Turin, we cannot continue like this: we need a change on the bench

Editorial / The signs that have arrived in recent weeks are not at all encouraging: Turin needs a decisive turning point

One wonders if, Belotti and some others aside, in the Turin dressing room someone has taken a look at the classification recently, if everyone has understood that the risk of relegation to Serie B is more than concrete. Legitimate doubts after seeing Meité in the 1-0 partial, just entered the field and therefore full of energy, fall to the ground after a normal contrast with Vignato in the trocar and, instead of getting up immediately and trying to recover that lost ball, stays for 4/5 seconds he crouched down to watch how the offensive action of Bologna continued. He calmly ran to the edge of the area, only to lose the insertion in the area of ​​Soriano who knew how to serve Svanberg a golden ball. What the French had is certainly not the attitude of those who are aware of having to play to death to take home three gold points to get closer to fourth and last place, if it is the attitude of those who have been playing the field for a long time . I shouldn’t see it.

Meité is the symbol of Torino that goes to the bottom, but he was certainly not the only one who took the field with Bologna with a superficial attitude, like a match between singles and married couples. The list of insufficient and those who did not seem to play with the knife between their teeth is long and also includes new purchases such as Linetty and Rodríguez. Turin against Bologna, as had already happened against Udinese (with Roma it is not that things have gone better, at least until the Giallorossi have kept the level of attention high, although there is the mitigating numerical inferiority), has sent not encouraging signs, much worse than the final results suggest. Giampaolo is not primarily responsible for this mess, because last summer it became clear to everyone (apparently except Cairo and the grenade managers) that the team would have to be remade rather than just change the sides, but now, to try Saving what can be saved and avoiding relegation, a change is also necessary on a technical level: a new coach who knows how to shake up and revitalize the team. I’m sorry for Giampaolo, but the signals from the field don’t bode well for the future. Unless there is a change.
