Viviano takes the positives: “Our belief is growing with every game”

Emiliano Viviano believes Sampdoria’s conviction is growing all the time, despite their late defeat to Roma on Sunday.

Viviano produced a world-class performance at the Stadio Olimpico, pulling off save after save to repel Roma before Samp’s resistance was finally broken.

“We’re really gutted,” said Viviano after the match. “We’ll try to take the positives – it bodes well for the future that we’ve come here and gone toe to toe with Roma.”

Francesco Totti’s winner came from the penalty spot after a controversial call on Edin Dzeko, but Viviano was in philosophical mood when asked about the incident.

“Let’s not get too down at having lost because of a probable refereeing error. We need to keep our focus and stand up tall – the luck will even out. Our belief is growing, despite the defeat.”
