Cairo after Torino-Fiorentina: “Excellent Bull, he can go back up”

Urbano Cairo, in the post-Fiorentina era, is a president who is unable to hide the bitterness for the false result but who knows how to find the spirit needed to immediately go further, to the next challenges, and in doing so transmits positivity to the entire Granata group. It is worth underlining once again that he fought so well against a strong and ambitious rival, very committed to defending the position he leads in Europe. “I saw a Toro who did excellent things in the first half, where they deserved to be in the lead. And they also did very well in the second, in a numerical inferiority, having created a couple of scoring opportunities even with the man less, precisely A compact, cohesive team, in which everyone gave their soul… At half-time I went down to the locker room and saw the coach transmit beautiful messages. The players reacted as a great team, this makes me very happy.”

It is clear that having brought home just one point cannot generate enthusiasm: the danger, therefore, is discouragement. But the Granata patron manages to immediately recharge the environment by returning to the Toro team led by Gian Piero Ventura who landed in the Europa League. “I remember 2014. On the thirtieth matchday we had 39 points and then we scored 18 points in eight games. Today we are at the twenty-seventh, so everything is still possible and open. The team, playing in this way, can very well achieve a string of victories, I I am sure”.

And here come words that seem like caresses towards some particularly distinguished players. Starting with goalkeeper Milinkovic, capable of saying no to a malicious headed attempt by Bonaventura, the most dangerous threat created by the Viola. Cairo says: “He had done very, very well before the last two games, when he had some uncertainty. After all, if the goalkeeper makes a mistake, the mistake is more evident because he takes the goal. But everyone on the pitch makes mistakes: the attacker who doesn’t score, the defender who doesn’t avoid it, the midfielder who loses the ball which gives rise to the opponent’s goal… We all make mistakes. But we are at the thirteenth clean sheet, I think, after Inter Toro is second: well , the goalkeeper must have some merit.” It’s not just Vanya on the shields. “Good morning, he’s back very well, Djidji played very well, Masina also played very well… When we signed him, not everyone was happy, I remember some messages. And instead he’s playing great games, proving himself to be a good footballer and a fantastic locker room boy.”

daspo question

The continued support of the Granata people will be fundamental and Cairo is also working on this terrain to create a specific environment. When asked about the Daspo received from some fans, he immediately puts a barrier between the club and whoever took this measure. “We had nothing to do with it, I didn’t know anything about these Daspos, I was also sorry, I don’t even know the reason. Someone told me that they were referring to the match against Sassuolo when there was a quarter of an hour of cheering absent, let’s say… If that’s the case, then it’s a peaceful protest… I don’t want to start doing what the Police Headquarters is protesting, but I honestly don’t understand.”

Finally, how can we avoid refereeing that had a huge impact on the outcome of the match on Saturday? “Well it’s not the first… Now there’s no point in standing there commenting, we’ve seen everything. I don’t have to say anything, it’s all clear.” The words of Claudio Lotito, very angry with the referee Di Bello, were reported to the president. It seemed like it couldn’t get any worse… “But in my opinion we managed to get worse, I think. And yes because in short, among everything… Even on the disallowed goal, I saw that Zapata received incredible treatment from the defender, foul one after the other. Bah… Then, on top of that, that’s a goal that either you don’t concede, or you don’t get called by the VAR. I believe that the referee, being just one step away, either gives it or doesn’t give it But it’s not like I’m calling him from VAR. However, I don’t even want to talk about referees, honestly. I’ve talked about it other times but there’s nothing to say. I mean, by now they’ve taken a lot of points from us…”.

In Naples, Torino will have their men counted: “It’s better to be counted, but with everyone having the desire to reach the goal. Then I’m sorry for Ilic: he started with the right spirit and got hurt but it doesn’t seem like he’ll go for the long. Then Ricci was sent off. Tameze is recovering… But we have Gineitis and Linetty who have shown they are fit. Sometimes even a few do well: I’m very confident.”
