Rolando Vieira is having such a good period for Sampdoria, that his previous critics are coming out to apologise.
Moving to the Genoa club from Leeds United in summer 2018, there were big hopes around the youngster, but it didn’t take long for things to start to unravel.
There were fitness issues and other problems, and during his time with Samp, Vieira has been involved in loan moves to Verona and Torino.
Both those loans included options to buy, and neither club went through with it. A return to Leeds United was rumoured to be a possibility on several occasions, and there were even claims around a failed transfer to Sheffield United.
Andrea Pirlo is manager at the Serie B side and he’s found a system to get the most out of the former Leeds United player, who was ‘never so good’ since his time at Elland Road.
He’s played 11 games in a row, starting the last six, and things are finally looking up for the 25-year-old, thanks to ‘Pirlo’s trust’ and work the player is doing to prevent injuries.
