Raoul Bellanova ha lasciato incredibilmente il Torino in estate. Adesso all’Atalanta gioca e fa bene e affronterà i granata
Against Atalanta, Torino is looking for continuity. In fact, the 6th consecutive useful result could come. But it will not be easy against the 3rd force in our Serie A. Ahead of this match, there is a special observer: Raoul Bellanova. For the first time, the class of 2000 faces his former team, his past. The player incredibly left Toro in the summer for 25 million euros. Even without the knowledge of Vanoli himself. With Juric he had had a record-breaking season with 37 games played, 1 goal and 7 assists. No one better than him, so much so that he went to the European Championship with Italy.
Al top anche con Gasperini
The player is fit and doing very well. It was almost a given, given the strength of the guy, his physical condition and the fact that Gasperini’s game is very similar to Juric’s. In the Champions League he played 6 out of 6 games with 1 assist and 1 yellow card. In Serie A, on the other hand, 1 game and 1 assist with Toro. Then with Dea 20 games with 6 assists and 2 yellow cards. Bellanova plays on the right, while on the left is Ruggieri. Then there is also Zappacosta, who can play on both sides.
La contestazione non si è più fermata
His divestment was very significant. After Buongiorno’s, Bellanova’s on the last day of the market enraged fans. But not against the player, against the club. Specifically against president Urbano Cairo. A few days after the transfer, the 2nd day of Serie A pitted Torino and Atalanta against each other. Gasperini did not summon Bellanova, to protect him. Before the match, there was a big protest against Cairo, complete with a procession attended by over 15000 people (almost an entire stadium). From there on, the protest did not stop. In fact, it has been growing in the city.
