In the Sampdoria-Salernitana field.
LIVE
It's the last call for salvation: tomorrow against Salernitana Sampdoria can't make a mistake if they want to keep hoping for salvation.
A victory, even if it doesn't lead to great leaps forward in the standings, however serves to fuel the conviction of being able to attempt a run-up that seems impossible.
On the contrary, a defeat would put a tombstone on the blucerchiati also struggling with a very complicated corporate situation.
Salernitana, fifth last at 24 points, is 13 lengths away, but a misstep from the Campania side could suck them dangerously downwards.
Blucerchiato coach Dejan Stankovic believes in it because despite the defeats that brought them to last place, the team proved to be alive, but held back by an asphyxiated attack.
"
I want the points to move up the standings - he says -, we need a performance from Sampdoria.
We know that we will find an opponent reinvigorated by the success at Monza but, in front of our fans who support us in every situation, we have to play without fear and without fear of making a mistake," explained the coach to the club's official channels. "We have to give continuity to the Rome's performance was one of the most positive both from a technical-tactical and physical point of view.
We stood up to a team that beat Napoli and this aspect must give us even greater strength and awareness in our means", adds the Serbian coach. With Gabbiadini suspended and Lammers injured, Stankovic relies on Rodriguez and Quagliarella with Sabiri at their side shoulders to try to score. "We have some absences,
but whoever takes the field will know what to do.
Having said that, we don't want any alibis: it will be my job to field the best formation and whoever takes the field will do so in the right mental condition to play openly."
