All square between Samp and Parma: Lucarelli answers to Eder

It
could have been a victory or a defeat. Actually, it was a draw. It seems
a banal and self-evident description but it is the most appropriate one
to briefly illustrate Sampdoria-Parma. A friendly match on the
bleachers but fought on the "Ferraris" field, where the two teams did
their best and tried up to the end to give themselves a three-points
Christmas gift. At the end, at the triple whistle of referee Di Bello,
each team picks up a point and Doria ends the 2013 reaching quota 18,
together with Atalanta.

Heart. When the balanced first half is close to the end, Eder Citadin Martins gives the lead to the blucerchiati, taking advantage of a free-kick by Nenad Krsticic. At the minute 19 of the second half, the crociati equalize thanks to Lucarelli and prevail. Then each team has various occasions to score again but the final 1-1 satisfies in particular Sinisa Mihajlovic’s guys. At the end of the match our Mister affirms: «Parma definitely deserved something more: they would have deserved to win. We tried to do our best but today, considering the way we played and the occasions created, we didn’t deserve to draw. It is a point conquered with the heart. What is important when you can’t win, is not to lose. We have to improve and we can only do it by playing».

Christmas holidays. After the interviews, the whole club met at the Sala Ospitalità of the Stadium to exchange Christmas wishes. When the party was over, the Serbian mister ordered “break ranks”: the team will meet again in a week, on Sunday 29 December, in the afternoon, at the "Gloriano Mugnaini" of Bogliasco.
