Sinisa Mihajlovic both complimented and insulted Stefano Okaka after his Sampdoria strike. “He wasted seven years.”
The striker was on target with a wonderful solo effort in the 2-0 victory over Torino, showing great strength to hold off two defenders.
“Okaka is doing very well and has everything it takes to make his mark,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“He is 25 years old, physically strong and has good technique. He is a very important player for us and needs to continue like this.
“He wasted six or seven years of his career, but now his head is on straight and he can become one of the best centre-forwards in Italy.”
Manolo Gabbiadini got the other goal with a trademark free kick.
“We won this game thanks to good football and the success is deserved. Torino came here to defend and pressure us, but after breaking the deadlock they were forced to come out more and open up spaces.
“We are still in Week 2, but with this mentality we can achieve some great things and stay in the top half of the table.”
