Didnt know went immediately, but it doesnt change much. Diego Lopez (the captain), Canini (sought after decent defender), Astori (their best defender) AND then Ariaudo, thats the hierarchy for Cagliari's defence. Ariaudo has to break his way into it (show he is better), Astori was loaned there 2 years ago, and he too barely played zip for a while.
There is no guranteed playing time, in ANY of the Serie A teams (their priority is results like anyone else, not grooming players for our benifite, Ariaudo plays when he shows he is better at it then them), especially when Ariaudo starts out from zero, because his entire senior footie experience is 3-4 appearances for us, so extra harder for him and has to show a bit more to merit it. So when you see that he hasnt played in his first month, pray tell, do you automatically think its because they have something against him? Or because its not so easy breaking into a good teams settled defence, especially as a rookie youngster?
