“Sampdoria, hunt for new targets begins in Venice” – headlines 19th century.
Pirlo will have to do without Pedrola, Borini and Esposito. More than half of Blucerchiati’s 24 goals were scored by them. And Penzo will also miss Kasami and Gonzalez, as well as Vieira, Ferrari and Conti.
This is a tough hunt for targets. The chase begins again, the obstacle course rises again. The curse of Sampdoria. First Pedrola, then Borini, now Esposito. One by one, Pirlo lost all his attacking stars. The attack is emptying, the infirmary is filling up. When Sampdoria seemed to have found momentum in the final 16 metres, here came the blow. Can’t the defenders stop them? The injuries are successful, they are all muscular. A problem that needs to be addressed as the numbers become alarming. But now the most pressing issue must be resolved. Find someone who will give him a lift tomorrow in Venice (16.15). And then again against Parma and Cittadella, matches that will be without three strikers hoping to reinstate Esposito in early February. The three who together scored more than half of Doria’s goals, 13 of 24, 3 for the Spaniard, 5 each for Borini and Seba. Considering that Kasami (2 goals) and Gonzalez (1) will also not be in Laguna, Pirlo will miss two thirds of the goals scored, 16 out of 24.
The emergency situation affected all departments. Eight players were absent from Penzo. Seven starters. Suspended in defense are the suspended Facundo, longtime Ferrari patient (sacral surgery) and Conti (soleus muscle pain of at least 15 days). Missing from midfield are Vieira (adductor muscle, he also leaves at the beginning of February) and Kasami, suspended for two more matches (the club’s appeal rejected) and injured (problem with the semitendinosus muscle, he will be reassessed after Venice). And then the attack occurs, the strongest blow. There is Pedrola, who was announced to have recovered from a musculotendinous injury to his right hip flexor, but returned to Barcelona for full rehabilitation and returned to the field after mid-February. There is Borini, who underwent surgery on the tendon of the long adductor muscle of the left thigh: examination by Professor Lampainen gave a positive result, the striker continues his recovery in Liverpool, will start running in the next 15 days and will return to Bogliasco in February. But to return to the field we go to March. And to these two was added Esposito: first degree damage to the rectus femoris muscle of the right thigh, he will be re-examined in 15 days, if everything goes smoothly, he will return with Modena or Pisa.
At the beginning of the season, it was Pedrola who supported Samp with goals and dribbling. Three goals in the first 8 matches of Doria in crisis, then, when Borini comes to an end, against Catanzaro, Estanis stops, ending with a relapse against Cosenza, in Fabio Day, with a winning double. In Modena in mid-November, Esposito scored the first goal, and in the next match, a win against Spezia, Borini was injured. And Seba leads Doria with 5 goals and 1 assist until the end of December.
And now? Now it’s the others’ turn. The top scorer available for Venezia is Depaoli, with three goals: at Penzo he will play in midfield, but above all we demand more from those in front. We start with De Luca, important for the team game, but so far only one goal. However, La Gumina scored two goals but faltered after some initial recovery.
Benedetti can give a big hand: in the last two seasons between Imolese and Bari he scored 10 goals. In Venice he will advance in attacking midfield next to Verre. […].
