But in a complex game like this, which came on a certainly complicated day, we managed to give a good response”.

The Torino was coming off the disastrous 6-0 on the Como pitch, a match that the coach had approached with great seriousness and awareness. “I take responsibility for this defeat – had declared on that occasion Baroni, in no uncertain terms -. I do not think about the absentees, we faced a team stronger and brighter than us, mentally and physically. After the penalty we practically walked off the field.

Baroni had, however, confirmed that he had heard from the club and had no doubts about his future on the bench, already after the terrifying knockout in Como. “I have never felt so much confidence, they even reiterated it to me”, the Torino coach had explained.

The granata have so far experienced an anonymous season in the league, but are still in contention on the Coppa Italia front, a trophy they have won five times, most recently in the 1992-93 season.
