– Turin

The good news comes early in the morning. And Ivan Juric serves it to the first answer in the conference on the eve of Turin-Spezia, scheduled for tomorrow at 3 pm at the Olympic Grande Torino stadium. “Mandragora is ready, he’s fine: I think he’ll play from the start tomorrow.” Having fully recovered the captain of the future, however, the Bull will most likely have to renounce the power of Tommaso Pobega. “I think he will be missing instead, his ankle (left) is improving but he is not ready for tomorrow yet”. Tomorrow Toro plays a new stage in this grand finale of the championship, launched with the victory of Salerno and continued with the excellent draws against Milan and Lazio. The goal is to take back a home win that has been missing since 10 January. “But be careful – Juric warns – because Spezia is full of talents. Thiago has created an excellent team: it will be a difficult match because they will play for the result ”.

High level

–

He is satisfied, Juric, with the level of growth his Taurus has achieved throughout his first year. He does not hide it when he returns to analyze Rome’s draw against Lazio on Easter Saturday. “The team played a high level game, interpreting it with personality and ball possession. We have made progress in the domain of the game. I’m only sorry for the result, but especially for the guys who deserve other things because of the way they are working ”. From him Toro of him then broadens the horizon of reflection, signing a consideration on the level of our championship. “I liked Serie A a lot this year. Because there are many coaches who, in various ways, go towards the path of dominating the games, without wanting to speculate. For example, there is our style of play that comes from Gasp, but there are also other styles, such as that of Italian, which starting from a back four have the same mentality of wanting to go and take the game. This is what happens abroad, especially in Germany. The championship was not excellent, because the top players play in the Premier League, but it was good and interesting ”.

Doubt Pellegri-Sanabria

For Belotti he hopes that he will be available again for the last three challenges of the championship. “It will be difficult to have him back on the pitch in the next three games (Spezia, Atalanta and Empoli), but after that I think we’ll see him again.” Praet is already on the squad for tomorrow’s match against Spezia: “Praet is on the bench, he is improving”. Berisha will play in goal again: “Berisha is doing well, so he’s playing at the moment, but Vanya also did a long and excellent period. The goalkeeper of the future? We haven’t thought about it yet ”. Many compliments for Ricci: “he must become a complete midfielder: good management of the ball and vision of the game, he must improve a lot in other things. He questioned himself, he is working hard. I am satisfied: now he has to raise the level “. And praise also for Seck: “I’m very happy with him, I want to give him opportunities in the next matches. He too is making steps forward, now I want confirmation in the matches “. On Aina he says that “he has recovered from when he returned from the Africa Cup, now I can choose again between him and Singo”. The finale is dedicated to the great doubt of the eve: who will be the center forward of Toro tomorrow? “It’s my doubt, between Pellegri and Sanabria. Pelle has restarted from the abc, because in Monaco he has lost many years due to his injuries. But he is working like a madman to forge ahead. Sanabria, on the other hand, did very well during the week: I will decide at the last moment ”.
