Now we can easily clear the word “crisis” for Taurus, on the other hand the Granatas have entered a negative vortex for more than a month and are no longer emerging from it. Or rather, they tried to show off their snout by winning against Como, a narrow and painful 1-0 against a team that only managed one point in the whole of October, while before and after there were always more or less heavy defeats. Now we have reached six defeats in the last seven outings between the championship and the Italian Cup, the streak is starting to be damn long and incredibly worrying. Because, in one way or another, Taurus continues to lose and above all shows steps backwards every day. In defense or attack, wherever you pull it, the blanket gets shorter: until three weeks ago the Granata conceded three goals per game but at least they scored, now they have scored one goal in the last 270 minutes but the trend is still negative. In one case or another, however, the result has almost always been the same since September 24th, that is, defeat.
Vanoli is looking for solutions, he had also tried the four-man defense with some insistence but for now he continues on the path of 3-5-2. “The goal we conceded is conceded with both fours and threes, the head is the most important thing and now we have to be men and roll up our sleeves” he underlined on yet another defensive blunder. Masina combined several, it came from Linetty’s mistake in the capital and yesterday it was Maripan’s turn to give his opponents a goal. And now? On the horizon there is an appointment which, until some time ago was the most awaited one of the year and with the date to be circled in red, has now become a nightmare. On Saturday there is the derby against Juve, it always has a certain effect to reread President Cairo’s statistics against his cousins: 30 derbies, 23 defeats, six draws and one victory in 2015, with the balance sheet completed by 15 goals scored and even 54 suffered. It almost seems like a team destined for the gallows, even if Vanoli tries to play the “wild card” of the fans. “Opening Philadelphia could be a good idea” he announced in view of the next training sessions, with a session that will be organized with people in the stands of the headquarters. The coach is really trying everything to get out of the crisis.
