GENOA – Marco Giampaolo admitted that the contest against the Nerazzurri this evening is a tough one to call in his pre-match press conference yesterday.
"I don't know what to expect from Inter," said the Sampdoria coach. "They have an amazing squad but they're a 'crazy' team as their own fans say"
Giampaolo also offered his thoughts on Frank de Boer's progress as Inter coach: "De Boer understands the game and is a quick learner even though he's come from another league. He has a fantastic team to work with but at the end of the day coaches are judged by results."
Asked about his possible line-up, the Italian said: "I hope to have Praet available although he's got a bit of a niggle."
Giampaolo released his squad for the game this morning.
Goalkeepers: Krapikas, Puggioni, Tozzo.
Defenders: Amuzie, Krajnc, Pereira, Regini, Sala, Silvestre, Skriniar.
Midfielders: Alvarez, Barreto, Cigarini, Djuricic, Eramo, Fernandes, Linetty, Praet, Torreira.
Attackers: Budimir, Muriel, Quagliarella, Schick.
