Nervous Sampdoria but growing in Verona
At Sampdoria there are also divisions in terms of epidermal feelings: there are those who show relief for the equal of Verona, who interrupted an alarming sequence of consecutive defeats, and those who eat their hands for the delicious opportunity to break the Bentegodi and virtually arrive at an anticipated salvation. The final quarrel between captain Quagliarella and Yoshida is an episode that, while confirming the tension of an environment that is not at all peaceful and relaxed, must be resized, and not only in light of the clarification between the two, which took place at the resumption of preparation.
The Sampdoria were delicate moments for which they were absolutely not prepared, and this is the only handicap they have they suffer from competition that is certainly less technically provided, but mentally more aware is focused.
The new attitude of the Sampdoria, strengthened by the choices of Mr. Giampaolo, finally convinced to place his pieces in the most suitable places on the board. And here is Candreva and Thorsby take back their beloved bands and in the middle of the field Sensi, very disappointing in the latest performances, leave the more tonic Vieira space, less gifted in terms of quality but much more suitable for the battle climate.
The result was a less beautiful Sampdoria but much more concrete and capable of looking after the point. A complete metamorphosis from the point of view of character and attitude: the pitch was guarded in the best possible way and the sources of the Scala game dried up at the origin. On the other hand, the Sampdoria were not chasing dreams of glory but the 0-0 one that would have given breath to their ambitions to stay in the category. Destiny has even packaged more than its own merits an unexpected advantage in the form of a cadeau from the former Genoan Gunter: naivety which Sampdoria without results found the way to goal. but attention: in Venice twice and also against Salernitana the Sampdoria had exploited the mistakes of others. Also a sign of cynicism and cunning on the part of Ciccio Caputoalways protagonist in the four circumstances.
The Gialloblù reaction in the second half was so pale as to raise a thousand curses for the draw, grabbed for a general sleep of the Dorian defenders, but above all of Murru, uncertain, and Yoshida, the most guilty of all. And here Giampaolo has to explain to us at least the suicidal move of removing a dignified Augello to revive the Sardinian. As for the Japanese, it was only bad, as without the Ferrari injury he was not registered in the central area.
We start again, however, with that point in the standings that was in the objectives of the eve. The Salernitana explosion, which has become irresistible, it has become a crazy variable that complicates the salvation enterprise, but the success of Genoa six days before the derby has helped to lower the morale of the Sampdoria. The basic feeling, however, is that between now and mid-May we will still see some good ones. And who knows that the missing points – apart from the derby – cannot be present from a Fiorentina no longer very well launched and from an Inter that in the final round may have celebrated the Scudetto of the second star.
