Today is the turn of Enrico Marcoz, ansa journalist and Toro fan. Enrico launches a provocation on Turin’s immediate future …


Suffering is in the DNA of every grenade fan. But the agony we have been witnessing for some months is perhaps too much. Unmotivated team, technically embarrassing and blocked by the worm of fear. On the causes so far hypothesized – from the non-payment of the Europa League prize to the wrong choices of the transfer market – I cannot express myself because I do not live in that locker room. Of course, the last few games have highlighted the football’s paucity of this group that struggles towards salvation. Salvation still achievable only thanks to those few points accumulated in the first phase of the season.

And then? The prospects, absurdly, are even worse than reality. A new DS has arrived and Moretti has been promoted to team manager. But on the next season the shadows are more than the lights. The team, of course, is to be redone. To be preserved as a ‘protected species’ Sirigu and Belotti, but it will not be easy. In defense Nkoulou and Izzo have their suitcases ready, the midfield is to be rebuilt as well as the attack (offensive infertility proves it). Aina, Zaza and Verdi on the market are worth a quarter of what we spent on taking them. Certainly the company, already struggling with the Covid emergency, will not put wagons of millions on the table. Rather. The DS will have to act with low cost prospective exchanges and purchases. The risk is to find us in September with the same team devoid of the strongest, supported by some long-time ex Spal (see Fares) and destined to be the Cinderella of the tournament. A strong risk.

So maybe it’s better to go back already this year and start rebuilding immediately. Yes, go back to B. Among other things, if Cairo wanted to sell – as many fans hope – the club would be much more attractive in the cadet series. At that point you could start from scratch or almost, with a group that knows how to restore enthusiasm to the square depressed by the ugliness seen this season. We have already done it in the past and we can do it again. Maybe I write it out of superstition, maybe out of anger, maybe I’m starting to believe it a bit ”.
