Championship eve for Torinoexpected tomorrow from the match against Bologna. After the four points and two clean sheets away between Genoa and Empoli, the Granata return to play in front of their fans for the last time in 2024. The coach Paolo Vanoli in the press conference he took stock of the team: “How is the team? Good. Like every week there are some small defections, we hope to have calmer weeks in the future. Sosa had a virus but has recovered, Ricci also had a problem but everything else should be fine.”
And Ilic? “He’s fine, he’s part of the group. He must be ready and available to help the team. He has important qualities, like Vlasic, but in football qualities are an end in themselves. You have to put yourself ahead of the team, you have to put the team before yourself “.
How do you see Bologna?
“Nice match against an important team. In Verona I played together with Italiano, he deserves where he is because he has principles. It’s an intense and aggressive team, we shouldn’t make mistakes in the first build-up because they transform mistakes into scoring opportunities. We have to stay in the game and develop our ideas”
Was Empoli the turning point?
“When you go through periods without victories you lose a bit of self-esteem. But in these two months we’ve been good at keeping our heads on the ball and moving forward with ideas: I’ve been seeing growth for three weeks, the victory in Empoli is the crowning achievement. But we haven’t done anything, it’s a long journey. We’ve experienced two moments: a first beautiful one that thrilled us, then a total crisis. Now we’re looking for balance with our feet on the ground.”
