At the end of the match between Milan and Torino, which his team lost 2-3, the Torino coach, Marco Baroni, spoke to DAZN’s microphones.

Torino, Baroni on Zapata’s return: “He’s an exceptional guy, we need him”

Here are the statements from the former Lazio coach: “It’s not that there was confusion. We didn’t have time to make the substitution, their play restarted while we were getting ready. Right now, we’re paying dearly for these situations. But I liked the team, they played the match they were supposed to play. I told the guys that we have to keep working with conviction. On Tuesday we start again, it’s a short week and we have to remember that this is the spirit, this is the performance I asked of the team. It’s still not enough, but we’re getting close.”

“Zapata? An exceptional guy, an excellent professional, he needed to score. It took him a while to get back in shape because he was out for a long time. His numbers are incredible, he’s fundamental. This team needs the best Zapata. Now we hope to get Simeone back, another important player, and Ismajli; but I liked the team’s attitude. I’m waiting to have Simeone back, who wanted to greet his teammates, and also Ismajli. I’m convinced I’ll have them back for the next match.”
