From the conference room of the Olimpico Grande Torino stadium, the technician Ivan Juric anticipates the themes of tomorrow night’s challenge against Cremonese. Here are your words.
Does the game show tomorrow?“Difficult. It is a team that with Ballardini spent the round in the cup with Naples and Rome, have fast strength and attackers. It will serve patience, without exposing us to the counterfoot”.
Will the derby affect the choices
How’s Ilic?“He did a good week, but it’s not at all. Surely he improved the condition: we think about it, did not skip workouts.”.
Without Ricci, what is the right pair for the midfield?“Content of Adopo in San Siro, he took a beat in the week and resumed today. He missed the last three days of training, I don’t think I use it from the beginning. Now we will see, it depends also on the game that will be”.
How is Radonjic? “Lastly he had his chances, he played so much. I expect more, Karamoh has given a lot and now I see a little more him. He’s putting in great desire and charge.”.
Let’s make a point on the injured“Ricci is continuing very well, Pilgrims less well, Lazaro will still be long, Vlasic has had a problem today and we have to evaluate it. That’s enough if I’m not wrong. Ricci takes steps forward, I hope there is a match with Juventus, if it goes so smoothly: it was less serious than expected and maybe it could… But it’s still early, I’m optimistic. Pilgrims go slow and I don’t know, Vlasic we see tonight: he heard something, in these cases he must be very careful”.
The fans would like to come Sunday to Philadelphia a few days from the derby: What are you telling us about this? “They are welcome, it would be nice to have their charge. We have not awakened enthusiasm, we have done nothing. I thought we could get a higher awakening than we have: there is positivity, but also the feeling that there is no euphoric awakening.”.
We are talking about a physical Taurus, what do you think?“It’s a thing that goes into the eye because we go up and pick up opponents. Recently, however, we have had a domain of possession and created opportunities: the first time against Udinese and Milan we did so much. I’m sorry we can’t make this happen, so the product would be complete. There is an optimal defensive phase despite the risks, we have it in possession and we miss the last piece. This feeling is obvious, we miss the quality of shooting, cross and squares.”.
Didn’t he really expect these problems in attack? “What I asked in January was an attacker: I wanted a tip and Ilic. Without Pilgrims, we have only one attacker, Sanabria, who the other day did great and could score a couple of goals. Pellegri has shown what it might be, has power and desire, and in certain games it is indispensable: not having it, we are in a situation of serious criticality. We knew at the beginning of the year that there could be such a trend.”.
How is Aina?“I like it more right, it plays with a little more logic. There he always did good performance: can play on the left, but I prefer it on the right. I will turn him, Singo and Vojvoda, but Rodriguez can also do the fifth.”.
How come you couldn’t get to the attacker?” Now we’re focused on the field. If Pellegri kept growing, we’d be fine. We took a midfielder and lost another. These are situations that happen and go on like this, with full confidence in Tonny and then maybe you get something. In Florence the solution was Seck but it was temporary.”.
I’ve been saying this for a while: I speak sincerely, I have a fantastic group with great desire to improve. We went to San Siro with Adopo and Gineitis, you didn’t even know who were at the beginning of the season. I see great will, the team wants to do well and want the best result. Clearly we have to face a race at a time, they’re all hard and there’s never been a game. We need attention for tomorrow, they have great values and many solutions. Thinking race by race does not mean having ambitions.”.
How is the Berisha situation?“It struggles to do the second, it trains badly and is harmful this thing here. Who doesn’t train well, stay out. It is necessary to train in the right spirit: last year Berisha made a great contribution, now he has struggled to accept this situation. I’d rather you train aside and make Gemello the second. In case of emergency, it’s Taurus and we’ll see. But the situation is clear to me.”.
