Sampdoria striker Fabio Quagliarella admits “looking back” his goal against Napoli was his best, but it involved “a good percentage of luck”.
The veteran scored a stunning backheel goal against his former side, but said after the match he’d only put it in his top three strikes.
“Even if I didn’t want to see it again, I get tagged in it on social media!” Quagliarella smiled, speaking at the Memorial Scirea.
Sampdoria striker Fabio Quagliarella admits “looking back” his goal against Napoli was his best, but it involved “a good percentage of luck”.
The veteran scored a stunning backheel goal against his former side, but said after the match he’d only put it in his top three strikes.
“Even if I didn’t want to see it again, I get tagged in it on social media!” Quagliarella smiled, speaking at the Memorial Scirea.
“Looking back I’d say yes, it was the most beautiful. I was almost standing still, it was a moment of lucid madness.
“On those kind of shots you need a good percentage of luck. You either have it in you to try that kind of thing or you don’t, strikers live on instinct.
“I’ve had a lot of messages from Naples, but they’re all compliments and amazement.”
Quagliarella is a former Juventus striker, and while he scored that, record signing Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to find the back of the net.
“He’s scored the most beautiful goals, he doesn’t need a backheel like mine. I admire him very much.”
