The climate around the team is still heated by the post-Superga controversies, yet Toro has never been so close to Europe. A huge success came to the Bentegodi, “stolen” as Juric defined it and probably not deserved, but despite everything there is still hope for the cups. While waiting for Fiorentina, who will challenge Monza this evening in the Monday postponement, Zapata and his teammates have arrived at -1 from Napoli in eighth, the position that takes them to Europe without having to worry about the results of the European finals of Atalanta and Viola. Everything is sensationally open, therefore, even if in the last two days Toro will face two big names like Milan and Dea in Bergamo.
Meanwhile, Juric can finally enjoy a comeback, the substitutes and the youth of the Primavera, all in one fell swoop. In fact, it had been two years since his Toro team had been able to completely overturn a deficit, plus the signatures came from two who had started on the bench: Pellegri hadn’t scored since May 2023, then there’s the pride for the Savva’s first goal. The Cypriot, born in 2005, had the debut that everyone dreams of, complete with the equalizer in Verona. And, on the doubling action, there was the hand of Dellavalle, another very young debutant from 2004, protagonist of a millimetric game change for Lazaro, the third substitute who was decisive with two assists. “We put them in because they guaranteed desire and enthusiasm, while I didn’t like whoever was on the pitch” explained Juric on the changes with the small bulls. And now there are two more days to continue dreaming, even if the atmosphere with the fans remains at an all-time low. “Players without dignity, mirror of this club. Via Cairo and the ungrateful people from our city” read the banner in the visitors’ corner: on Saturday the team will have the last home match of the season, there is curiosity to see what the reception will be. Also because it would be a shame not to attempt the latest assault on Europe together, despite the serious events that occurred on the bus in Superga.
