The Dutch defender said he has already scored from free-kicks and wants to improve even more
The Turin Next Monday, at 20:45 at home, he will resume his championship journey against Cremonese. Cremonese already faced in August against Zini (2-1 victory) and in December at home in a friendly (0-0). The grenades are returning from the 1-0 defeat at San Siro against Milan, where Giroud’s goal decided. If there’s one thing that Toro has been missing for some time, it’s the goal from a free-kick. The last two arrived in a rather daring way. That of Adem Ljajic with deviation of the barrier in Genoa against Genoa (game lost 2-1 in the 2016/2017 season). That of Simone Verdi instead with a mistake by goalkeeper Da Costa (more his own goal than Verdi’s goal) in the Turin-Bologna 1-1 of the 2020/2021 season.
Schuurs: a perfect candidate
The number 3 of Turin, Perr Schuurs, is a perfect candidate to take free-kicks. In fact, in a recent interview, he said he knows how to beat them and wants to improve. In one season, in the youth teams of Fortune Sittard, he even scored 6. The coach always told him: “Kick, kick!” and he hit the corner. Then in the first team he scored 3 and also one at Ajax. In Turin he only beat one, in Empoli, which however ended up high. The Dutchman is a candidate to be one of the batsmen, now that Lukic is no longer in the squad, confirming what good he has shown even in the offensive phase. In fact, again in the interview, the player admitted that he was a striker before him, this confirming his usual forays into the opposing area. Just look at the goal in the Italian Cup against Cittadella, for example. The goal from a direct free kick has been missing for too long, who knows if he might be the one to break the deadlock.
