perdere, ma gioca sempre al massimo”.
Come affrontare un avversario del genere? Lopez sostiene che la miglior difesa è l’attacco. “Devi cercare di fare il tuo gioco. Se non cerchi di andare verso la loro porta, li tieni vicino alla tua area e diventa molto pericoloso, prima o poi il gol lo prendi. Non dico che sarà facile, ma non vedo altro modo per cercare un risultato positivo”.
Cagliari-Juventus è anche la prima senza Nainggolan. “E’ un giocatore completo, sono sicuro che farà bene alla Roma. Glielo auguro perchè è anche un bravo ragazzo. Non cerchiamo un suo sostituto: abbiamo giocatori con diverse caratteristiche che possono svolgere il suo lavoro”.
