La botta alla caviglia rimediata contro il Parma lo costringe a svolgere lavoro differenziato: si prova il recupero per sabato
An entry on the ankle during the match against Parma is preventing Valentino Lazaro from being available to Vanoli, then in the group, ahead of the home match against Empoli. The offensive outfielder, for whom Torino has moreover chosen to exercise his option to renew until 2026, did separate work today – like Sanabria and Salama – unable to participate in the team’s session.
A stop at a positive time of the season, beyond the single performance against the Ducali, considering that the Austrian in the 4-2-3-1 that Toro has begun to adopt consistently since the first game of 2025 is an immovable starter.
Lazaro, un titolare inamovibile
It is a role that seems to fit him like a glove: advanced a few meters from the usual position he used to play in the 3-5-2 instead, Lazaro has been able to take full advantage, raising the level of performance. More incisive, more inside the actions, more dangerous. Increased the number of assists, so much so that he approached those of Bellanova last season: beyond a few less effective performances, he is certainly on the list of those players who with the change of system have turned around.
I complimenti di Vanoli
Vanoli certainly played an important role in this. The coach is the first to be pleased and satisfied, especially with the renewal: “I’m happy for Valentino, it’s a well-deserved extension, he did well on the field, he matured today, maybe his good fortune was our change in the module because it gave him the opportunity to play ten meters further forward. This psychologically did a lot: he was struggling less running ten meters further forward than running not ten meters further back.”
