Baptista says:
“It was a great night for us, as we needed the three points” Baptista declared in the interview with Sky.
“From my perspective the most important thing is to help the team, and to do what the coach asks.
“I played a different role tonight, and thanks to my team mates I think that I have helped the club, which pleases me,” he added.
“We are well positioned at this stage, but it all depends on us.
“We are aiming for fourth place, and so all we can do is keep winning and see what happens from there.
“The secret is to train every day for 20 minutes, and just focus on the little things that will lead us to victory,” he concluded.”

Spal says
Tonight was important in terms of our rise up the table,” Spalletti declared in the interview.
“Prior to the contest I knew that my players were switched on, and I could see that they were set for a big game tonight,” he added.
“Baptista? He is a great player that can play anywhere I ask him to. He is physically very strong, and has proven to be an excellent addition to our squad.
“[Rodrigo] Taddei? He no longer has the ability to play 90 minutes, as his legs do not allow him to, however he did do very well tonight.
“[David] Pizarro? He was certainly amongst our best in this match, especially when running with the ball.
“Artur? He proved tonight that in the rare circumstances when we will require his services, he will be able to give us his all,” Spalletti concluded

The worst player on the pitch was Perrotta, his ball trapping is ridiculously bad.

Well, we could get those kind of ratings if we played Samp every week. I didn’t see the whole game, but during the part I saw, we were just pinging the ball around all over the place without Samp having much to say about it.

Goal.com’s player ratings were ridiculous.. Must have been one hell of a game.

Baptista and DDR with 8/10
Pizarro, Aquilani, Cicinho and Brighi with 7/10
Juan, Panucci, Artur and Perrotta with 6.5/10
Cassetti, Riise and Taddei had a 6/10

The average is 6.77 which is quite high. Nobody had a average game let alone a bad one.

Man, Baptista was a BEAST

whole team played well.
good to see pizza man play well and cici and aqui get some confidence back.
i think aqui should be able to hopefully slot into perrotta’s place this weekend as he is suspended now.

So, do you guys think Brighi has become a no brainer starter? has he fulfilled his potential? will he contitnue to play next season or will he be sold?
