At the home of the new Italian champions and on the day of the championship celebration, Toro needs a great feat like this to emerge from Inter’s den unscathed. “They deservedly won the title and I congratulate them, we will have to put in a great performance” were the words of Ivan Juric on the eve of the lunch match at San Siro. However, the Granata’s pursuit of Europe came to a sudden halt with the 0-0 home draw against Frosinone: “I was very disappointed, I don’t want to see anything like that anymore – the coach’s harsh criticism of his players – and already in Milan I want my Toro back: from the first match against the Nerazzurri onwards we haven’t made any mistakes and even when we lost I still enjoyed the performances, in the next five I want to see my team again.” Also because, after Inter, Toro will have to face Bologna, Milan and Atalanta, in addition to Verona: “We will face the strongest teams in Italy, but I hope we can compete with everyone” Juric’s response on the rush final that awaits the grenade.
Ricci will return to midfield after his suspension while Ilic will end up on the bench: “Tameze could play in the middle, he deserves to return to his role” anticipates the coach, ‘rejecting’ the Serbian after the subpar performance given against Frosinone. In attack, Sanabria is eager to join Zapata: “Tonny did well, he was also unlucky between posts and great saves – says Juric on the Paraguayan – and now I expect a lot from him: in fact, there are several players from whom I expect more , especially in front of goal because not many have scored.” There is still some doubt, however, on the left-handed lane: Vojvoda can play as a winger but also as a winger, the other solution is represented by the return of Masina with Rodriguez raised on the midfielders’ line.
