The Blucerchiati had dominated the game and were leading 3-0, but almost threw it away.
“In the memory of the fans we want this great performance and not the final 10 minutes,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
Vincenzo Montella tries to forget the tense finale as Sampdoria beat Genoa 3-2 and shrugs off Giuseppe Rossi links.
The Blucerchiati had dominated the game and were leading 3-0, but almost threw it away.
“In the memory of the fans we want this great performance and not the final 10 minutes,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“Genoa did not give up after going 3-0 down and we did very well to take our chances. You can’t lower the concentration levels in Serie A, as there’s always a risk. This will serve us well for the future.
“I am very happy for the fans and the lads, though we need to improve a great deal. We want to improve the team in future, the club knows that.”
Antonio Cassano was inspirational with a series of assists and an excellent individual performance.
“He deserves to play, has great quality and a Coach must look at what he sees on the field. Can Cassano get back into the Italy squad? I don’t know, but he is motivated.
“Eder came off because he had a muscular problem and it was a joint decision, just as a precaution.”
Montella was asked about reports Sampdoria will sign Rossi on loan from his old club Fiorentina.
“Rossi is phenomenal, but we already have a similar player in the squad and that is Cassano. I believe Pepito can confirm himself in the Viola jersey.”
