Three goals against Milan and the European dream still alive. In between, a great performance from Buongiorno, the usual goal from Zapata and a left-footed shot from outside by Ricardo Rodriguez to seal a perfect day. A Saturday evening full of great applause for Torino president Urbano Cairo, who after the 3-1 against the Rossoneri spoke like this about the match, Pellegri’s performance and above all the next match against Gasperini’s Atalanta: “It was a good victory. It must be said that we scored three goals against teams like Atalanta, Napoli and Milan.”

Cairo also spoke about Pellegri, the protagonist of a great performance: “After the goal scored against Verona two days ago, he came to his senses. This evening I saw him very well, he was super motivated, he also did a great move. I’m happy. Then we are ahead of Napoli…”. The last line is on Fiorentina, Conference League finalist against Olympiacos. A possible Italian success against the Greeks – combined with Fiorentina’s eighth place and Torino’s ninth place – would allow the Granata to realize their European dream: “If we now have to support Viola? – concluded Cairo -, of course. We are twinned “.

And again: “If I had to give a title to this day, I would say “a special day”. Regarding the individuals I can say that Rodriguez scored a great goal, his first with Torino, but the whole team played well. Ilic too: he scored a goal like a real player, because on that occasion you miss it six or seven times out of ten. You have to be able to give strength and place the ball, which he did, he angled it.” Chapter Zapata: “He’s in the fourth best season of his career. I’m very happy, he doesn’t hold back, I like him a lot. Just like Linetty, he played well: Zapata’s goal came from an opening on Rodriguez. A perfect touch.” Cairo also spoke about Ricci: “Him at the European Championship? It’s not an impossible dream. In the last few games he has had incredible growth. Then this evening Milan’s midfield was very well equipped. And tonight Bellanova also returned to his level. Then It’s clear that you can’t always play at your best, but today he resumed at a great level. Finally, Milinkovic-Savic also made great saves, for example, which wasn’t trivial.
