The shake-up was needed, it had been in the air for some time, and it has arrived. Also because objectively there is no more time to lose. Sampdoria have sacked Semplici and decided to put Evani in charge of the team. It’s a very difficult task – even with the help of Roberto Mancini who has been seen in Bogliasco – to turn around the fortunes of a team that risks a sensational relegation to Serie C.
Yes, Sampdoria, who had obviously started the season with a completely different spirit and with completely different objectives, now find themselves in the most dangerous part of the league table. The Ligurian team has been truly unwatchable up to now. However, they have players in their squad capable of making the difference. They needed a jolt and we believe this can definitely help them win the match against Cittadella. Also because the fans seem to have got the message and shouldn’t protest against anyone.
Having said that, and moving on to the other matches in this article, after the defeat on the field of Palermo, Sassuolo, leaders of the league and now projected towards the A league, certainly don’t want to lose another match. In the derby against Modena – who have two victories in a row, the one against Pisa being fundamental – it certainly won’t be easy. Also because a derby is always a derby. But the quality of Fabio Grosso’s players, and last week’s misstep (and no one wants to lose two games in a row) almost force us to say that Sassuolo will take the three points. The standings say so. The rosters of the two teams say so.
