Cagliari boss Gianfranco Zola admits tonight's game with Inter Milan is a must win.
Zola concedes they cannot afford to lose.
"The game against Inter comes at a bad time for us, there's no point denying it," said Zola in a Press conference.
"A victory would be fundamental, especially in light of this weekend's results with Chievo and Atalanta losing.
"We need to be very focused on Inter and try at all costs to keep the initiative in our hands. If, as we did against Torino, we let ourselves get pushed back into our own half, we'll be tortured.
"When we get our heads into the right space to attack and take the initiative, we become a completely different team."
