Walter Zenga said Sampdoria beat Roma because “these lads proved they have a soul and the fans helped us.”

The Blucerchiati earned a 2-1 victory thanks to Eder’s free kick and a Kostas Manolas own goal after Mohamed Salah’s temporary equaliser.

“These lads proved they have a soul and I also have to compliment the fans, as they helped us even when we were pinned back into a corner defending ourselves. They never stopped cheering,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“Those who came off the bench did everything and more to bring home the victory. I want to remind everyone we lost Matias Silvestre after 20 minutes and had to field a back four that had never played together.

“I trust in my work, I know what I want, the squad follows me and the club gives us a lot of support. I always have faith in my players.

“Antonio Cassano came off the bench and one of his moves sparked the goal. I said yesterday that it would be an open game and we took the responsibility of adopting an attacking approach.”
