In the name of Stankovic, Kasami and Vieira: three faces of Sampdoria returning to success

A roar with a taste of liberation. In the wake of what sounded after the final whistle of the match with Cosenza. Under Marassi’s downpour, Sampdoria secured three platinum points on Saturday, providing continuity at least at home and putting the Bolzano defeat to Südtirol behind them. Against Palermo, the Bluecerchiati played arguably one of their best games of the season, earning the lead and then fighting tooth and nail until the final moments of the match when the Rosaneros, who had held well for two-thirds of the match, surged forward in search of a goal that would change the balance of the match.

In the name of Kasami and Vieira…

The outcome of the match was again decided by Fabio Borini, who, having missed the penalty, repeated his attempt on goal, making the easiest shot. The former Milan and Roma striker carries the team on his shoulders, as he should, but Ronaldo Vieira and Paitim Kasami appear in the match against the Sicilians. The “working class” that leads Pirlo’s team to success. Great quantity but also quality of ball and chain, just look at the fireball that hit the post at the start of the match by the former Rosanero player, who did not hold back, even inciting the crowd at the end, like a true leader. The English midfielder intercepted all the balls, chasing his opponents in all areas of the field, also receiving well-deserved applause.

… and Stankovic

On the podium and also on the top step is Filip Stankovic. The Serbian goalkeeper, criticized after some mistakes at the start of the championship, is becoming increasingly confident in his abilities and is showing himself to be increasingly decisive in his saves. Fully recovered, he locked the door on Mancuso, saving the result and earning a standing ovation from the South. He rolled up his sleeves and left the grumbling behind. Now it’s time to think about your next commitment. On Saturday, Samp will travel to the Bglia in Modena against the Bianco team. A very tricky challenge, but we need to find continuity. The path is still long, but the rating is not smiling.
