Sampdoria coach Marco Giampaolo was ecstatic after his side’s 2-0 win in the Derby della Lanterna. “Fabio Quagliarella teaches me and not the other way around”.
Gregoire Defrel opened the scoring in the first half before Quagliarella netted his 21st Serie A goal of the season from the penalty spot and Giampaolo sang his praises.
“We have so many good players I find it hard to select a team. Whoever plays more often deserves it because they are of above average quality,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“Take Quagliarella as an example. It isn’t what I can teach him, more what he can teach me. Just watching him makes you learn something new".
Giampaolo beat Sven Goran-Eriksson's record for going unbeaten in the derby by making it four wins and two draws since he took over.
