Giampaolo calls for consistency Thursday 13 September, 2007

Cagliari boss Marco Giampaolo has called for his side to build on their Week 2 performance against Juventus as they travel to Parma.

The Isolani are amongst the favourites for the drop this term, but they eased past Napoli on the opening day and were only denied a point against Juve by a last-gasp goal.

Swiss-born tactician Giampaolo seems to be heartened by the early signs, but is demanding that the Rossoblu continue to impress as they face another side expected to struggle.

“You only get results by working hard consistently,” the ex-Ascoli boss told L’Unione Sarda. “I want another 30 performances like the one against Juventus.

“I told the lads at the start of the season that to have a good campaign we would have to work 10 or 15 days in a row.”

One man attracting plaudits is Pasquale Foggia, who featured in Roberto Donadoni’s Azzurri squad.

Despite rumours in the Press that Liverpool are ready to pounce for the Lazio-owned winger, Giampaolo insists that he will spend the rest of the season at the Stadio Sant’Elia.

“The club has told me that none of the speculation is true and there will only be arrivals in January, not departures,” he stressed.

“It’s too early to talk about transfers as our sights are still set on survival after just two games.”
