Pietro Accardimanager of Sampdoria, spoke in the press conference at the end of the match at the Mapei Stadium against Sassuolo, valid for the 16th matchday of Serie B, speaking in place of coach Andrea Sottil who is under discussion. Here are his words taken from PianetaSerieB: “I believe that it is the hardest, most difficult and delicate moment of this season, which is not over yet. But I feel like I want to apologize to all the fans who followed us today on this day of celebration. I am primarily responsible and I feel like I have to show my face in moments like this. It’s clear that something isn’t working and we need to find solutions.”
Accardi continued: “Today we provided a performance far below what the team can give. Today, from me on down, we are all in discussion, we cannot go on like this. Then I will speak with the president and we will talk. certainly give more, but if we continue to be discontinuous on the pitch, sometimes with the right approach, sometimes with the wrong approach and if sometimes we show signs of growth and sometimes we are disoriented, it is clear that we need to ask ourselves questions and find some There are solutions problems, but our task is to always analyze the performances and the moments in a clear and balanced way to reverse this trend. I can assure you that we are trying even if we didn’t see it today: our commitment is maximum we compare and analyze every situation. After the transfer market, the conditions were different, by all accounts this was a team aiming for the top of the championship.”
The manager then closed by sending a message to the players and fans: “We are a mentally fragile team, it’s up to us to find a solution to improve. It’s not clear what Ferrari has, it seemed like a sprain: we’ll do some tests and we’ll be clearer later.” There is bad luck with injuries, but that shouldn’t be an excuse because we have a squad large enough to make up for important absences. This team hasn’t lacked humility, but these situations can happen in football now , but our strength is ours the idea must be not to suffer the moment, but to react by finding solutions. Whoever was chosen to represent Sampdoria knew what they were up against, I for one. We must not forget how we started. You only get used to these situations more problems when a team is inconsistent in its performances. Sometimes the players seem lost in the void. In the last three years Sampdoria has experienced very similar and difficult situations to deal with. We decided to take players of a certain level and with some experience, we knew that in this championship Sampdoria was considered a team to beat. Now everyone, including me, is having difficulty. On our part, we need the will, conviction and madness to do everything to turn this story around. I wish the fans were proud of us, now they’re not and they’re right.”
