Torino, Baroni on win: Why I picked that keeper, Casadei stay calm | OneFootball

Marco Baroni's Torino wins at home against Cremonese 1-0 thanks to a first-half goal by Nikola Vlasic. The former Lazio coach spoke at the post-match press conference.

Torino, Baroni reveals: “Israel is working but needs to find calm! Simeone? I haven't seen him again, we take the 3 points”

At the end of the match at the Grande Olimpico in Torino, featuring Torino and Cremonese, Torino's coach, Marco Baroni, made some statements in a press conference. Here are his words, reported by tmw:

On the match

“What satisfies me? The attitude of Toro, as a team. We start from here, from the work. We have recovered Ismajli and Simeone, Zapata is growing... It's all important, beyond the three points. It wasn't an easy match, we approached it as we should have.”

On Petrachi

“Does he want more? He's right, I will give even more together with the team. We came from positive results, then we lost important players but today I saw many positive things again.”

On Ngonge and Casadei

“There's a mix, I have to resolve it. Casadei needs to stay calm, we are all with him. It's the same for Ngonge, he has my esteem and must work with professionalism and seriousness: he needs to focus on the daily routine, then you'll find the answers in the match.”

On the midfield and Vlasic

“We started tense, there was a bit of anxiety, and then we loosened up and started applying pressure. There were many situations where we could have doubled the score, I don't recall any major threats from Cremonese. It's credit to the team, we managed it well emotionally. It's an attitude I consider as growth.

Vlasic is important, like many others, and he's finding his role. He is centering himself both mentally and physically: in difficulty, when you are a team, everything becomes easier.”

On Paleari and Israel

“At this moment, I'm honest: Israel is working but needs to find calm. Paleari is a certainty because he is a team man and a locker room man, he has a sense of belonging. It was right for him to face it today. There is a good harmony also with Israel and Popa. Paleari wasn't completely fit, but we needed his desire and personality. He has gained even more points in human values, he was ready.”

On the alleged penalty incident

“I haven't seen it again. We needed the team performance, we achieved it. We take the three points, we have a nice week ahead.”
