Fabio Pisacane admits the two Inter goals in quick succession left Cagliari \u2018dazed\u2019 in an eventual 3-0 defeat at San Siro and warns Serie A safety is not guaranteed yet.<\/p>\n

The Sardinians managed to muzzle the Serie A leaders for long spells at San Siro, but capitulated after Inter scored two goals in the space of three minutes with Marcus Thuram and Nicol\u00f2 Barella.<\/p>\n

Piotr Zielinski made the final result a little harsh with a powerful strike from distance in added time.<\/p>\n

Pisacane saw strong Inter against Cagliari<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s natural that the double blow really knocked us down and we were dazed after that,\u201d Pisacane told Sky Sport Italia.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil then, we were playing well, and knew that even if we were perfect, that Inter would cause us problems. We are against the best team in Serie A, but the regret is that we could\u2019ve dealt with the assist for the opening goal differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trouble with Serie A is that every game is difficult. The ones that seemed on paper to be easier are precisely those where we tended to get it wrong. We must always be on our toes, and at the same time realise that like today, doing everything right isn\u2019t necessarily enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be realistic, keep picking up points where we can, and continue to chase our objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is Pisacane\u2019s debut Serie A season as a coach, and they still have a significant cushion from the relegation zone, but have lost seven of their last 10 matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been an unusual campaign, we had a lot of serious injuries, but tried to stay alert, play our football, and I think we saw many young players impress tonight too. I feel they will be the ones, guided by the old guard, who can take us to the objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cagliari went into the weekend with a six-point gap from the bottom three, but if Cremonese or Lecce win, it could get halved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not over yet, if you look at the table, Torino had almost the same number of points as us a few weeks ago, and now they are a long way ahead, so that\u2019s going to be a tricky match.\u201d<\/p>\n
