Sampdoria's Fabio Quagliarella believes that his fellow striker Luis Muriel 'should make him a statue' for the assist he provided in the derby against Genoa.
The pair have scored ten Serie A goals between them so far this term, and have formed a formidable partnership.
"Muriel should make me a statue, because I do not know how many people would have made an assist like mine in the derby!
Sampdoria's Fabio Quagliarella believes that his fellow striker Luis Muriel 'should make him a statue' for the assist he provided in the derby against Genoa.
The pair have scored ten Serie A goals between them so far this term, and have formed a formidable partnership.
"Muriel should make me a statue, because I do not know how many people would have made an assist like mine in the derby!
"Now I speak more with him on the pitch more than I do with my mother and father off the field. If he does what the Coach asks it benefits him, it benefits me and the team as a whole.”
What about rumours that Muriel has been subject to interest from the likes of Napoli?
"These are choices that belong to the club, surely to interfere with a group that works so well is not the best solution for us.
"I ususally stay on average for a year or two, then I run away!
"Seriously though, I’m not planning to escape from this project, we are talking about a renewal with the club and the intention is to continue together."
