Mihajlovic therapy works: Eder and Gabbiadini knock Catania down

Now
it is official: therapy works. Sure as hell. Forty-three days after its
last smile in championship, Sinisa Mihajlovic’ Sampdoria beats Catania and returns
to win thanks to the couple Eder-Gabbiadini. In a match to win at all
costs the blucerchiati, regenerated by the Serbian mister, don’t fail
the mission, reach quota 14 points in the table and leave the relegation
zone.

The match. After a first half with the result blocked on a 0-0 draw by the rossazzurri’s barricades, the match changes at the minute 9th of the second one. A header by the Brazilian Eder Citadin Martins paves the way to the blucerchiati who keep playing well, creating occasions and double at the minute 32nd thanks to Manolo Gabbiadini, who scores a wonderful left-footed goal. «It was a great goal but what really makes me happy is the final result – commented the author of the 2-0 at the end of the match-. I like my new position: as long as I can play and run on the wing I’m happy. Mihajlovic? His arrival increased our self-confidence. He brought us serenity, we’re happier and things are going better».

Positivity. «In the first half of the match we didn’t play very well, in the second one we improved – explained Mihajlovic during the press conference -. We were a little bit long, but we have really risked nothing. If we analyzed match statistics we would see that talking about shots on target and ball possession we completely prevailed. For this reason I must congratulate my guys, the credit of this success belongs to them». «The attitude is fundamental – adds Eder -, Mihajlovic positivity is incredible. Today, for example, we played without thinking that we were in the relegation zone. We deserve a better position in the table, we must keep on this way, follow our mister and get satisfactions».
