Sampdoria chief Marotta defends Cassano after outburst

Sampdoria chief Beppe Marotta has come out in support of firebrand Antonio Cassano.

After their draw with his former club Bari, Cassano sparked outrage when declaring: “Maybe somebody has become a little too accustomed to eating Nutella and instead has to eat a little ****.”

Protecting his player, who was booed by Samp fans, Marotta concluded by saying: “They are understandable declarations.”
