Roma and Torino faced each other in a match on the tenth day of the championship, with Roma obtaining a narrow 1-0 victory. The eve of the match was characterized by a tense atmosphere, as Roma were going through a difficult period. Juric, Torino’s coach and a great former player of the Giallorossi team, found himself having to defend his position against his old club. Paolo Vanoli, Granata coach, expressed caution towards Roma, underlining that it is a team built with the intention of achieving significant goals and composed of players capable of deciding matches on their own.

Torino were coming off an important win against Como, after a long period without success. Vanoli said he wanted to see the same determination shown in that match and highlighted the importance of not conceding goals. With the absence of striker Zapata, the coach had to review his team’s tactical strategies, recognizing that the lack of the strongest player can complicate the group’s work.

Despite Sosa’s return to the team, Vanoli expressed frustration with the situation in the infirmary and stressed the need for general improvement within the club. He said that in order to progress towards more ambitious goals, it is essential that every sector of the club works to grow together. According to the coach, Torino must first tackle the small goals, such as earning three points in every game, then aim for safety and finally dream of Europe.

Adams hasn’t scored in three consecutive games, but Vanoli seems intent on keeping him alongside Sanabria. He defended his Scottish player, saying he has never seen an athlete from Scotland fear pressure and acknowledging the qualities Adams is showing this season.

Finally, during the press conference, Vanoli wanted to express his condolences for the tragic death of the Turin skier Matilde Lorenzi on the slopes of Val Senales. He stressed the importance of showing support to the family in such a difficult moment.
