Le parole di Paolo Vanoli, allenatore del Torino, al termine della sfida contro il Como nell’intervista post partita
Second defeat of 2025 for Torino, the first in two months. The granata were beaten 1-0 by Cesc Fabregas’ Como with a goal from Douvikas. After the match, Paolo Vanoli spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport: “I missed a goal cancelled like that. Too bad, because I think we are angry but for a good performance and we did not deserve to lose. We should have been more cynical, we wasted so much today.”
On the match he said, “You can always do something more, let’s not forget today’s chances. We had several chances and we were not concrete, but I told the team that we had to give a good performance. Everyone seemed to be on the ball until the end, if I have to make a negative note it is on the goal because we left one man alone. In Serie A the details make the difference.”

On the goal conceded: “We can’t take a goal like that, with a defense lined up. We have to keep the man inside the area, since we put ourselves in 4 we have the habit of marking the zone. Otherwise we came here because we wanted the three points, we didn’t succeed but we created a lot. The team approached well compared to Verona, they played and I think these are positive defeats that should make us look at the other games with badness and determination.”
“This team has the will to the end to be on the ball all the time, I see it even during practice. We have a big responsibility to our profession, the fans and our growth. Goals can be found in many ways, today the team showed and we have to keep working on this because our future is also at stake.”
To Dazn he added: “We are disappointed, we wanted the three points, we made a continuous performance, it is the match with more chances, we were not lucid and cynical, we were always in the game. Even in the final: it means we are there as a tightness. We have to raise the bar, with work and sacrifice we came out of it, we are showing it, we showed it today especially in the final, this is what I like. After that there is defeat and we have to be angry.” On the double touch: “I didn’t notice, I was turned and I saw Ilic’s shot, it was bad luck.”

How many pieces are missing for the future? “I am not looking at the future but at the present, because we have a big responsibility to the fans. We suffered, but in the end we showed desire not to lose.”
Did he say goodbye to Fabregas? “I was lucky enough to coach him, he is having a good turnaround. They spent a lot and well, taking functional players in the market. We, however, did with work and sacrifice a good game.”
Can Elmas stay? “It’s not up to me but up to the club. We said we were good in the January market to get functional players. Today his was a less polished performance, but that is physiological. However, he is a footballer who is always capable of creating an interesting situation in the match.”
How do you rate the performance? “We are fine, it was the best game from the point of view of chances created but I must say that we had to be more lucid under the goal. We lacked this, however, it is the right way. We have an obligation to honor the jersey and grow, we must always look for the game and continue on this path.”
From one round to the next, in what has Toro grown? “Both we and Como in the first round were two different teams. They continued on this idea of play by inserting quality players, while we were in a period of difficulty and after that we came out of it. The guys have to understand that only by working can these performances be made, so we have to keep the accelerator pressed.”
