Small steps within a script yet to be written. Il Toro moves to nearby Bressanone and under the eyes of Urbano Cairo does not go beyond 0-0 with the Saudis of Al Fateh: there is a lot to define in the laboratory of a technician, Juric, who is committed to changing the group’s DNA.
The first half sees the most credible version of the grenade take the field: Sanabria is not there because a bit tired, it is Zaza’s turn to play the central role with the unprecedented pair of attacking midfielders Baselli plus Linetty. In the middle of the field, Mandragora directs the traffic, Lukic follows him with Ansaldi (captain) and Vojvoda on the outside lanes. In front of Milinkovic-Savic, Djidji takes the place of Bremer, who is now close to recovering from the sprained trauma to his left ankle. You see hints of intensity, but the textures of the Taurus come out blunt for the lack of the last touch: and Juric gets angry.
So the entire first part of the friendly test slips away, without rings if it were not for two errors in front of Mandragora and Zaza. In the second half, the whirlwind of changes transforms Juric’s boys who find themselves at the start with eleven different performers: enter Berisha, Celesia, Lyanco, Rodriguez, Rauti, Segre, Rincon, Aina, Millico, Verdi and Warming without the afternoon suffering one jolt. The friendly ends 0-0 and offers little information to the new course and, now, we will have to wait for the trip to France, in Rennes, on the agenda next Saturday to understand more of the potential of Izzo and his teammates. The race direction of the young Arianna Bazzo was applauded.
