Stramaccioni focused solely on Cagliari clash

The young coach underlined that his main priority is beating the Sardinians on Saturday and gave little importance to Mario Balotelli's potential return to San Siro.Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni has revealed that he is not obsessed with finishing third in the Serie A table.The Nerazzurri currently occupy seventh place in the league standings, seven points adrift of the final Champions League spot, with only eight matches remaining before the end of the season.Stramaccioni's long-term future will reportedly depend on whether he can guide the team to Europe's premier club competition, but he is not focused on moving up the table."Today, I do not care about the table, I am only thinking about Saturday's match at Cagliari," Stramaccioni told reporters at a press conference."We must only think about this match, without getting distracted by the standings."I always work trying to achieve perfection, and it is normal because of this that I think about the future."Things change so quickly in football that no one cares about the future. We are only thinking about Cagliari."Stramaccioni then played down the remarks of Inter president Massimo Moratti, who stated after the 5-4 victory against Genoa that the 36-year-old coach had brought back enthusiasm to the team."I do not know how it was before, but I have no secret," he noted."During the week, I try to use all that I know and the only thing we need is to work hard and think about facts."Questioned about his opinion on Cagliari, Stramaccioni said: "They are organised, solid and very dangerous in attack."Results speak for themselves and I think they are going through a good moment."The Italian coach also commented on the situation of Wesley Sneijder, who has been out of action for almost one month as he recovers from a groin strain."I have spoken with him, and he is working hard to return and prove his worth," he explained.Inter technical director Marco Branca recently hinted that the club may try to resign Mario Balotelli in the summer, but Stramaccioni did not divulge any further information."He is a great asset for Italian football and Man City," the coach affirmed. "Since he is not a player of mine, there is no point in talking about him."Mario is a great talent, but I am only thinking about my players."
