Due to the particular situation that has arisen, Fiorentina-Torino was the first test in which it was somehow possible to understand where the team that Marco Giampaolo is building is at. In fact, so far only three friendlies had been played, the last of which was on September 5, and none of them was reliable proof of the number of absences. The first championship game, the appointment for which a two-month job is usually scheduled in the summer, this time was the first opportunity to meet the team. In front of them, there was a more experienced and higher quality team. That he deservedly won.
But, on the side of the grenade, something has been seen. Positive too: in the first half, as long as the legs were supported, Torino tried to play with ball possession and high defense, with the will to lead the pace of the game or try to do so. Nothing momentous, of course, but Giampaolo has to start over from the rubble of a failed year and no one has a magic wand. Only taking all this into account can we say that in the first half we saw a team following the coach, who tries to do what is asked of them. There are positive comments on this.
We have also seen, however, that at least two key players are missing from the starting XI if you want to be certain that you really forget about the difficulties of last season. A manager and a second striker of a good level to make a quiet championship. This is visible to all and the company’s statements to the contrary on this point can hardly be considered more than a mere tactic. The transfer market session closes on October 5: grenade fans are waiting impatiently, as does Giampaolo
