In the next match Sampdoria will face Como, with a little more confidence after the point gained at Picco. Andrea Pirlo, Sampdoria coach, returned to one in the pre-match press conference match tainted by refereeing errors for the Eagles. We offer you some extracts.
Pirlo’s words
About the team: “We have recovered from the intestinal virus and this week we have pushed to raise the level. We are ready to fight with Como and sacrifice will be needed. Pedrola and Esposito are also well. We come from two games not played well and now we have to recover, we know who we are and what our qualities are, we want to win tomorrow. The play-offs? If we go there it will be because we deserved it.”
On the Picco race: “When you bring home a positive result from a difficult pitch it is always important. We played a game of sacrifice, taking risks sometimes, but when you take a point that may not have been deserved, it gives you a bit of confidence. We analyzed the match but now let’s move on.”
