A victory that was needed. That was needed “like bread”, to quote the MVP of the “Ferraris” race Lorenzo Comes. Sampdoria returns to success and does so by returning to home ground with a performance full of grit and determination. Just as their coach Andrea Sottil wants. After the defeat in Cosenza, Coda and his teammates leave with three important points against Sudtirol that are needed to raise their heads after a season start to forget. The match was decided by the former Fiorentina and Lecce defender, who was able to find a trajectory with his left foot that ended up in the top corner. A personal score that could have been even more rounded if a sensational crossbar hadn’t hit them just moments later.
Zero goals conceded in the last two home games
The Gradinata Sud is smiling, the faithful Blucerchiati are smiling. The defense is also smiling, having run few risks yesterday afternoon, something right at the end when the Alto Adige team was pushing to find the equalizer. But Silvestri’s goal remained untouched once again. The second consecutive one between the friendly walls. An important fact that should not be underestimated considering how much in the past the team had suffered conclusions and especially goals that cost important points.
Now the derby
Keeping our heads down and continuing to work to achieve consistent results. This is the goal that the entire Sampdoria environment has in mind in light of two really important league games that precede the break for the national teams. An important crossroads to test the team’s ambitions. First, however, there will be the Coppa Italia derby della Lanterna against Genoa next Wednesday. “It’s beautiful and – Sottil told the official channels – I hope it will be a celebration in the stands too, especially that we will be ready”.
