Eusebio Di Francesco confirms Fabio Quagliarella is back for Sampdoria, who must face Inter with “knives between our teeth” tomorrow.
Samp are bottom of Serie A after four defeats from five games and host an Inter side who are top with a 100 percent record.
However, the Blucerchiati have been boosted by the return of Quagliarella after he missed their 2-1 loss to Fiorentina midweek.
“Incidents often affect games,” Di Francesco said at a Press conference.
Eusebio Di Francesco confirms Fabio Quagliarella is back for Sampdoria, who must face Inter with “knives between our teeth” tomorrow.
Samp are bottom of Serie A after four defeats from five games and host an Inter side who are top with a 100 percent record.
However, the Blucerchiati have been boosted by the return of Quagliarella after he missed their 2-1 loss to Fiorentina midweek.
“Incidents often affect games,” Di Francesco said at a Press conference.
“I didn't say anything controversial. Chiesa was offside for Fiorentina’s goal. Murillo did everything to avoid the [second] yellow, the opponent looked for contact.
“A Serie A player must also be motivated in training. The Inter Coach [Antonio Conte] talks about ferocity and ruthlessness. We can’t be surpassed in that respect and we must have knives between our teeth.
“Morale also comes through results. Losing isn’t pleasurable. I’d like to see maximum focus. Matches last 90 minutes and we did better in Florence.
“Chabot is an excellent defender, he’s among those available tomorrow. I have to check Ferrari, but Quagliarella’s back. Gabbiadini won’t be.
“We won’t return to a 4-3-3, we’re working differently to a month ago. That makes the difference.
“We need to look to the bench and the players available. There are times when it’s better to bring in certain players. At difficult times, it’s right to play those who have more experience.
“[Federico] Bonazzoli is a possibility. I’m happy for his goal, but he mustn’t be satisfied. I want more.
“The Marassi must be a fortress for us.”
