Alex Ferrari, defender of the Sampdoriagave an interview to 19th centuryspeaking both about his physical condition and his time in Genoa. “Injuries due to ‘bad luck’? In fact, the most serious ones weren’t even muscular… I had little to do with it. The last one was sensational. At Mugnaini, 5 minutes before the end of training, I blocked a shot, my foot twisted and fell and it twisted… one centimeter less or one more wouldn’t have happened. I believe in karma. Sooner or later the wheel turns and all this bad luck will come back to me and become luck in some way”.
Well, having to recover, maybe he will play until he is 45 like Roger Milla.
“I’d like to, really, but I don’t know if it’s possible… but never say never.”
Possibly always at Sampdoria?
“Sampdoria has now become my home. For all the people I have met in the club, my teammates, those I met in Genoa where
alive, all beautiful people. I was welcomed with open arms. It’s something that comes naturally to feel Sampdoria”.
There is a negotiation underway for the renewal of his contract, which expires in June. For a three-year contract. Is he aiming for 10 years at Samp?
“Yes, it doesn’t happen often in today’s football to stay for so many seasons in the same club. I have given full availability to the director Accardi. I believe in this
project, I believe in the value of the group: having someone inside who feels the Sampdoria shirt on his back makes the difference, I think. I want to help bring Sampdoria back to where it deserves to be. I hope it’s already at the end of the next championship. I would like to participate and be there”.
His is still a heavy contract from Serie A. He also agreed to meet the club financially…
“I have instructed my agent (Francesco Romano) to offer complete availability.”
