Mazzarri Hopes Luck Is On His Side Against Inter


Mazzarri is hoping that more than just technical ability will be on the Blucerchiati’s side as they face a rampant Nerazzurri who are keen to get their Serie A campaign off to a flying start.

The coach knows it will be tough to break down the champions but he is hoping that lady luck will be smiling on his players.

“To obtain a positive result against Inter or teams of the same level, everything must go well,” explained the former Reggina coach.

“The players must perform above average, the episodes must come our way and their champions must not be at their best.

“Luckily we shall play at the Marassi in front of our own crowd, which for me is the twelfth men on the pitch.

“If we were at San Siro, we would have had more difficulty, but instead at Marassi we could give something more.”

Sampdoria enjoyed a successful campaign last season as Mazzarri's arrival from Reggina breathed new life into the team. Antonio Cassano is also raring to go and the former Real Madrid man will be keen to get off the mark against the club he supported as a boy.
