Fabio Quagliarellaformer Sampdoria striker, speaks to 19th century of the current conditions of the team to which he is so attached: “The victory in the derby brought impetus, awareness, positivity to the environment. We saw it in Modena. Now there is no need to relax, also because you are Sampdoria and everyone in Serie B wants to beat you. Compared to last season there is no comparison. That was a team of unknown youngsters and wearing the Samp shirt is never easy. This one has a more structured goalkeeper, Silvestri. And a striker, Coda , from another category. Latino has yet to fully integrate, but now he has started to score goals and it’s a boost of self-esteem be strong, he has the ability to lead the group.”
Is she the favorite for the A?
“In Serie B you bring it home with continuity and quality. And let’s go back to Coda, what goal did he score? While I was watching the play live I said out loud “lob him as soon as the goalkeeper is out”… he did something else. This is quality.”
And Juve Stabia?
“It started very well, it’s a great thing to immediately put hay on the farm. Smart coach, Guido Pagliuca. His team has a strong identity, gritty but plays good football and it’s never easy to combine the two things.”
Would you like to play it?
“I would like to play every match I see. Last season I would have liked to stay at Samp, I wasn’t given the opportunity… the last phone call, from Legrottaglie: they had a project of only young people. But then if you send Gabbiadini away and not renew my contract, and not for money, and take some “old men”, you would have done better to say that you no longer wanted the old guard”.
Who do you still talk to?
“With Antonio Romei and Massimo Ienca, they always put me in the best conditions to give my best, always present in my and the team’s difficult moments. Points of reference who never went back on their word. And then Ravaglia, Depaoli, the warehouse workers. I they asked to go to the new Mugnaini, I’ll do it. They tell me it’s spectacular. It’s one more thing that brings points. I saw it built, I thought what my locker would be… And instead, hello emergency management managers I no longer have contact with, they didn’t behave very well, they got praise but I don’t know… Everyone will have to deal with their own conscience.”
On the Scudetto fight: “Napoli with Conte have what it takes to annoy everyone, they have created enthusiasm. They are among the favorites for the scudetto.”
