Nicola: “My Taurus just has to free his head and believe it”

At the end of the match, a few minutes after Zaza’s winning goal against Sassuolo, all of Turin rallied around Davide Nicola. A ritual that the grenades always repeat, but usually with less enthusiasm. This comeback is historic (it had not happened in 38 years) and the coach can only be satisfied: “A daring game? Yes, because of how it went, although the first half was a bit cowardly with the two goals. Consiglio doing wrong He had already made important saves, we managed to take possession of the ball from Sassuolo, which is generally his weapon. The point is that this team needs to believe more in the qualities it has and that can only be done by throwing the ball. heart over the obstacle and even taking risks. If you don’t risk in a calculated way, it becomes difficult to win games. I am especially happy for the boys because preparing a game like this in practically a day and a half and then watching them Implementing what was studied is important: in the first half you did it with less conviction, in the second you hit hard and did better. We have to seek balance especially in the interpretation of the game, but we already have the right. mentality. “

Head and tactic

Even tactically Nicola sees the team turning in the right direction: “Today the game was well played, we did not put ourselves in a position just to defend or attack depth, we implemented more strategies and showed that it is possible to take the ball. Outside Sassuolo, 20 shots on goal and especially to overcome a game like this, with the 0-2 at the end of the first half in my opinion also undeserved ”. That’s why he talks about the environment: “From time to time we hurt ourselves, this environment wants its team to always do well, but I have arrived at a particular moment and I have to make it clear that I cannot be a slave to whatever it is. turn around, otherwise we will never grow. Today I saw a team that in the second half finally tried to get rid of issues that we do not need to improve. We have to continue like this. “

Zaza and the others

Chapter Zaza, who entered the second half and decisive result: “For me and Torino it is very important, it is when he plays the 90 minutes and also when he enters. Simone is not only important when she scores a double, but always. 8 games, I know its value well. The truth is that for me they are all fundamental. I am happy for Belotti, his performance was generous, arriving within twenty days of the Covid is not a joke. We need to get everyone back as soon as possible. possible. “.
