A matter of style. Andrea Poli is close to making his 100th match in the Serie A, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport’s Sport Week, he praises his current club and explains his gratitude to the club that launched him into the big football. He also explains why he wants to stay at Sampdoria: “I was the first young acquisition that Riccardo Garrone made. Here I made my debut in Serie A and I have always enjoyed it here. This team has a style that I can recognize myself in and important moral qualities.”
Speaking of style: Did Poli get acquainted with Inter’s style even though he wasn’t bought after just one season? He avoids the question by replying: “Not deep enough to be able to respond. If I asked for an explanation as to why I wasn’t bought? No.”
How hurt were you on a scale of one to ten when you were not bought? “Ten.”
He explained: “A reason to go to Milan? I cheered for them as a child. Juventus? I like to win, but right now I’m not asking myself that question.”
Poli then talked about the famous discussion he had with José Mourinho during Sampdoria-Inter: “At one point I was subjected to a foul that was almost a penalty, the referee did not blow. The Inter bench stood up and shouted that I had thrown myself. I sign ‘no’ with the finger, a discussion started and died there. At the end of the game, I went up to him and said, ‘Mister, I swear that I do not fall on purpose.’ He hugged me and then he congratulated me in interviews for how I had played. “
