Hello, everybody.

Let me introduce myself quickly.

I am a Sampdoria supporte who has followed Chelsea for many years also because I think that only in the Premier League is football played.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned there was always a thread that united the two teams...the most important one was certainly Luca Vialli.

But many players and coaches who played and loved Doria, played and loved the Blues. The latest in chronological order is Enzo Maresca

Last year I was in London (the city I fell in love with) and stayed in South Kensington and so I was able to go and see Stamford Bridge at least from outside, and buy something at the megastore.

I plan to go back soon and maybe be able to watch, with a lot of lucky, a match for "our" Chelsea.

Obviously at the moment I will write little and read (and above all learn) a lot.

Sorry for my modest English.

Eugenio

Welcome! What’s your favourite potato based dish?

Welcome, Eugenio!

The forum welcomes everyone.... Well, other than Tottenham and A**x!

The word legend gets said a lot these days for many, but only some have that real legend status! Luca is one of those!

Welcome to the forum bud!

I was lucky enough to see Il Doria back in 2020 under (another Chelsea connection) Ranieri, we were in the away end at Torino for a 3-1 win, Gaston Ramirez double if I remember correctly. Hopefully fortunes turn around soon in the league!

Wouldn’t apologise at all for your English mate, it’s a lot better than most of our Italian is (and some of our English tbh)

Welcome Eugenio. I saw Sampdoria a few times as I worked in Genoa for about 8 months (25 years ago now). Was working Marconi. Assume its still there given Genoa's long history with Marconi.

Welcome to the forum Eugenio.

Benvenuto Eugenio

I don't know if it's the right answer but certainly one of my favorite dishes is "fish and chips".

Thank you for your kind words and for your good wishes...in this moment Sampdoria needs right now! (Half time: Sampdoria -Mantova 0-0)

Of course Marconi SpA is a very well-known company connected to Genova (sorry but I can't write Genova in English...😇). Anyway I have never lived in Genova for long periods. My parents were from there, so were all my relatives. I was born in Sicily and now live in a town of central Italy.

Thank you Mod also for the kind words about Luca. This is s a well-known but beautiful video from last January that explains our bond better than many words www.chelseafc.com/en/video/gianluc...legend%E2%80%A6

Benvenuto a bordo! Sono più o meno a metà strada tra Arezzo e Cortona.

Bella regione. A proposito di patate: il fish and chips non conta. Devi dichiarare la tua patatina preferita. E preparati al ridicolo!

Can I wait a few months before answering, only to realize what is the mood here? 😇

If not, I appeal to the Fifth Amendment...which I'm not sure what it describes, but in movies it sounds good...

Meanwhile...
