Valentino Lazaro nel 4-2-3-1 di Vanoli si è reinventato trequartista. L’austriaco è fondamentale nel gioco del Toro
In the last 5 games Torino has collected 4 draws and 1 win for a total of 7 points. Mostly thanks to Vanoli and the change of form, which came at the right time. The players now have the right head to face anyone with the right spirit. In this new 4-2-3-1, in addition to Karamoh, Valentino Lazaro has also become crucial. The Austrian is doing very well and has reinvented himself as an outside trequartista on the right, despite the fact that he is not a left-footed player who can get back on his foot. Even as a full-band outside back he was not doing badly and could play on either the right or left. His pliability and sacrifice are an integral part of this Toro.
Le partite di Lazaro
So far Lazaro has played 21 games in this Serie A, all except Torino-Bologna. 4 assists for him and 3 yellow cards. He has provided an assist in the following matches: Milan-Torino, Verona-Torino, Cagliari-Torino and Torino-Monza. He beats corner kicks and pushes hard in the offensive phase. But he also does not give up the defensive phase, which is very important. Moreover, he has undermined Pedersen’s competition in that role. But he will not be able to play every game. That is why the granata have their eyes on Fiorentina’s Ikoné.
Lazaro… sfortunato!
Lazaro lacks only one thing: a goal. But the number 20 is rather unlucky. He has yet to score in Serie A between Inter and Torino. In the 2022/2023 season, he had unlocked Torino-Sassuolo (a game that was later lost 1-0). But he was narrowly offside and after a lengthy VAR consultation the goal was disallowed. The same thing happened in Torino-Cagliari 2-0. Goal on Karamoh’s assist and jubilation. But then same epilogue: after a few minutes the goal was disallowed for offside by the Frenchman. It seems like a curse. But the goal will come soon if he continues like this, especially in that more advanced role.
