Sampdoria Signing Ferretti Determined To Prove Cardiff Wrong

New Sampdoria signing Andreas Ferretti is determined to prove Cardiff City wrong.

Ferretti was recommended to Cardiff by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, but had his contract ripped up in April after failing to make a first team impact.

After two weeks trialling with Samp, the 20 year-old was handed a four-year contract and told the South Wales Echo: "I like Cardiff but I was frustrated with the lack of opportunities I had at the club, I never had one starting place in the two years I was at City.

"I know I could have done a job at Cardiff. Any player will tell you that they need a decent run in the side, three or four games at least, but that was not the case."

Ferretti, who made 13 first-team appearances for the Championship side, continued to say he still hoped to return to the British game at some point in the future.

"I want to come back to the British game some day," he said.

"I know I have the technique to make it.

"Given time I would like to have made an impression, but now my career is with Sampdoria and I will do my best here."
