“For the first time, I have all the players available and they are all called up. A full stadium is good, it means that the guys are playing good football and people are happy to come here. Even if you play for Sampdoria, it means we have fun and the team leaves everything on the field. I think this is the factor that people value most. Tomorrow is a match that I would also like to play: full stands, a very famous opponent. We want to get results. Sampdoria is a team of excellent quality, built to grow again. We all know what problems we had at club level, at the same time Blucerchiati had injuries. Now they are going through a difficult moment, but in the match with Parma they deserved the advantage from penalties; in the numerical gap with Venice, they temporarily compensated for this with three goals, conceding only two goals at the end. They are a living team and we must treat them with the utmost respect. From a tactical point of view, I expect a team that, if allowed to play, will have great qualities and important playing principles. Compared to the first tour, they have had time to explore Pirlo’s ideas and until recently they came back very well. The absence has taken its toll on them, but they are a strong and energetic team. House points are good, but we must always have a winning mentality. Home or away doesn’t really matter. If we want to stay at the top of the table, we need to think like this. Points are valid everywhere, we have to do cases at 1000 per hour. If we partially lose this idea, we risk losing, as happened in Terni. I told the strikers and midfielders that they must score goals! If I encourage players to talk to me, first of all they should be happy because I see potential in them. My goal and the goal of the staff is to encourage them to improve. At the tactical level, I have some doubts that Branca will probably join. What buttons did I press after Terni? We calmly analyzed the match and mistakes against Ternana. In Terni the performance was not bad, and in principle I would have preferred it, so I would say a bad day. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Terni is an important lesson because it teaches us that in Cittadella we must always act with maximum intensity. Difficulties with teams playing three? I looked into it and we talked to the staff about it. I think it always depends on our attitude. Analyzing the matches carefully, I think this is a coincidence. If we score right away in the first half…”
These are the statements of Edoardo Gorini on the eve of Cittadella-Sampdoria
