Miles of Cagliari fans were surprised to find out that Gianluca Lapadula would not be attending the club's celebrations. Although initially the footballer gave an important reason, the situation has taken a 180-degree turn since his statements to the press.

At first, the 'Bambino' confessed that he made this decision because he is going to Seoul to join the Peruvian national team, so he affirmed that he will do everything possible to encourage his teammates through social media. However, he will not join the national team until the match against Japan.

"The meeting yesterday touched on some important points. The most important thing is to be a family, from all points of view. It was a beautiful moment that we shared among us. I will not return to Cagliari tonight because I will leave with the national team, but I will do everything possible to encourage my teammates," he said to Sky Sports.

In addition, Lapadula was asked how many goals he would like to score in this new season in Serie A, stating that he will work hard to achieve a good record.

Gianluca Lapadula was the top scorer in Serie B.

"How many goals will I score next year in Serie A? It's a good question. I believe a lot in hard work and I don't set limits for myself, I am in good physical condition and that's why there is only work," he explained.

Lapadula applauded the work he did in Cagliari

Finally, Gianluca Lapadula highlighted what he did this season with Cagliari, emphasizing that all of this is thanks to the good training he had with his teammates.

"I have to say that especially this year I played alone, with two, with the offensive midfielder. I have no problems, I adapt. There is excellent work with your teammates and that helps you on the field. Header shots? Anything can be trained. In Cagliari we have a sports center where we can work on everything," he concluded.
