Sampdoria.

Let's start by talking about us. Everything nice. Nice derby. Beautiful chest. But now we don't relax too much as often happens after an important event post-stress. We are in the decisive phase of the season and we still have a lot to fight for. The contribution of Nicolò Zaniolo will be very important. He has to listen to Roberto Mancini, a former great second striker like him, and talk more with his teammates. Meaningless, trying to shoot while he comes back like he tried with Turkey. You can also go back to keep the ball, but in this case either he takes a short pass, or changes sides or crosses, or, if he wants to shoot, he has to take a step forward. Step-back shooting exists in basketball, in football it is impossible. Daje Nicolò!

Mariupol is a city like Genoa Zelensky told the Italian Parliament. Mariupol like Srebrenica. Like Aleppo. Like many normal cities that are then practically disintegrated due to the folly of man. Like Mariupol, Genoa too has a proud and warrior people. As I recalled in the pre-match against Genoa CFC, Genoa freed itself from the Nazi-fascists before the arrival of the Allies. It is a gold medal for the Resistance. Like Rome. The hope is that Mariupol will soon have peace (and freedom). Like Ukraine. Like the inhabitants of Luhansk and Donetsk. According to the self-determination that these peoples give themselves. According to the free choice of these peoples. As did Genoa. And I thank, in my small way, Erdogan (whom I have often criticized) for the peace efforts in Ukraine.

Giampaolo deploys the 4312 which then becomes 3412 during construction with Murru at the height of the midfield and bank to build. They suffer from the pressing. If pressed, they can resort to the long pass where they have Quaglia good at being fouled and Caputo who can hit on the counterattack.

The midfielder who offers more play in the attacking phase is Candreva, who is a winger but has been adapted right midfielder. Good with both feet. He can get down on the wing (he has great speed and dribbling) and cross right or go from right to center to shoot left or reward Breszynski's overlap which he can then cross.

Defend by zone on the corners.

Sampdoria is a good team. He has several weapons that he can use. We cannot relax after the derby. We will have to hold on. We will have to play at our best and, by doing so, we will be able to take the trenette with pesto home. Daje Roma!
