What They're Saying
Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero (via Football Italia): "Too many teams are fighting for second place. It's like being at the supermarket. We're in there too, for sure. It's not over for us as so many have said. The wheels have not come off."
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): "I probably haven't been capable of teaching them [the players] what I want 100 percent. The players are working hard and giving everything they've got."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Samuel Eto'o has enjoyed a modicum of success since joining from Everton. In seven league appearances, the 34-year-old has one goal and an average of 1.3 key passes.
