Eder-Pozzi, Livorno conquered: Sampdoria picks up the first victory

The last
victory in Livorno was 46 years ago, the last time we came back from an
away match with the three points was on the past 6th of January and
Nicola Pozzi’s last goal was on the 23rd of September of last year. Finally, we
can say that taboos are broken. Scoring once again during the very last
minutes, Sampdoria wins for 2-1 at the "Armando Picchi" stadium, finds the
first victory of the season and gets a weight off its chest. And that’s a
real shot in the arm for Delio Rossi’s guys, arrived in Tuscany with
President Edoardo Garrone and finally able to move from the last three positions
of the ranking.

The match. At the minute 19th the blucerchiati take the lead: Duncan floors Lorenzo De Silvestri in the box and Celi awards us a penalty. Eder Citadin Martins, almost infallible on penalty kicks (he converted 18 over 19 since he is in Italy) doesn’t miss the shot. Samp controls Livorno’s reaction and in the second half gets close to double but without being able to take advantage of various occasions. He who errors must pay the price, especially in football and during the injury time Siligardi scores the 1-1 from the edge of the area. But it’s not over because this Samp never gives up. At the minute 50th Luci brings Vasco Regini down inside the area and the referee awards the blucerchiati the second penalty. Pozzi scores and makes us smile for the first time in this season.

Bomber. «We conquered three fundamental points because we were in a very difficult period – says our bomber Nick -. We are happy for our supporters too since they are suffering with us. We must try to obtain as many points as possible to get common satisfactions. Livorno created us some problems, we have to be objective. Next match will be on Saturday against Atalanta and we must keep working hard: we have many other things to fix».
