Born in 95 but already an important part of the blucerchiati's midfield. Karol Linetty has become a fundamental part of Giampaolo's team and is now decisive after his three scored goals: "It's not easy to be a starter in this Sampdoria, there are a lot of quality midfielders, I try to improve every day trying to convince the coach. The concurrence is a positive thing though, we're a cohesive group and we know the team's interest go before our owns" has he said to Tuttosport.
He studies to become a great player like Sampdoria are studying to become a strong team, ready to take that additional quality step up: "Becoming a strong side is in our DNA, we always play to win. It's not been easy understanding what the coach wanted, but I now can say that I'm perfectly integrated. I'm a better player thanks to Giampaolo, I've grown a lot. I'm more aware of my abilities".
Focused on his work, but also on his younger teammates: "When Kownacki and Bereszynski have arrived, I've helped them and tried to explain them everything". After the win in the derby, there's another important game against Juventus: "We'll try to win, playing in front of our fans. Europa? We shouldn't look at what we've done but what we could do in the future, thinking to fight and do more".
