Dopo aver disputato l’ultima partita a inizio gennaio il calciatore serbo torna nei minuti finali contro la Lazio
In the first half of January of the new year, Ivan Ilic suffered an injury in training that led him to be unavailable to Vanoli’s team for what had become almost 3 months. After finally recovering from the injury that led the Serbian player to a long rehabilitation period without taking the field with both Torino and his own national team, on the last day of March, Ivan Ilic returned to the field for the final minutes of the away match against Lazio that ended in a draw after Gineitis’ goal. A possible turning point for a player who was very close to transferring to Russia but then Vanoli found himself dealing with when the deal finally fell through.
Il ritorno in campo
Entering the endgame is never easy, especially when the result is still in the balance and a single event could condition the final outcome of the game, but despite this Vanoli wanted to revive his player showing that he has full confidence in him and has regained the condition to play. For Vanoli’s class of 2001, it has been a season punctuated by several muscle ailments that led him to play less than half of the season’s matches depriving the former Venice coach of a skilled midfield performer who before the arrival of Casadei and Elmas was experiencing a difficult period.
Una stagione difficile
Despite his few appearances in the season, Ilic still managed to score once in the league in the second league game on August 25 against Atalanta and will now be motivated to find more minutes on the pitch to match last season’s numbers. With 8 games to play before the end of the championship Vanoli will finally be able to count again on an additional element for the midfield since in his team even players who come in from the bench often manage to make a difference just as happened against Baroni’s team.
