Ilic in Sunday’s match against Udinese hopes to be able to make his Serie A debut with the Toro shirt and win over his new fans
In these days of work ahead of the match against Udinese there is a very particular atmosphere around Filadelfia, namely a mix of disappointment, anger and desire for redemption after elimination from the Italian Cup. In fact, there are many grenades who will absolutely want to take the field against the Friulians to try to raise their heads again, after that defeat which represented a bad blow for the grenades that they have to digest. But among those who absolutely want to find space in the match against the team led by Andrea Subtlean old acquaintance of Toro, there is Ivan Ilic who after making his debut in Florence wearing the Toro shirt wants to continue taking the field. The midfielder born in 2001 in recent days has seen his life change in a short time, from the interest of Toro and Marseille on him to the landing in the shadow of the Mole where he was able to embrace Ivan again Juric, the coach who was able to launch him in Verona and make him grow exponentially. Now the new number 8 of Toro wants to continue his growth path and wants to lend a hand to the grenade team aiming for increasingly important and ambitious goals, perhaps starting as early as Sunday with the tricky match against Udinese.
Ilic: the debut against Fiorentina and the shadow of Lukic
In the Coppa Italia match against Vincenzo’s team Italian the former Hellas Verona midfielder came on in the 17th minute of the second half in place of Karol Linetty and obviously he didn’t manage to do much, since he found himself catapulted into a new reality for a very few days and has yet to enter Juric’s game dictates. Certainly it will take time, but the fact that Juric and Ilic already know each other, have already worked together and there is mutual esteem between them, represents without any shadow of a doubt an excellent starting point. The Serbian player born in 2001 will want and will also have to make Sasa forget Lukic as soon as possible, proving to represent Samuele’s best possible sidekick Hedgehogs. As already mentioned, Ilic will need an initial period of acclimatization to then take flight, also because his great qualities are certainly out of the question.
