Verso la partita contro l’Atalanta di sabato sera. Al fianco di Ricci a centrocampo c’è un ballottaggio a 3 per una maglia dall’inizio
After 5 consecutive useful results (4 draws and 1 win), Torino prepares to take the field for the 23rd day of Serie A. The opponent is tough and springs from a historic rivalry: Atalanta. It will be played Saturday night at 6 p.m. at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. It will not be easy, against the team 3rd in the standings and qualified for the Champions League playoffs, to snatch points for Toro. Heading into this match, Vanoli reasons about the midfield. In fact, a three-way ballot is underway. In truth, more specifically, two and not three at least from the start. In the left central midfielder position, alongside Samuele Ricci, a choice will have to be made.
In 3 per un posto
Alongside Ricci, who will play on the right side, 3 are vying for a place. They are Gvidas Gineitis, Adrien Tameze, and Karol Linetty. Linetty is currently behind in the pecking order. So the two biggest candidates are really Gineitis and Tameze. The former, a Lithuanian class of 2004, is the only left-footed player available. He scored the equalizing goal in Florence but started from the bench against Fiorentina and Cagliari in the last two. In his place Tameze, who did very well and was convincing, started as a starter. Despite the little space he had in the first part of the season, he proved to be on the ball and reliable.
Ricci non si tocca, Linetty rischia un’altra panchina
Ricci is Torino’s captain and is untouched in the middle of the field, although he will have to be careful not to get a caution as he is cautioned. So far he has played every game as a starter but will miss one sooner or later. If Gineitis and Tameze are on the launching pad, Ilic and Linetty are losing altitude. Ilic is injured without considering that Spartak Moscow is pressing him. Linetty, on the other hand, has lost his captain’s armband; moreover, his contract is expiring in June. He will not renew and will say goodbye on a zero-parameter basis. But Vanoli, until the end of the championship, needs everyone to do well.
