The victory is absent and the opponent has been the least organized faced so far, but the small steps forward of Catanzaro in the Sampdoria house deserve confidence. “We miss the killer instinct”, is the shareable admission of Aquilani after a 0-0 that could be different with a pinch of lucidity, precision and coldness more under the door or in the last step. Delays that are also part of the process of building a team that evidently needs time as it needed it a year ago. It is clear, the same of Wednesday evening will be really framed only together with tomorrow’s challenge in Monza, because going back is no longer admissible and therefore against the Lombards and their many higher category players will be a test of maturity.

The doubt remains whether it is better Iemmello as a center forward or second tip with another to support, but the captain as a single striker his chance had it without exploiting it: when it happens it does not use it so much to make up for it.
In general, an identity has been noticed even without having to react to the slaps as it had happened other times. The second game with the inviolated goal – the first with Spezia, second round – should not be thrown away.
«The team has had an incredible courage to come to Marassi and play in this way, Samp is yes in difficulty, but it was still a great game from all points of view. We do not yet have the ability to concretize the opportunities that happen to us because the amount of game, the times we kicked on the goal also with sharp occasions would have given those points that would make us talk differently, “continued the coach.
