Carlo Osti, Sampdoria sporting director, was interviewed by TeleNord and talked about the penalty awarded to Roma and the match in general. These are his words:
“We could have gone home one point, but that’s not the problem: I am very reassured by how the team approached the match. There were two different matches within the match: Totti created this difference, both in the technical sense and the environment in the stadium. A draw still would have been a more fair result. There has to be calmness and we should not go and create problems, even in a case like this where we have been wronged. We should not feel sorry for ourselves.”
He continued, “I think Roma had an excellent match, I am very happy with the way the match was addressed: it was the most difficult match of the first three we have had because Roma has important objectives in a difficult season. We had a good match in the first half but dropped off in the second.”
