Turin, Paolo Vanoli ready for anything to dispel derby taboo
The words of Paolo Vanoli
These are the statements made, in a press conference, by Torino coach Paolo Vanoli on the eve of the derby della Mole against Juventus, scheduled for Saturday, January 11, at 6 p.m. at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
"I am ready to give everything to win a derby. It would be a dream for me to give the fans a success after so much suffering. I have understood what it means to suffer in Turin and I am trying to make my players understand what it means to wear this jersey as well. I have done this many times with videos about the history of the club and through the intervention of some former players. My goal è unite the team and take my responsibilities " began the granata coach.
"After the defeat in the first leg, I feel even more the importance of this match. On that occasion, we didn't perform like Toro. We understood that in matches like that è it is essential to understand the individual moments of the match. With Parma we interpreted the match well, but we lacked the three points. These challenges are played with a winning mentality. Winning matches like these can give the turning point. However, not è only the result is important, but also the performance" continued the former Venezia coach.
"This week I have completely closed the market chapter becauseé our concentration must be turned exclusively to Juventus. The derby è too important for us and even the president made this clear through a speech to the team. We have to find our own balance both individually and as a team. When the referee blows the whistle we will have to try to put in all our energy and hunger" added the Torino coach.
" I am not interested in watching Juventus players. The derby has its own value. Despite the two heavy absences, we know that we will be up against a very strong team that has a lot of quality on the bench. We have to take the first derby as a lesson. We are lucky enough to play in front of our home crowd and it has to be a different game. Such a match is not won only on the organizational level, but also with heart and passion" commented Paolo Vanoli.
