Torino’s first opponent in 2023 will be Hellas Verona, a team currently in bottom place in the standings
Qatar’s commitment finished, friendlies finished during the break, it’s finally time for the championship and in two days, January 4 at 14.30, the return to the field is set for the grenades. Appointment at the Stadio Grande Torino, where Toro will face homeHellas Verona. The team of Ivan Yuric he did well in these 4 friendlies, where he achieved 2 draws (1-1 with Almeria and 0-0 with Cremonese), and 2 victories (1-0 with Espanyol and 4-1 with Monza). For now, the Venetian season it was a real disaster. Last position in the standings with only 5 points, 15 less than last season, where Di Francesco and then Tudor were the coaches.
The season of the rossoblùs: from Cioffi to Bocchetti
Cioffi has been chosen this year, but has already been replaced by Bocchetti who has racked up 6 defeats in a row. Only one win, 2 draws and 12 defeats, with 12 goals scored and 29 conceded. Even the new coach has his hours numbered, and therefore the match against Toro will be fundamental, one more reason to raise the bar of attention and not be surprised by the grenades.
From Juric to Verdi
Many good memories for Juric at Verona, a team he coached for two years with excellent results and the explosion of talents such as Amrabat, Tameze, Rrhamani and Pessina. As for the players however, there is one who wants to try to raise himself and he is Simone Verdi. Still owned by Torino, after being sent on loan to Salernitana in the second half of last season, he is now at Verona, to find minutes, form and above all the games he has always lacked in the granata. Mazzarri, Longo, Gianpaolo, Nicola and Juric: none of these have ever managed to bring out the talent of the most expensively paid player in the history of Torino, but the future can always reveal surprises.
