Tomorrow’s match will be quite emotional for Claudio Ranieri as he makes his debut on Sampdoria's bench against his former team Roma. The Italian manager described his next opponent during the pre match press conference:"Roma are a good team, we'll need a great match. They look to be vertical, they try to hold possession. They're strong, but I know them well. I hope to have transmitted my knowledge to the players. Is this emotional? Yes it is. But I want to do well for our fans, I hope to get off on the right foot"
Ranieri was asked about Fabio Quagliarella:"I hope he can score tomorrow, he's getting back on track slowly but sadly a striker's destiny is tied to scoring goals. I hope he can find it as soon as possible".
