Giampaolo hails team and Samp faithful after comfortable win

Speaking after Doria’s 4-1 victory over Cagliari, coach Marco Giampaolo reserved special praise for the home support.

“The fans really drove us on – they always give us a little bit extra,” he said.

“It was a dominant win and it keeps us on the path to keep chasing our dream.”

Things were complicated for Sampdoria at the half-way point of the game, when Fabio Quagliarella was forced off injured.

“The fact we had to take off Fabio meant we needed use a different formation to what we’re used to, so at the start of the second half we lost our bearings slightly,”  the boss commented.

“But then we got it together and took home a deserved win, after how the boys played.”
