TURIN, ITALY – DECEMBER 20: Simone Verdi of Torino celebrates with Ricardo Rodríguez and his teammates after scoring his team’s first goal during the Serie A match between Torino FC and Bologna FC at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on December 20, 2020 in Turin, Italy. Italy’s sports stadiums remain under strict restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, as the government’s social distancing laws prohibit fans within venues, causing games to be played behind closed doors.

The draw with Bologna increases the already substantial statistics of lost points in the advantage situation that seems to characterize Giampaolo’s Turin. Now, the question, in my opinion, is the following: but what is Giampaolo’s Torino? In the sense that if this team has those endemic flaws because the coach’s hand and work make it play like that, well, then I wouldn’t think for another minute to exempt it. If, on the contrary, it is not about “Giampaolo’s Turin”, but about “Turin made available to Giampaolo”, that is to say, a pool of players unsuitable for the coach’s ideas and with a hot locker room situation, daughter of last season’s dynamic unresolved in the summer of management, so the coach has no specific “fouls” other than continuing to get “slapped” on behalf of a nabob’s salary. In both cases, Giulianova’s coach appears to be the classic wrong person in the wrong place.

Yours sincerely, I regret to bow to the dictation of football that an exonerated coach demands, even if the faults of his poor results must be shared with clubs and players: punish one because he cannot punish himself (society) and cannot fire all the other (players) is unfair, but it seems that this is the way things work in this world … The emblem of Turin in the game against Bologna, and by extension, therefore, the emblem of Toro’s current problems, is the Meité’s way of approaching the game, when he takes over from Gojak: To enter “badly” and concentrated, the Frenchman begins to trot across the pitch with a truly unacceptable indolence for any professional in any series in the world of football. And unfortunately this is Giampaolo’s fault: “Damn you and whoever makes you play,” Ciccio Graziani shouted ironically at one of his players in the Cervia era in that famous soccer reality show. The same note could, then, transfer Giampaolo: whoever plays is his direct responsibility, as is the attitude that his players put on the field because he is the son of what he is capable of transmitting. There is no match in a match in which the same coach asks for “blood, if necessary” on the eve of the match: it means that the coach cannot manage communication with his players or that Meité, unable to give that which he cannot give (competitive evil), should not be played. In both cases, in fact, a serious error by the technician, unfortunately.

We all agree that Toro’s problems are upstream, that is, in a cold and rational management that Cairo is paradoxically irrational of the company, just as almost all of us agree that the coach is a good person and that is giving it all. in his work, but in the end, we fans are interested that Toro does not go to B, it is what we care about, and that is why we hope that those who make the decisions do so in this perspective. If you need to exempt Giampaolo to avoid B, do so. If you need someone who’s less of a philosopher and less of a teacher to avoid going to B, but makes these guys poke out the eyes of a tiger, take that someone and give him carte blanche to “sweep” the locker room properly. Unfortunately, at this moment we do not need a coach to tell us that in a few months the team is going to play well, because there is no time: we want someone who makes the Meité vary from this Bull to 110%, who also kicks them in the sit down if necessary, but make them go out on the field wanting to divide the world, to put together four passes (not four hundred …) made decently and above all, with a knife between their teeth, they always make sure to score a goal less than opponents. Let’s put aside the beautiful game itself and the philosophy of football: you can be “beautiful” even by doing simple and concrete things. If all this Giampaolo is going to be able to do it (and I’m not sure…), continue with him, if he can’t find someone who knows how to manage the team with this simple but clear objective. All this obviously aware that the market will have to be done in January. And also good. At this point we cannot give in and it is the key, regardless of whether Giampaolo will stay or not, of the fate of this unfortunate season.
