Giampaolo: “Juventus a big test”

Sampdoria’s undeserved defeat to Atalanta is now in the past and Marco Giampaolo’s squad are ready to dust themselves down and move on. They’ll have a chance to make amends tomorrow at 20:45 CEST when they take on Juventus in Serie A Matchday 2.

Coach Giampaolo spoke ahead of the clash, and here’s some of what he had to say:

“It’ll be a tough but not impossible game. I hope that the team can always perform well regardless of who we’re up against.

“Juventus are a top team, and their mental strength actually surpasses their current footballing output. They’ll be missing a few players but they’ll be a tough proposition in any case.

“We’ll need to be at our best as we were against Atalanta in order to stand a chance of coming away with a positive result.”
