Torino, Baroni: 3-5-2 possible, Adams fit to start or sub | OneFootball

Marco Baroni spoke on the eve of the clash between Torino and Napoli, an important match to revive the Granata’s fortunes after a difficult start to the season. “We’re coming off a particular week due to the international break, but the boys have worked well. We’re playing against the reigning champions and we have the chance to prove a lot. I want us not to repeat the mistakes we made at the end of the match against Lazio.”

Torino, Baroni: “The 3-5-2? I’m not ruling it out. Adams is in great shape, ready to start or come on during the match”

On the eve of the Serie A match against Napoli, Torino coach Marco Baroni spoke at a press conference, addressing various topics: tactical choices, the team’s condition, and in particular the form of Che Adams, who is now fully available again.

Baroni open to the 3-5-2: “I’m not ruling it out, we need balance”

Asked about possible changes in formation, Baroni explained: “The 3-5-2 is not ruled out. It’s a system we’ve tried and one that can be useful in certain situations, especially when we need to give the team more balance and compactness. I have versatile players who can play in several roles without compromising the group’s identity.”

The Granata coach then added that the choice of formation “will also depend on the characteristics of the opponent and the moment in the match,” emphasizing how tactical flexibility is now a necessity in modern football.

Adams at his best: “He’s in great shape, he can start or come on”

One of the most anticipated topics concerned Che Adams’ condition, after his return from a physical problem. Baroni dispelled any doubts: “Adams is in great shape, he’s trained consistently and with intensity. He’s fully recovered. He could start, but he’s also a great option to come off the bench. The important thing is that he’s back to one hundred percent.”

The Scottish striker, who arrived in the summer to strengthen the attack, is considered a key element in the Tuscan coach’s technical project.

Torino improving, but consistency is needed

Baroni then took stock of Torino’s progress at the start of the season: “We’re improving, but we need to find consistency. There are moments when the team shows its qualities well, others when we need to be more clinical. The season is long and requires balance, focus, and the desire to work every day.”

The coach reiterated the importance of the mental approach and energy management, with a schedule that promises to be packed: “The team needs to learn to manage the moments in a match. Sometimes more courage is needed, other times more order. But I’m very satisfied with the boys’ attitude.”
