THE EVE
Torino's goal is to regain seventh place, which could be worth next year's Conference League.
"Let's think about one match at a time - said coach Ivan Juric on the eve of the match against Cremonese - but that doesn't mean we don't have ambitions. On the contrary, we want to do our best: the team can grow, we're doing well in defense and possession but we lack in offensive concreteness".
In fact, the goals scored are just 22 in 22 days, only eight in ten matches against Grande Torino: "In January - the Croatian reveals - I asked for Ilic and another striker, he didn't arrive and now in extreme cases we'll come up with something but we have great confidence in Sanabria, while Pellegri's return is proceeding slowly".
Speaking of the situation in the infirmary, Vlasic is also not at his best:
"He felt a little pain and in these cases you have to be very careful, we will evaluate it" explains Juric, ready to launch Karamoh together with Miranchuk behind Sanabria.
There will also be some changes in the midfield: "Ilic - - announces the coach - has done the whole week of training and is much better, now I'll decide how to use him while Adopo took a blow to his knee and recovered only today".
The Serbian ex Verona can make his debut as owner, Linetty is eager to support him in midfield, then no calculations in view of the derby: "No, it will not influence my choices" says Juric bluntly, suggesting that Aina and Schuurs , both in warning and at risk for Juventus on Tuesday 28 February, will start from the beginning.
And precisely because of the derby against there could be an important return: "Ricci is much better, I'm optimistic but we'll see" announces the coach.
Also because first we have to think about Cremonese: "It will be difficult, in the cup they eliminated Rome and Naples and we will need a lot of patience, without exposing ourselves to counterattacks" so Juric warns his side from bringing up the bottom of the standings, still without victories in championship.
