Tuttosport: “Crisis at Samp”, Pirlo fan: “Ronaldo coached you at Juventus”

It would be wrong to talk about a protest, but discontent is certainly growing among Sampdoria fans. Years pass, club leaders and a significant part of the players change, but the humiliating sporting tests continue. And after being relegated without appeal to Serie B, after avoiding corporate bankruptcy at the last minute, there is now a risk of even falling into Serie C. A category in which the Blucerchiati have never played in their history. Even if the Italian Cup was certainly not the main idea of ​​the season, Tuesday’s fool in Salerno also had its consequences on an environmental level. First at the Arechi stadium, where the Blucerchiati fans – after loudly supporting the team for ninety minutes – showed their disapproval of the players at the final whistle for such negative performances.


And the other evening at Genoa airport, some fans – to be honest, a small group – spoke out in favor of the team returning from Naples by charter. “As a man, I can’t tell you anything, but at Juventus Ronaldo made the formation for you,” the fan made this appeal directly to coach Pirlo, who chose to respond with a smile. “This is where you get lost, if you want, let’s talk about football,” responded technical director Nicola Legrottaglie. Nothing sensational, nothing transcendental. But from this episode it becomes clear how in a market that until now has always expressed great gratitude to the shareholders Manfredi and Radrizzani, who last May were able to avoid the collapse of the company at the last turn, a certain pain in the stomach is growing towards the team and the technical project. which doesn’t work. Responsibility must be placed on everyone, not just Pirlo, who, however, knows well that he cannot continue to lose. Despite market restrictions and the financial difficulties of the summer, the team created by the two shareholders, as well as Mancini and Legrottaglie, is not working. Perhaps Pedrola alone, who is out today with injury, remains the only real success, despite many excellent starts and some lack of confirmation (read Quagliarella) that continues to be discussed. Some operations – most notably Ricci’s, perhaps the biggest disappointment of the season – have so far failed. The ups and downs of promising youngsters Stankovic, Gilardi and Facundo Gonzalez are plenty to ponder, including in the attacking department where Borini has only been seen in glimpses and Esposito has little sting. And then De Luca and La Gumina practically didn’t arrive. Despite all the mitigating circumstances of the case, we still do not see a clear line in the club’s management. At the initial stage, Radrizzani seemed to be the “president,” but now Manfredi is at the forefront. Not forgetting Paratici’s role as an external adviser, which at first seemed to have a greater share in the club’s strategy. So much so that it cannot be ruled out that Samp can also count on a new sporting director between now and January, even if the rumors about former Sampdoria player Pascual Foggia are not confirmed. All the while, Pirlo may be playing part of the bench (the surname associated with the Sampdoria bench is Rolando Maran) in Saturday’s match against Palermo in Marassi, another crossroads in a season that has so far always experienced uphill battles for Sampdoria.
