Sunday's loss against Inter was the third consecutive loss in the Serie A TIM for Sampdoria. This moved them further away from a European spot. Despite this, fans were able to meet Albin Ekdal and Dennis Praet at the Joma Willy Sport store in Genoa today. To speak to the microphones - before dedicating himself to selfies and autographs - was the Belgian midfielder, who took stock of the team's current position.
"We played well against Inter but we failed to get the three points and it hurts. If we are worried about the current moment? No, because even in the last game we had a good performance: we had two matches against top clubs - Inter and Napoli - that were not easy. The match that we had mistake in, was the one against Frosinone. However, now we have to start acquiring points again, starting from Sunday's challenge against Cagliari. We need to win in this next match. We will face Cagliari in front of our home fans and we have to take the three points, it's the most important thing."
Their side will have several absences in the next match: "It's not easy, we have a group with many players: I hope that Jankto will return to the group, but there are also other players who can play in his position."
On Europe: "If it is still a goal? For me, Europe is always a goal, there are so many games, we have to believe in it".
