Dembelé, starter after 3 months, doesn’t waste opportunity

Il Torino si prepara per la trasferta a Lecce. Vanoli ha fatto il punto sulle assenze in vista del prossimo match. Ecco i convocati granata

Among the doubts on the eve of the match, there was a strong uncertainty about who would fill the role of right defensive outfielder after Walukiewicz’s recent subdued performance. Vanoli wanted to reinvent Torino’s lineup against a not easy opponent, Inter, still in the race to win the Champions League and to try to overtake Napoli in the Scudetto fight. After more than 3 months since the last time, the Granata coach wanted to give a starting chance to Dembelé, who after a forgettable debut from the 1′ after being sent off against Fiorentina managed to return among the starting 11 men and play a good game against Inter.

Against Inzaghi’s team, the Frenchman managed to replace his last starting performance leaving the memory of a good game played in front of the Torino fans. In Sunday’s challenge, Inter’s most dangerous actions were developed in the opposite sector of the field to his own, while Biraghi seemed to have a lot of trouble stemming combinations between Darmian and Correa, the Frenchman born in 2004 showed an effective defensive solidity that allowed him to foil breakthrough attempts from his side of the field. With Lazaro’s recovery, Dembelè was able to contribute to Torino’s offensive attempts with several proactive spurts, born from combinations with the Austrian, and although the Granata suffered from Inter’s solidity, Vanoli can reap positives from the good performance of his young player who could find even more minutes on the pitch after this latest outing.

Lecce-Torino, i convocati di Vanoli

In his 1st season in Torino’s first team, Dembelè returned from loan at Venezia knowing that he could be employed by Vanoli as a possible asset to be exploited in the game in progress or to be used in case of lack of performers, proving that at the beginning of the season he was not considered among the most credited starters. Throughout the year, however, he worked hard to be available to the team, so much so that he earned 2 starting games and 13 total appearances in which he managed to find the net once against Udinese. After this latest performance, Vanoli might decide to give Dembelè more minutes to try to make him grow as a player and allow him to stay in a confident condition.
