“Our season starts here,” insisted the Coach in his Press conference.
“We still have a slight advantage over the chasing pack for the Europa League. As of today we are in the position to qualify for Europe, which was not an objective we expected at the start of the season.
“The team is there, even if we’ve had a bit of an off period, which can happen. We have to wipe out the disappointments and look forward. We continue to believe.”
Samp have just three points from the last five rounds and Mihajlovic pin-pointed the moment it went wrong.
“Eder’s injury really damaged us. Now I have to ask the strikers for more goals. Luis Muriel won’t be affected by facing his former club. He is motivated and in the right head-space.”
Pedro Obiang, Lorenzo De Silvestri and Alessio Romagnoli are all suspended, so the defence has to be reshuffled.
Sampdoria squad for Udinese: Frison, Romero, Viviano; Cacciatore, Coda, Muñoz, Regini, Silvestre, Wszolek; Acquah, Correa, Duncan, Marchionni, Palombo, Rizzo, Soriano; Bergessio, Djordjevic, Eto’o, Muriel, Okaka
