Sampdoria managed their third consecutive useful result after Saponara's 99' goal tied the match against Lazio 2-2. Blucerchiati manager Giampaolo spoke to Sky Sport after the match.
"We played a great first half against a great team. After the break we fell apart, but we've always struggled in a certain way. Losing would have been unfortunate."
On the referee's decisions that had confused him: "I'm not sure about the decision on the penalty. You cannot decide matches in the 95' for these details, but there was divine intervention when Saponara scored. We deserved the result."
"We must always have ambition and I'm not talking about removing the gap between us and our opponents, but to bring it with us when we play. It's a difficult job, it's psychological, the results need to help you. There are many dynamics. When I have a healthy Sampdoria, I know how to play, even if my team is inferior. Last year we were able to win against the better teams and still lose against inferior ones. The ability to consistently play at a high level for a long period of time will bring us satisfaction."
