Samuele Ricci exalted by a former Torino: “Crucial.”

Samuele Ricci has won over the Torino environment, and his rise is evidenced by the data: with him on the field, the granata’s points average is 2.33 per game, without him it plummets to 0.5. Massimo Loviso said, “Ricci has quality, has geometry and is a true playmaker. With time I have seen him grow from the point of view of personality.”

“What surprised me was how he matured as a man in the heart of the field,” he continued to Toronews.net. “From the numbers there is no escape. His role is central and crucial. If a coach decides to play with a playmaker, the dynamics of a team change. I wish him all the best because, in my opinion, he has great potential and is a valuable pawn.”

The former Torino midfielder continued, “You have to balance things in a system of play. Mandragora has more physical gifts than Ricci, Pobega guaranteed you a lot of quantity. However, I think that when you have clear game concepts, when you know where you have to send the ball you gain a lot and the collective improves. In short, Torino’s midfield looks well-matched to me again this year. Linetty knows soccer. However, there are times in a footballer’s career when things don’t turn around. I am glad that a player like him has worked in a certain way and as a professional has returned to churn out performances on his level.”

“For me, Torino was a step of growth. I’ve always said with friends and family that I was sorry to play there very little because I had three years on my contract and in the end I wore the granata jersey one scarce year. The experience at Torino remains central. I met an important fan base. I was fortunate enough to play for Bologna and Torino: they are two very valuable jerseys,” Loviso lamented.
