What They're Saying

Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner (via Football Italia): "Last year, they [Sampdoria] did very well. They're a team with many strong players. We can't underestimate them because their strikers are very strong and fast. Also in midfield and at the back they're a very strong, solid team. Then there's the Coach [Mihajlovic], who I like very much."

Sampdoria midfielder Luca Rizzo (via Football Italia): "You must never give up. You must always keep believing. When you know you've given everything, then you should be proud of yourself."
