Torino, Baroni: Zapata could start, why he missed Lecce | OneFootball

A few days before the match between Torino and Milan, the Granata coach, Marco Baroni, spoke to the press during the usual pre-match conference, where he addressed the situation regarding Duvan Zapata’s condition.

Torino, Baroni on Zapata: “He could start from the first minute, I’ll explain why he didn’t play in Lecce…”

These are the statements from the former Lazio coach: “Zapata starting from the 1st minute? Definitely. Zapata was supposed to play in Lecce, but the decision was influenced by the fact that I didn’t have a main striker and he was coming off a game where he had started. Day by day he’s finding his best form, it’s likely but I still have to evaluate based on how the match goes. Blackouts? We’re working on them both individually and as a team, believe me. We’re seeking consistency, we want to eliminate individual lapses in concentration: it’s the work that helps us fill the gaps. Milan is a great team, but I don’t want to say that we only pay attention when facing big teams.”

“Lecce? We need to work and improve in the final meters, both offensively and defensively. It’s that meter and that ball that make the difference; you can’t be focused on nine balls and not on one, because that’s the one that costs you. There was the final mistake from the penalty spot, but the team stayed on its feet and tried to get the result back. We have to start again from there, the work we’re doing is all about improving in the final meters.”
