Giampaolo Pazzini: I Never Considered Leaving Sampdoria
Giampaolo Pazzini is content to stay at Sampdoria and never contemplated leaving the club...
By Adam Scime
"I never thought of leaving Sampdoria and no one ever proposed anything to me," he explained to gazzetta.it.
"It seems that you can change your team's shirt any moment, but I was always tranquil."
The former Fiorentina player scored 19 goals last season to help his side finish in fourth place, but admits that might be a step too far in 2010-11.
"For Sampdoria it will be more difficult this season to reach fourth place, because we play every three days and our opponents are stronger than last year. But we have nothing to lose and will do our best."
The 26-year-old is currently on international duty with Italy ahead of their Euro 2012 qualifiers against Estonia and Faroe Islands. For his comments on the national team click here.
