Torino soccer: the ko internal of the granata against Bologna is back to put the brakes on the path of Marco Baroni’s team, which after the victory over Verona in the opening game of 2026 has collected just three points in the remaining seven games played in Serie A. A situation that has inevitably turned the spotlight back on the Tuscan coach’s bench, all the more so after his arrival at the press microphones after the game was suspiciously late. But he himself wanted to clarify his position, at least the one that was determined on Sunday evening.

"Scandal" for Caterina Balivo: there's an uncle’s in the middle… interista
The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you have to rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

“I was late because we talked to each other”, Baroni confessed to the microphones of ‘Sky Sport’. So the Torino coach wanted to specify with whom he held this sudden summit, in the presence perhaps of president Urbano Cairo or sporting director Gianluca Petrachi. “There’was the director– he clarified -The trust in me is absolutely confirmed, but it is true that we were not up to the situation. I know it, the team knows it, certainly we need to do more. We know it and we want to do it”.

Baroni then addressed Torino&#8217s current difficulties: “Sometimes we put ourselves in a position where we are one game away from changing the situation, then we fall back into the usual mistakes. I absolutely have to solve this problem, together with the boys and the club. Needless to hide that the environmental situation does not put us in the best possible condition to express ourselves at our best, but this cannot and should not be an alibi. I pointed this out to the team as well, adding that we have two possibilities before us. Either we raise our heads and work even harder, or we lower our heads and goodbye”.

Baroni’s bench had looked shaky back in late January, when Torino lost 6-0 in Como. “I take responsibility for this defeat – said on that occasion the granata coach, bluntly -. I am not disappointed with the players, I take it on myself: I am the person who has to find solutions”. Even then, however, he clarified: “I have never felt so much confidence, they even reiterated it to me”.

It was after the victory over Lecce that Urbano Cairo himself decided to frame Baroni’s present and future. “We have always helped and supported him – said from the stadium the patron of the granata -. He never gives up already, he is a coach with the right temperament. Then the Torino players always follow him, an aspect that makes me very happy. But now we must try to give more and find more continuity of results”. The very one that, in the meantime, has not come.
