Sampdoria doesn’t start from three like the great Massimo Troisi did in one of his best films. Andrea Sottil and the Blucerchiati start again from four. Four like the elements of the defense that should start from the first minute in Palermo after the championship break next Sunday. “The coach already had the idea of trying new solutions – Pietro Accardi said in a conference last Thursday – by virtue of the recoveries of certain players who are important for us but who had to be waited for due to their initially precarious physical conditions. He is working on another module but this is more of a technical-tactical aspect and it is right that he investigates it further.”
Gear change
The moment is certainly not the most rosy, on the contrary. The point collected in the last three matches, with zero goals scored, led president Matteo Manfredi, in concert with the technical area, to suspend the players’ permits and trigger a withdrawal that ended only a few days ago. We need to start again, but to do so we need to change our attitude – as the sporting director himself told the media -. You need competitive determination and the desire to fight for every ball if you want to get results again. We start again with the former Udinese coach, confirmed in the saddle and not in time. But a change of direction is needed.
Bereszynski stops
And Sampdoria, however, could do without its captain, Bartosz Bereszynski. The Polish defender was injured with his national team and may not be available for the “Barbera” match. An important absence which would deprive the team of an element of absolute experience and who was also able to extricate himself from the role of right “hand man” in a three-man defence. His condition will be evaluated day by day. Hoping that the entity is less serious than expected.
