There is Turin-Frosinone, a fundamental stage of a championship finale that sees Torino still hanging on to the goal of qualifying for the European cups. The challenge against the Ciociari becomes crucial given the subsequent calendar of the Granata, expected from the matches with Inter, Milan, Bologna And Atalanta in the last five games.
But Ivan Juric warns everyone: the match against Di Francesco’s gialloblù will be very difficult. «They are coming off important and deserved draws against great teams – said the Granata coach in the press conference the day before -. They have many talented players and know how to create dangerous situations.”
Frosinone are third from last, they haven’t won for three months and are the only Serie A team without an away win, but they have scored two blunders away from the Stirpe in the Italian Cup, of which one right in the Toro house, eliminated in the round of 32 by Soulè and his teammates at the end of a match affected by refereeing errors. Furthermore, the Juric gang was unable to beat Frosinone even in the championship (0-0 in the first leg at the Stirpe stadium).
They will be there at the stadium over 22 thousand granata fans: «The team deserved this support – says Juric -. We haven’t missed a match in months, the performances have always been good even when the victories didn’t come. Now, however, we need goals, we need to be ruthless in the episodes, because it’s time to score points. We are close to the European area, we want to give great joy to the fans.”
On the nursing front, there are doubts Sazonov And Savvain addition to the injured Gineitis, Djidji And Schuurs: «They have tendon problems, in Philadelphia the pitch is a bit too hard», says Juric. Ilic will be the starter in midfield: «We are almost obliged given the disqualification of Ricci. The other solution would be to raise Tameze in midfield, but it’s more natural to focus on Ivan: he’s well and has trained normally, we’ll see how much autonomy he has.” In attack, Okereke pitfall Sanabria: «I expect a few more goals from Tonny. He made the last two from the bench”, is the coach’s comment.
