Le parole di Paolo Vanoli, allenatore del Torino, dopo la sconfitta per 2-0 in casa del suo Torino contro l’Inter
Paolo Vanoli spoke to DAZN microphones at the end of Torino-Inter 2-0. These are his words, “We were bothered by Zalewski’s position blocking our full-back, we were struggling to press the fifth, then we corrected it during the match. In the second half the idea was to have Lazaro follow the fifth. Fullback on Zalewski and Vlasic on Bastoni. This did not allow us to be aggressive against a team good at dribbling. With countermeasures we found our chances, Martinez made a great save.”
Vanoli then added, “Spirit and courage, that’s what I asked of the guys and the guys showed it. If you reopen these games, you keep them open until the end. We took risks, but that was what I asked for. If you leave the ball of the game to these teams then it is difficult to get the ball. Definitely with the company we continue to talk about it, to improve our roster. This is a new cycle that needs to be improved. The jersey we wear has to be honored and this, compared to the first half against Venice, we understood.”
Vanoli also talked about the market: “We will look for those elements to improve not only the offensive phase, but also the defensive phase. Compared to last year the goals taken are more, in front we scored more goals.”
Then on the Scudetto race: “Napoli and Inter? Two great teams playing for something important. I am very attentive to the youth sector, when they deserve it is right that they have space, keeping their feet on the ground. Cacciamani made his debut tonight. Perciun, Dembelé, Gineitis also who is 2004, the young people are there and I watch them.”

How do you evaluate this game? “When you lose there is always regret but you have to look at the performance. It was a completely different game from the one against Venice, today we struggled to go for them high, to find countermeasures. Zalewski in that position made it difficult for us. We were naive on the first goal, Gineitis should not have let him two meters after a swerve. We had a good chance with Adams and Martinez made a great save. In the second half I asked the team to have courage, it was a risk I wanted to take. I think Masina’s goal, which I didn’t understand why it was cancelled, we deserved it, also because we had two chances as well with Vlasic. In the second half we had to be a bit more balanced in going for second balls but I saw the spirit I wanted.”
What did you think when Milinkovic Savic made the foul? “That Dimarco put in a great ball. We were a bit naive not to read the depth, I would like to see the episode again to see if it was a clear penalty.”
“We knew we were meeting a great team despite the absences. I am sorry for the result but sometimes you have to look at the performance, this performance has to be a continuity ahead of the next game. We have to look at ourselves and then see how many points we score.”
Can a burst of energy come from the younger guys? “It would be a defeat to put a young person in because he has to give us energy. I put a young person because I follow the youth sector and because they deserve it. In a league you can have defections and go for the youngsters. I am sorry that Njie is not there in this final championship because we could have gained experience. I am happy for Cacciamani because he deserved this debut but he is still so young and should not fool himself. Perciun since this summer has been doing well and he needs to keep it up. The guys who are below need to see a great team.”
Going back, would you change the module by putting an extra midfielder? “No, I wanted to raise the center of gravity by going to press teams. It’s normal that when you do this then you find yourself maybe man against man, at the beginning we paid for this climbing even though Gineitis was blown up too easily. Then we lacked some balance on second balls.”
Do you feel happy in Turin? “I am proud and very easy. I am charged despite the fact that the season did not go as we hoped. This step backward I am convinced is needed to take two steps forward in the next season. I am very charged for the future. If this is the spirit, being able to finish the championship with pride is a good starting point. Then with the technical director and president we have to work hard to improve the team.”
Then Vanoli added, “I want to wish the best of luck to our two fans. We don’t have any news yet, we know two fell, one recovered immediately, the other we were told was alert.”
Paolo Vanoli, head coach of Torino FC, looks on prior to the Serie A football match between Torino FC and Venezia FC.
