It was the sweetest night for Toro in almost half a century. In fact, it had been 47 years since the Granata had gone to sleep alone at the top of the standings. Zapata and his teammates managed to do it, with Vanoli as the orchestra conductor. And in Verona they found the offensive verve that was lost for one Sunday against Lecce, with the three forwards Sanabria, Zapata and Adams scoring at the same time. The 3-2 at the Bentegodi is another sign of the vanolism that is entering the world of Toro and of Toro that is finally trying to take flight. The Paraguayan has found himself after a muted start to the season, the captain continues to be a driving force and in the aerial game is increasingly without rivals, the Scotsman is settling in great under the Mole and in Serie A: Vanoli finally has alternatives up front and it shows.
“I am lucky to have four strong, good forwards, I like to play with two strikers and I have the possibility to alternate them, they were very good: Sanabria has the quality of a finisher, he helps us connect with the midfield, Karamoh attacks more in depth” the words of the coach to pamper his entire offensive department. And then there is that ranking that has not been this good for almost half a century: “We play for the fans, they must dream, we must work, keep our feet on the ground: we have another important match, a team like Toro must also think about the Coppa Italia” explained the coach. In the meantime, however, the Granata are enjoying themselves and making others enjoy themselves: up there, in front of everyone, waiting for the rest of the Serie A matchday. And at the Filadelfia they are already preparing for the next match, with Empoli who will show up at the Grande Torino on Tuesday evening in the round of 32 of the cup.
