Walter Mazzarri heart is divided but on Sunday he won’t make any concessions to his former team Sampdoria. Ahead of the game on Sunday, Inter’s coach admitted his feelings for Sampdoria in an interview in today’s Il Secolo XIX: “I spent nearly two years in the magnificent Bogliasco, I have strong ties to the environment, to the club, to the fans. I have emotional memories of how Roma’s Curva Sud was colored in blucerchiatos colors in the Italian Cup final. The two seasons I spent in Sampdoria were exciting, we played well and achieved important goals. With a little luck, we would have won more.”
After thinking back to the time in Sampdoria he reverted back to his role as Inter coach: “Don’t ask me not to play with Palacio. I will not only play with him, I will ask him to do everything to win. Inter is my present and I have brought my professionalism here. Today, I am an opponent , even if it feels strange.”
After that Mazzarri received a question about the incident last season involving Claudio Nitti who spied on Genoas training, which was held behind closed doors before Genoa’s meeting with Napoli: “Actually, it’s I who should look for all those who come to Appiano Gentile to spy on Inter’s training sessions, I can no longer do it behind closed doors! All clubs are using this method, the difference is that we are quieter than others.”
Finally, a word about the game on Sunday and the new coach for Sampdoria, Sinisa Mihajlovic: “So far I’ve seen a little, I’ll study him more carefully these days. The team seems to already be in good shape when you look at the players and now with Mihajlovic the team will have more fighting spirit. After a change of trainer there is always a reaction and for us it’s the worst time to meet them.”
