TURIN. Ivan Juric’s factory is ready to open. After a week of medical examinations, athletic tests and even exercises with the ball in Filadelfia, tomorrow Turin will leave for Santa Cristina di Val Gardena, a location in the Dolomites that for the first time will host the club of Urbano Cairo. For the Croatian coach it will be a return, he had already been with Verona a year ago. In the mountains the real preparation of the grenades will begin, which this year have the obligation not to fail again. Juric has called up 29 players to evaluate them all, but if there are no outgoing movements at this stage, the ds Vagnati is working to give the coach new additions after Berisha and the 21-year-old Danish Warming: the priority is the attacking midfielder.
The group will initially miss the two new European champions Belotti and Sirigu, as well as Linetty and Rodriguez in turn involved in the international event. And the injured Ivy. But there could be Meitè, absent in the first days for personal reasons. The French midfielder has returned to Turin and after tampons and medical examinations he will be ready to start his fourth season with the grenade: his future, however, remains uncertain.
There are four friendlies in July on the menu for Toro. Three will support them in retreat: it starts on the 18th against the amateurs of Obermais Merano and ends on the 27th against the Arabs of Al Fateh. In between, the most interesting match against Bochum freshly promoted to the Bundesliga: it will be played on 24th in Bressanone. On the 30th Torino will fly directly to France where the day after they will face the Rennes of the former Niang. In the first days of August the preparation will return to Filadelfia. In the middle of the month there is the debut in the Italian Cup, in the weekend of 21/22 it will already be championship.
