Torino-Lecce 1-0, the words of Cairo and Baroni

The impact of the substantial winter transfer market immediately bore fruit: Marianucci started, Prati solid, Kulenovic interesting, Obrador made himself discovered. All under the eyes of president Urbano Cairo who still wants to give something to his Bull. “We are working to do something more – says president Cairo -. We would like to do something more, let’s see… I don’t want to anticipate anything, because things in the market are always unpredictable, but I have a good… I really hope to add another player”. The sporting director, Gianluca Petrachi, is very active: the trajectory seems to be oriented towards the search for a second new defender and a young player to include. Meanwhile, compliments are arriving for the new arrivals, all of whom made their debut yesterday. “The new players have entered very well – continues Cairo -, like Marianucci and Prati. Even Kulenovic, who entered in a difficult moment of the match, will certainly be able to make a good contribution in the future. I’m happy”.

Cairo and the Turin market

From the market to the field, Toro started again, deserving the success against Lecce. “I saw a compact team, which played with desire and determination. It was a very important victory. A good victory – says the Granata number one -. We also had two or three important goals, with Zapata and Maripan, we could have scored an extra goal”. President Cairo underlines how it was “an important match, on a complicated day we did well by giving a good response”. Yesterday’s match could represent a starting point: “We have to work to provide continuity, that’s the important thing. Starting on Wednesday when there will be the match against Inter which is very important.” On the neutral ground of Monza, Toro will play the quarter-final of the Italian Cup. The final reflections are dedicated to coach Baroni, around whom “there has always been trust, we have always supported and helped him. Even if it doesn’t come through in the interviews, he is someone who never gives up, never gets discouraged and has the right temperament. He has the team in his hands and the players follow him, I’m happy with him: undoubtedly we have to try to do more, because the objective is to provide greater continuity”.

Baroni is satisfied with the response given by the team. “It was the answer I wanted: compactness and dedication. There was a prepared performance – he comments -, in a week in which we had to manage many injuries. The team played the match they had to play, intelligent and balanced. All they needed to do was close it out, Falcone made two incredible saves for us”. Thumbs up on the new ones: “I liked them all, they will give us a great hand.” On retiring: “We took the opportunity to grow together. It wasn’t punitive, but a moment to be together. We all felt it.” Will Simeone return to the Cup on Wednesday? “No, neither him nor the others injured because I don’t want to risk anything. We need attention, but I hope to recover a couple of players for Florence.”
