After the 0-3 score in Pisa before the break, Sampdoria is preparing to face another treacherous away match, in Palermo. Blucerchiati coach Andrea Sottil spoke in the press conference explaining the spirit with which his team approach the match: “It’s time to really reset everything and give a definitive turning point to this championship which must see us as protagonists. The comparison was this, enough, we are the ones who do, starting with me. We have to do.”
Speaking of game systems, he explained: “I have always told you that I work on two modules, a main one and an alternative one, which I can use both at the beginning of the game and during the game, depending on the needs. This approach depends a lot from the characteristics of the players available, a team that I have not personally built with Accardi, but in which I firmly believe. Some players, like Pedrola and Sekulov, have certain qualities that require a specific formation, perhaps more suited to a wide midfield the two recent defeats haven’t stopped us, we have continued to work to adapt the system to the characteristics of the players. I liked the result, and I can say the same for the boys, who I perceive to be in favor of this solution.”
On some singles he then says: “The goalkeepers are all good, Silvestri worked very well. This forced break was useful to him, even if I caused it. He is a top-level goalkeeper, he played in Serie A and available to the team. I am also satisfied with Vismara, who has shown that he knows how to assert himself, the words of Sottil. La Gumina has had a total attitude and availability since my arrival. He is a striker who knows how to do everything and who knows how to be incisive a strong candidate to play from the start. Bereszynski? It’s a shame, as it is for every injury, even Coda’s. Bartosz is an important player, a real leader for the team, and I’m sure he’s sorry too. We have to accept the situation and wait for him.”
