Ciro Ferrara the Sampdoria manager is convinced that his side has what it takes to beat Fiorentina on Sunday evening
The Blucerchiati have been on a rather torrid time since the start of this Serie A season. They had lost seven consecutive matches against their Championship rivals including http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567, Atlanta and Palermo but have returned well with
two wins from the last two games. 
After having to face all these back-to-back defeats, the Samps were face down in big trouble. But sort of bounced back after securing two victories in the last two matches against Bologna and Genoa, the latter being a 3-1 triumph.
The coach Ferrara has concluded that his team in the past has been effective against bigger teams and on Sunday’s game against Fiorentina they have a serious chance of winning.
“Fiorentina are one of the teams who play the best football in Serie A, but Sampdoria have what it takes to hurt them, just as we always have done against the big clubs,” said Coach Ferrara.
A number of players from the regular starting XI for the Ligurians are still not fit enough to play. Specifically the striking ability for the side is seriously hindered as Maxi Lopez, Eder and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicola-Pozzi-c27763 are all plagued with
injury. In addition to that the defender Andrea http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 is suspended, he will also be missing the upcoming game.
Mauro Icardi the reserve striker is being held back from going back to appear for his National team because of the injury riddled side.
“Mauro Icardi wants to play with his national team and received a call from the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 Under-20 side, but we can’t let him go right now. We have to wait for the other strikers to recover first," commented the tactician.
The biggest concern for the boss is dodging relegation come the end of the season. They will be very happy to stay in the bottom ten as long as they are not relegated.
Sampdoria are on the eleventh spot in the table currently.
