Sampdoria bends Udinese’s resistance to 23 points, placing itself on the left side of the standings. A very precious victory for Ranieri’s team that was able to overturn the race. He matched with character and then won with quality. The technician analyzes the challenge to the microphones of DAZN.

SHOCK – Sampdoria manages to react after going under in the score. A comforting sign. Or, if you want to look at the match from a different perspective, the need to be shaken to turn bad. “In the first half we were determined but Udinese surprised us on the counterattack, I asked to be careful but they put us in difficulty. We have been tidy but too closed on the outside. We didn’t have to leave Quagliarella alone, it was not served much “.

QUALITY – The difference was also in the quality. Candreva and especially Torregrossa have recorded. “The only thing to do was to look at the mirror considering that we were unable to play the match we had in mind. Taking Torregrossa and having Quagliarella and Keita can change a lot. I have several strikers and all of excellent quality, but the important thing is to be able to find balance in the team ”. Speaking of quality, Candreva’s spoon scared him. “At the moment I thought… they are boys. Then I spoke to the doctor, I told him to check me … “

BALANCE – The important thing is also not to concede a goal. “We pushed a lot on the outside knowing that up front we have those who can fight and hold the ball and who can finish. I hope Torregrossa gets 90 minutes soon because he doesn’t have them yet ”. It fitted in great though. “It seems to have always been with us and can give us a lot because it goes well with everyone’s characteristics. This allows us to do many things ”. Quagliarella appears saddened. “If he’s sad I understand, nobody wants to go out especially when the team loses, but I have faith in him. Quagliarella is our champion, the captain, the symbol of this team and he will give us a big hand again for this and next year ”.
