Sampdoria in C, Massimo Ferrero turns the knife back on itself

Sampdoria has been relegated to Serie C, and twisting the knife in the wound was Massimo Ferrero. The left the club in a way that was anything but serene and decided to rage in the most delicate hours in the history of the Genoa-based club.

Coinciding with the match with Juve Stabia, which later proved to be decisive for Sampdoria’s relegation, Ferrero was intercepted by some fans who engaged him in an impromptu interview later circulated swirling on the web. And it was here that the ‘Viperetta’ addressed words that were anything but comforting to those who cherish the Blucerchiati colors.

“What should I say to the Juve Stabia fans? What do you want? You are already saved”, Ferrero began. Then instead, pressed on Sampdoria, he rehashed: “If you lose well serves you. There will be a reason”. The defeat then did not come, but the 0-0 was enough to make Doriana relegation official.

On Wednesday, the club taken full responsibility for what happened, admitting that it had made some fatal mistakes and promising that Sampdoria will be at the center of a project that envisages its rebirth, no matter how complex it may appear. In the darkest hours from its foundation, however, there also came a message that was anything but supportive from Ferrero. And that certainly adds to the anger and frustration of a blucerchiata Genoa already shaken to the core.
