Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I te 8 o Hanuere 2011, i whakapumautia e Sampdoria kua uru mai a Macheda ki te nama tae noa ki te mutunga o te waa
He aha? I kitea ia hei whakakapi mo te wa poto mo Antonio Cassano i wehe atu ki Milan. I tiimata a Macheda mo Sampdoria i te 9 o Hanuere i te wikitoria 2-1 i te kainga ki Roma. I te 19 o Hanuere, i eke a Macheda i tana whaainga tuatahi mo Sampdoria i tana timatanga tuatahi mo te karapu, i tana whakatuwheratanga i te kaute i roto i ta raatau Coppa Italia tie ki a Udinese. I wikitoria a Sampdoria i te 5 ki te 4 i roto i te whiu whiu i te mea kua mutu te keemu 2 ki te 2 i muri i te waa taapiri. Heoi, ko nga mahi kino a te karapu i heke ai ratou ki Serie B. I muri i to ratou heke, i kii te kaihoko a Macheda ka taea e ia te hoki ki Sampdoria, engari ko te kaitakaro ano i whakakore i te hokinga ki Itari i te tau 2011-12 ka kii ka noho tonu ia ki Manchester United.
