On one side, the hot part of the standings to detach from once and for all. On the other, the Europa League objective, needing to be chased until they're mathematically eliminated. Sampdoria and manager Marco Giampaolo take on Parma tomorrow in hopes to gain three points. Giampaolo spoke on the team's objectives, as well as Fabio Quagliarella's chase for the capocannoniere.
"Samp without goals? When your goal vanishes and you're out of the game, you have less motivation. This is in all things in life, not only football. Then there's the rational part that every man needs, the respect for the jersey and your fans. Improving on last year's point total needs to be an objective, it will be. We raised the bar specifically because we thought it could be motivation for growth for the team."
On how the matches left can help Quagliarella reach his goal to become capocannoniere: "I hope that he's motivated to reach this goal on the eve of the match, but it's a personal objective. To reach a personal goal, it's up to that specific player."
