Torino, Urbano Cairo: “Important to win against Cremonese, Petrachi is working behind the scenes”

Baroni's Torino emerges victorious in the match against Cremonese, temporarily placing them in 12th position in the standings. At the end of the game, the President of the granata club, Urbano Cairo, spoke in the mixed zone. Here are his statements, reported by tmw:

On the match

“It was very important to win and we did it. Cremonese has 20 points because obviously, they have some good qualities. Plus, they have a good coach we know well, Nicola. Adams came close to scoring on more than one occasion, and they had that ball they shot over the bar. I am very happy, I saw a compact and eager team. Initially, there was a bit of tension, which is normal after three defeats. But then I saw them grow gradually, and I am pleased.”

On the January market

“We'll see, with Petrachi we are working behind the scenes. If there are opportunities, we will take them. We have no market block, we can do what we want. I don't want to get into this, Gianluca is working on it. When he has clear ideas, he makes proposals to me. Now we wait, it's December 13th, and we still have 2 very important matches: for now, let's focus a lot on Sassuolo, then if there is a need to help the team and the coach, we will gladly do so.”

On the attitude

“The team was motivated and eager, they played a game with the desire to win it. Sometimes you want to win and you don't, this time we did. Baroni? We all have responsibilities, including him, but the team took theirs and did good things. Now we have Sassuolo: they have 20 points like Cremonese, and that's not few. After that, we have other interesting and all difficult matches. Not by chance, we lost 2 against Lecce and Parma. It's important not to underestimate anyone and, against seemingly less important teams, to do even more.”

On Paleari

“He is an experienced goalkeeper, there was a moment when he was at Cittadella when we tried to get him in 2019 and we couldn't because maybe they didn't sell him. He might have played fewer Serie A matches than he could have, but today he has a great opportunity and he takes advantage of it by giving his best when he's on the field.”

On Zapata

“Having Zapata on the field is a problem for those who face him, as evidenced by the assist he made to Vlasic. Then I saw him very well in his passes, he didn't miss any balls. The coach took him off at the 60th minute: this year he has played 250 minutes, he is recovering from an injury that kept him out for an entire year, he is 34 years old and has significant weight, but I see him very motivated. He feels the importance of his role as captain, and I am very happy for him. Adams also did well, the goalkeeper made two great saves on him.”

On transfers

“Has anyone asked to leave? No, not a single one.”
