The Bull falls for a moment in the nervousness of the beginning of the season, even if the head is turned to the future. Thus the presentation of the match against Bologna begins with another small embarrassment when the fresh words of Urbano Cairo report to Ivan Juric. The patron says he is happy with the technician with whom he has a frank relationship, also because “I prefer to be told things when you can intervene on the market, instead of complaining later”.
The Croatian, however, does not take all the compliments and replies straight away, reminding the property “that he did nothing of what he thought of in the summer, because in general my goal was completely different: my idea was not accepted and there is none. was going to do it. ”
An unexpected prologue, but which lasted only a few seconds. Head to the field: tomorrow the former Mihajlovic’s group will arrive at the Grande Torino and Verona in the next round. A great opportunity to seize for a team that has expressed its potential at home and now needs points to give some color to its path. Juric knows this and starts in fourth place. Encouraging his own to grow further. «Thinking about the recent past, sometimes it seems they are content with competing well – says the Croatian -, but that’s not enough anymore. We need to start collecting the points: this is the qualitative leap I hope for. We need to be more aware ».
Toro so far has had many opportunities to turn, but the last 180 minutes against Empoli and Cagliari are enough to sum them up: two challenges ahead, two unexpected comebacks, four points burned. What do you need for a team that has shown that they have the game and the means to make it? «We need a different anger, another competitive malice – Juric’s recipe -, because the chances pass, we left several points along the way, but it’s not a question of bad luck. In January? The transfer market takes place in the summer, nothing will happen: this is my team, I’m very satisfied with who I train, it’s up to me to fix everything ».
The added value will have to be given by the players with the highest quality of the squad, starting from an attack that is still too tied to the ghost of Belotti. «Sanabria and Zaza have a great opportunity to prove that they are from Toro, they take it – the coach charges them -. They too must put more wickedness: in the next 4 games, including the Italian Cup, they will all have their chances. While Pjaca has to find continuity, he hasn’t been able to do it for many years. In Cagliari I saw him do some important things, maybe soon they will become more: he can improve a lot. The couple with Brekalo? I have the feeling that both of them are better off on the left ».
