Sampdoria, Sabiri: “At first I didn’t understand anything”
Abdelhamid Sabiri, attacking midfielder of Sampdoria, spoke to the microphones of Secolo XIX, dealing with various topics. The former Ascoli player talked about his relationship with Giampaolo and his first difficulties when he arrived in Genoa. Here are the words of the player Doriano:
On the next season:
“Notoriety? For me personally it hasn’t changed much. Clearly on the street in Genoa people recognize me much more, many ask me for photographs or selfies but that goal at Genoa, that moment is part of my past. The derby is part of the last championship. I’m used to focusing on the future, on the next steps in my career ”.
About Marco Giampaolo:
“At first, I hardly understood what he was saying. But now she “pinches”, “clean the ball” I know, when she tells me “make her sing” I know that there are short, precise, fast passes to be made. It is not true that first of all he takes care of the defensive phase, he is not a coach who aims for 0-0. I like his football ideas, avoiding long balls, always trying to play ball and chain. It’s fun for a footballer. And for me, due to my characteristics, with this idea it is easier to fit into Sampdoria ”.
About the role:
“I like mezzala, even if I am perhaps more of an attacking midfielder in terms of quality. However, I like to be often involved in the game, to touch the ball many times, and the mezzala of one of Giampaolo’s team has this possibility. In addition, if our other half-winger has more defensive characteristics, like Rincon, he allows me when the game phases allow him to push me forward anyway. I think I could score some goals even as a midfielder ”.
