Sampdoria, Zapata:"Napoli didn't give me a chance, I spent two months practicing by myself"

After a very productive season at Udinese, Duvan Zapata finds himself at Sampdoria where he became a fan favorite after scoring a goal against Milan last Sunday. But the Colombian striker joined Ferrero's club only after not getting a proper chance at Napoli as he told Gazzetta dello Sport:"They didn't consider me. I was coming off my best season in Italy, I thought I could find some space, instead I was marginalized for two months, I practiced on my own. Luckily Ferrero showed up and he did everything to bring me here. He also wanted me two years ago when Zenga was the manager. Replacing Muriel? My goal is to score more goals than him at Sampdoria and become the Colombian striker with the most goals in Italy"
