A captain’s goal, Quagliarella setting the example: “What a wonderful feeling”

Fabio Quagliarella popped up with the equaliser against Cagliari when Vasco Regini was still wearing the armband, but this time he was able to soak in the adulation from the fans as skipper.

“Scoring in this manner is an amazing feeling,” the veteran striker said to Samp TV. “It made the scoreline 2-1 and I only saw it really late.

“It’s important for me to celebrate with our fans. We wanted to continue the positive run and we’ve managed to do so.

“We’re compact and united,” Quagliarella concluded. “This result is useful going into the derby.”
