Le parole dell’allenatore del Torino Paolo Vanoli dopo il pareggio per 0-0 contro il Parma di Fabio Pecchia
Torino-Parma ended without goals. Here are Paolo Vanoli’s words to DAZN after the match: “Sometimes we lack quality, as happened to Karamoh in the first half: you have to score goals. We lacked lucidity in the goal area. We had a lot of chances, but the boys gave a very good performance. In the final we tried to do 4-2-4. The best player from them was the goalkeeper. We wanted at all costs this win that is missing at home, but this is the right way. The team is showing it.”
“For Ricci we hope nothing serious, he felt a little discomfort in his rectum: I took it out as a precaution. I hope it’s just a fatigue, now we’ll see with the tests. There are different steps in what you want to do. It was time to switch to 4, since Maripan is in condition. I like offensive soccer, towards the end this 4-2-4 could have helped us. Njie has quality but he has to learn to understand moments. Then we grew in intensity. I demand this in both phases. It is a process. But we have to become more qualitative in the scoring phase. In a game like this the 3 points must be brought home. Market? We have a history. Now there is the derby and I have to think about the field. The company is working and knows what I am looking for.”
Vanoli: la conferenza stampa dell’allenatore
You approached the game well but you often missed the last pass “We played a very good game, I am seeing a team that is starting to have my character. However, you can’t not bring home the three points after a game like that, Karamoh also played a very good game but after you jump the goalkeeper you can’t miss the pass. Until the last we tried to win but we missed the goal. I thank the fans, this year for the first time we dragged them. I’m seeing a growing team, we have to work and look forward.”
Are the 21 points in the standings true for having the team? “If we have 21 points we deserve 21 points. I don’t even look at the past. I am seeing in this month a team that played with intensity. Sometimes in these games you have to be careful not to lose but I was seeing the team in confidence and in the end I dared to put the four points.”
Do you expect before the derby any market news? “In this world here I have learned to be patient. I talked with the club already a month ago, I said what is needed. I look at tomorrow and think about the next game.”
How is Ricci? “We will evaluate him in the next few days, he says he felt discomfort but nothing. We hope it was just a precaution. Coco also had a flexor problem, he gritted his teeth until the end but he will have tests in weeks, we’ll see what they say.”
“Karamoh, who seemed to be on the sidelines at first, is now giving us so many solutions. We switched to a four-man defense because it was the right time to do it. I could not switch to the four-man defense earlier because Mariopan had to find his condition again. He had a great game tonight. Sometimes with the 4-4-2 or with the 4-2-3-1 the midfielders have to have the physicality to support the outsides.”
The negotiation for Beto seems well under way, do you expect him any time soon? “I don’t expect anything. My job is to find solutions, the company knows what is needed, I have to think about a game that is not an easy game.”
Why was Ricci’s absence felt so much in the second half? “Having another Ricci on the bench would be a luxury, we don’t have within the team a replacement. Or rather we have him but with different characteristics. The desire to score goals led us in the second half to make mistakes, we had a little less patience and a little less lucidity. We tried to push more with the full-backs.”
Can you update us on Schuurs? “He’s continuing his rehabilitation, he’s in London. We are leaving him quiet. We hope to see him by the end of the season.”
Will the Philadelphia open this week? “I will decide on that in these days.”
Paolo Vanoli, head coach of Torino FC, looks on prior to the Serie A football match between Torino FC and Parma Calcio.
