The Friulani began their campaign by fighting back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Parma, so will want to build on that team spirit.
“We worked on several different tactics, including two strikers, a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. It is important to find the right balance,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“Juan Musso is in good shape and he is certainly a possibility to play in goal. We’ve got to think about ourselves as a unit rather than individuals. It’s a very young team and it wasn’t easy to come back from 2-0 down, so I am happy with the way the lads reacted.”
Sampdoria are making their season debut, as the Week 1 fixture with Fiorentina was rescheduled for September 19 as a mark of respect following the Ponte Morandi collapse in Genoa.
“I very much admired the way Samp played last term and they reminded me of Juventus. Marco Giampaolo is a Coach who works hard on training ground routines, is versatile and difficult to face.”
Emanuel Badu, Svante Ingelsson and Andrija Balic are on the treatment table.
Udinese squad for Sampdoria: Nicola, Musso, Scuffet; Ekong, Nuytinck, Opoku, Pezzella, Samir, Stryger, Ter Avest, Wague; Barak, Behrami, D'Alessandro, De Paul, Fofana, Mandragora, Pontisso; Lasagna, Machis, Pussetto, Teodorczyk, Vizeu
