Benavento-Torino was Torino’s first match with new coach David Nicola Defensive phase, Which in my opinion emanates more from the grenade has great aggression on the opponent’s ball carrier throughout the game. Nicola’s players have only been “not reduced” 3 times compared to the average of 20-25 in previous games. The defense was always careful on the enemy’s long balls, but was always careful to come out on top of the man who got between the lines. Another very important fact: the opponent who enters from behind is almost never lost. Throughout the game, Torino hit a high header, a second goal and three shots.

Another positive fact Attack phase Technical and decision-making errors in particular: in previous games they were over 50, this time they did not exceed 20. As for the game, a lot of verticality was demanded on the strikers encountered (in more than ten Pelotti and Zaza, this is a completely new and very positive fact). This hole allowed the Torino to gain meters in the opposite metacombo, keeping the opposing defense low, and allowing outside players to insert the tip into the trailer. However, when Zaza always comes back down, Pelotti unloads a little, goes back and gets hit by small drops or misses the ball (see actions in 5.30-32.10-39.37-45.32-46.56 minutes). Instead of trying to drip properly, Pelotti sometimes has to try one-two with Jasa (34.37 minutes). However, what Pelotti achieves in 57.31 minutes is unbelievable: the ball bounces back towards the goal, jumping quickly with only one and two opponents, and starts a superb shot that saves Montebe.

Let’s look at the starting process in detail Infusion: Action Ansaldi in 4.27 minutes Crucifixion, Zaza Tower, ball blocked by defense; In 16.10 minutes Ansaldi sends Lucik to Pelotti who dies and pitches Jaza to Pelotti; In 20.35 minutes another beautiful combination of Iso-Lukik-Singo and Lukik, going back to the cross, was intercepted; In 24.22 minutes after Cingo joined Luke, he found Jasa to shoot from the edge of the area and the shot was saved; Rodriguez pits for Zaza to send Pelotti in 50.19 minutes, Pelotti’s shot is blocked, the ball sends Cingo, Cross and Jasa’s head 2 to 1. Many of these actions have freed a team player for the cross, considering corners and cross kicks: 24 balls were bowled in Part 5 in this match, which ended in a shot, such as a shot on Cingo’s flight (54.21 minutes), 74.42 minutes by Zasa’s shot or 88.22 minutes. Zaza’s volleyball on the cross.

However, there are many more things related to this Game Automatic. From Iso on the right, when he started the action with Cingo Largo, Lucik was mostly in Zaza’s pass line (minutes 33.48-34.29-69.59); Or when Cingo had the ball, Luigi cut into the band, but Zaza never came or entered the place where Luigi (22.06-22.38 minutes) left. Even in the opposite section, with the ball in Ansaldi or Rodriguez, both Linetti and Pelotti made little movement, and Ansaldi often found himself playing in one (22.52-38-35 minutes). There were many more long balls when the opponent’s defense was low and the ball was intercepted (11 times). On the other hand, at other times, the launcher or low ball for the space striker was requested in the most appropriate way, with the opposite defense high (see actions in minutes 1.17-6.20-22.24-61.00 -61.26- 74.42). Above all, you can find and review the perfect pass to Sasa for the Pelotti draw in 92.14 minutes.

Generally, Torino put in an excellent high pressure throughout the game, which led to several dangerous results, i.e. when Jaza beat the ball in 25.44 minutes: an excellent save for Montebe. In total, Torino has shot 10 times. In short, there were positive signs in the defensive phase and in the construction of the game. Now we have to give continuity and be very cynical in the implementation phase.

As the second manager and athletic coach at Torino FC for over 30 years and with the indelible memory of being promoted to Serie A in June 2005 with Zagarelli and Bikino, I am improving the field, video analysis and more every day working on the qualities and circumstances of each player. Not integrated. Study football with the right tools and everything will become clear and simple.
