The Sampdoria coach Andrea Pirlo he spoke in the press conference ahead of the match against Reggiana in which the Blucerchiati will try to keep the race alive for a place in the play offs by challenging a team that won their ticket to salvation in the last round: “It will be an important match that we were waiting for since we started this journey, now it has arrived and we must be ready, knowing Nesta, they will not come here for a walk also because they still have some chance of winning the play offs and therefore it will be a final for both. There is great expectation, we know what we have to do and what we will find however is a final and therefore it must be won“.
Then there is space for the relationship with Nesta, whose teammate he was at Milan and in the national team: “He is a friend, a brother, we spent ten years in the room together and we talk often. His Reggiana is a team that plays well, always imposes his philosophy and won on complicated fields such as Venice, Catanzaro and Palermo”.
Finally, room for the Blucerchiati group which finally finds practically all the men: “Since the beginning of the year it is the first time that we have so many players, even Ferrari trained with the team this week, and we have the possibility, finally, to vary the system too game with more solutions available – concludes Pirlo – Benedetti is a player that we have missed so much this year, he has particular characteristics and is a dynamic player, we hope he will always be well as is Pedrola who is not yet his best version. , but he’s fine and is putting minutes into his legs.”
