Not even the change of bench, with Andrea Subtle which took the place of Andrea Pirloand the break for the national teams have brought about a turning point for Sampdoria with the Blucerchiati team continuing their abstinence from victories – two draws and three defeats – in this start of the season after a summer transfer market that was sumptuous on paper but which struggled to bear fruit on the pitch.
After the defeat at home to Cosenza, which made the Blucerchiati slip to the bottom of the standings, the Ligurian team is thinking about the next moves to get a team going that was considered by all the experts as one of the big favourites for the final success and that now instead seems to be retracing the steps of last season when Sampdoria fought for a long time to save itself.
As reported The 19th Century yesterday, after the defeat of Marulla, the sports director Peter Accardiback on the bench after the 5-match suspension he received when he was at Empoli, spoke at length with coach Sottil to discuss and understand the team’s current state. The choice of going on retreat for a few days could be taken into consideration, to prepare in a bubble for Saturday’s challenge with Sudtirola challenge that already appears decisive despite only being the sixth matchday.
