Sometimes they come back. And they do it with a bang. It’s the story of Valentino Lazaro who was once an extraordinary wonder boy, son of the Salzburg version of Red Bull ante litteram, who then failed to keep the premises and promises of a child prodigy. Great things happen at Herta Berlin, then his love with Inter doesn’t blossom and he begins the search for roots that he fails to plant between Newcastle, Borussia Monchengladbach, Benfica and then Turin himself. Here too, ups and downs, then the arrival of Paolo Vanoli. And life changing.
The essential Lazaro
He got up and started running, Lazaro. Always, however, without stopping. It is the essential of the new Torino coach: always on the pitch in Serie A in eight games, four for ninety minutes, one for eighty-eight, one for eighty-three, one for sixty-three, one for sixty-two. Of the outfield players, he is the most deployed from the start and with those against Milan, Hellas Verona and the last against Cagliari, he already has three assists. And then the Italian Cup: two matches both played in full. Numbers that confirm the thesis.
New life as a leader
The playing time, the assists, even the judgements. “He has reached three assists in this championship, and it has only just begun. The former Inter winger draws from the flag for Sanabria’s winning header at the end of the first half. His crosses are always poisonous”, the latest report from Tuttomercatoweb. com about the player. Lazaro is establishing himself, race after race, as one of the cornerstones of the Granata project. A ‘silent’ shot that is proving to be a guarantee for Vanoli.
