Genoa – United as one man in supporting Sampdoria, compact at home and away, with a passion that also affects their opponents.
Divided in the way of reacting to the rumors about the sale of the club concentrated at this stage on the offer of the sheikh Faleh Khalid Al Thani, on the negotiations carried out by the film entrepreneur Francesco Di Silvio who claims to be able to count on the support not only of Ivano Bonetti but also of Gianluca Vialli.
Even yesterday, Di Silvio reiterated “that it is only a matter of time, the money is on the way, the wait is linked to the Italian bureaucracy on the subject of banks“. And the trustee Vidal has already stated several times: «When I have evidence of the arrival of the money, I will say».
For now, nothing new. And even within the club, the focus is above all on the need to gather strength to move up the rankings. Yesterday, the Board discussed the internal reorganization. The manager of the technical areas Carlo Osti and the sporting director Daniele Faggiano they keep their roles in society but from here to the stop they will take a “step back” on the front of the presence in Bogliasco, reducing it to a minimum.
At Mugnaini, in addition to the technical staff and the team, the presence will be limited to the team manager, who is also responsible for the sports center. The goal is to leave players as quiet as possible to quickly create a positive alchemy with Stankovic and his men. On the negotiation front, on the other hand, the Board of Directors has repeatedly said that he is the responsibility of Vidal but keeps himself informed and through the official channels has made it known that he is ready, in the event of a positive outcome, to facilitate its success.
Meanwhile, the difficulties of the Samp affect the lives of its fans. They follow the Qatari-based negotiation with a different approach. «The situation is experienced too clearly – he observes Enzo Tirotta, historical exponent of the Sampdoria supporters – it is time to tone down, to reduce the distance between optimists and pessimists. It is not the skepticism of one or the illusion of the other that affects the negotiation. I have a lot of hope, if I had to bet a euro on the fact that it will be successful I would do it but I am not under the illusion because I have done it other times and then we were disappointed. After years of wicked management we must be more united in hope ».
Tirotta, however, observes that “the division is virtual, it lives on social networks and also arises from the spectacularization of the negotiation”. At the stadium, however, “there is a winning South Staircase, which after 25 years has found an extraordinary compactness, with the return of the groups at the stadium driving the Sampdoria environment. And it is a pleasure to see the passion of young people ». A supporter who also impressed Stankovic at the Dall’Ara: «Spectacular. I looked at them and I said to myself, “what an honor”, it’s not a good situation, but they are there. I can’t wait to set foot in our stadium ».
And again on social media, in recent weeks, there are those who joke about it, with memes and cartoons, from Ferrero dressed as a sheik to the “Christmas in Qatar” poster, with the faces of all the protagonists of the Sampdoria corporate situation. “If you make fun of something as serious as the existence of Sampdoria, I don’t like it – explains Tirotta – but if you joke about the negotiation it’s not a problem, both if a Sampdorian does it, and if a Genoa player does it after that for six months we showed him the Audero parade wherever he is“.
“Now – Tirotta closes – we must concentrate on the problems of the field: we have a month to put hay in the farmhouse and spend the months of rest for the World Championship with less anxiety”.
And the statement published yesterday by Ultras Tito Cucchiaroni on Facebook goes in this sense: «There is no respect from the League for our colors, there is no corporate structure capable of guiding the ship, there are no really loyal players. .. but on one thing today we do not let ourselves be caught unprepared and it’s us! We are Sampdoria… See you Monday evening, in spite of yet another postponement! ». Target Rome.
