Samp doesn’t play, Palermo strolls: the rosanero win 3-1

There’s
no regret today. No injustice at a sport level and of course no
clapping. Uneasy, untidy, ineffective. In the second consecutive home
match, this unexpected Sampdoria is defeated by Palermo in the worst
way. That is to say: playing bad, giving rosanero
the first three external points of this season and increasing the
safety dreams of a possible rival in the effort to avoid sinking.
Yes, because thinking that we’re already safe would be an
unforgivable mistake. There’s an advantage and it must be
protected. Starting from Sunday afternoon, when there will be up for
grabs much more than a simple Lanterna
derby.

The
match. But let’s go back. Without Andrea Poli and Nenad Krsticic, the
blucerchiati
have difficulty creating the game and at the 35th
minute concede a goal. Von Bergen punishes Sergio Romero during a collective
hesitation of the defense, but shortly after Samp equalize with
Gianni Munari, with a head goal, after Eder corner kick. The 1-1 situation
lasts just during the interval. At the 5th
minute of the second half Ilicic goes ahead, jumps over the rivals as
bowling pins and signs the new advantage for the Sicilians, who at
the 11th
minute seal the match with the third goal of Garcia.

Unacceptable.
After the match all considerations are univocal. «We’ve
been to bad to be real, under every point of view. I just hope that
it has been due to the tiredness», said Delio Rossi. The sports director Carlo
Osti added: «I apologize to the fans and to everybody who loves Samp
colours: the performance has been unacceptable. If we think we’re
already safe, we’re really mistaking».
