The words of Urbano Cairo

Torino President Urbano Cairo è was a guest on "Storie di Serie A": "It is often said that Urbano Cairo è the new Silvio Berlusconi? Well he è was a character of the highest level, but I am different from him. I learned a lot from Silvio, but each of us has our own personality. I applied many of the things he taught me, and many things we loved in the same way: TV, soccer, newspapers. I somehow went through stages that he did before. This però è random and è related to the fact that it is the same things that we enjoyed. I was better at one than he was: when I climbed RCS and also bought Corriere della Sera, he called me the next day and complimented me, telling me that I had succeeded in doing something that he would have liked to do as well but had failed to do.

"What è the highest amount of money I ve refused to retain a player? Certainly this summer he had an offer on 25 million plus bonuses and he was not sold. I dealt with it becauseé the prosecutor also wanted to understand. I met percassi from atalanta, I communicated for transparency what they were offering us, but I let the player choose. Alessansor wanted to stay and I respected his passion pe ril toro and made him stay with the’objecov to make a great cmapionship. The fans rightly have many ambitions, as do I. In soccer, it is not è so simple and trivial and you compete with teams that have very high turnovers, as I said before. I have not invested very little, on the contrary, and in fact the budgets have been going under for a few years, and this year è so è too. I do everything to do what is needed. You cannot always have costs greater than revenues, it can è happen one year, but a virtuous cycle has to be triggered so that soccer succeeds in feeding itself. This è my vision and I believe it is healthy and correct.

Ending on the match against Inter: "Let's not forget about Sanabria who had a great championship last year. It is up to the coach to decide who goes on the field, but in my opinion the pair Sanabria-Zapata canò be very interesting. For Torino-Inter I think Toro can play with them as with anyone. Juric sometimes tends to spur the players on by showing how great the opponents are, but we also need to remind ours how strong “we” are. Sometimes too much rationality doesn’t help, we have the will to win and to believe".
