Lazaro points to derby: Toro needs his crosses

Valentino Lazaro del Torino punta il derby. Ai granata servono la sua velocità e i suoi cross per fare gol alla Juve

The day of the derby della Mole is getting closer and closer. Torino-Juventus is played on Saturday, and it is never a trivial match. Given the results of the last 20 years, certainly Toro is an underdog on paper in a match that has become haunted. But the derby always remains the derby and Juve is not in a good moment. Paolo Vanoli studies the best lineup to field from the start. Valentino Lazaro hopes to be a starter. The Austrian is aiming for the derby. The Granata need his crosses and speed to get unblocked in the goal zone. The number 20 is pawing. After a good showing against Parma, he wants to make an impact.

La sua situazione

Lazaro’s particular situation, which needs to be well analyzed. Pedersen and Lazaro were taken in the summer. One to play on the right in place of Bellanova and the other on the left. But the two months later have not yet clicked and convinced. So Torino’s first 13 Serie A games, Lazaro played all of them as a starter (except Torino-Fiorentina). 4 assists in these 13 games. Hands down one of the best on the field in the early season. But then this happens: Torino-Napoli, Genoa-Torino and Empoli-Torino from the bench (substitute). Torino-Bologna: 90 minutes on the bench. Then Udinese-Torino again benched and subbed. Against Parma, after 5 games, he finally started as a starter. On the three-quarter, in Vanoli’s new 4-2-3-1 on the right. He came close to assisting Adams and shelled out a lot on offense. But then at 65′ he came off to make way for Pedersen. Stymied, he kicked a small bottle. Pedersen then missed an incredible amount of plays. Can Taurus really do without Lazaro right now?

Le parole di Vanoli

Lazaro, as well as Vojvoda, can play either on the right or left and is reliable. Vanoli had commented on benching him this way, “When you have a roster like that you take advantage of the players available. I’ve played fifth and I know what that means, it’s a role where you have to have alternatives, doing the whole wing you can’t allow it all the time so it’s right to look at the players available.” But then the rest games became five. For goodness sake, he always came on the field in the second half, but Pedersen and Sosa didn’t do any better than him, on the contrary….

Valentino Lazaro of Torino FC is challenged by Emanuele Valeri of Parma Calcio during the Serie A football match between Torino FC and Parma Calcio.
