In the midst of the protest, a point with the flavor of hot broth for Turin and Monza, two sick people far from recovery.
The match between the two most struggling teams in the championship takes place at the Olimpico Grande Torino: on the one hand Torino, fresh from 6 defeats in the last 7, on the other Monza second to last in the standings and desperately looking for points. Add to this a desolate atmosphere due to the absence of the Maratona curve in the first 45 minutes due to the protest against President Cairo, which caused an already technically unmemorable race to begin in absolute silence. It all happens in 4′ and the two goals come from two inactive balls, the only situations in which the two teams, given the limits shown with the ball at their feet, could have gotten hurt: Masina unlocks it and Djuric takes it backand the draw is fair if we take into account the better start of the Brianza and the better ending of the Granata. A point each that seems like a hot soup for two sick people who are far from recovery: every now and then, in hard times, even that is goodand for ranking reasons today Vanoli’s team is heating up a little more than Nesta’s.
The word crisis, for Torino after Zapata’s injury, is a euphemism: the granata are experiencing a real collapse, which undoubtedly finds its foundations in the absence of a technical and moral leader like the Colombian, but can also be attributed to other contributing causes that were highlighted in today’s match. Defensive instability continues to be a huge problem, and as much as Vanoli covers himself, the only result seems to be the difficulty of maneuvering in possession rather than the solidity in non-possession: certainly the shortage of good feet doesn’t help, but the The Varese coach’s ideas seem as confused as his team’s play, and the fact that Walukiewicz finished the match as an attacking midfielder says a lot about this. All Torino’s players seem technically involved, even those who had performed well in recent seasons (Vlasic and Ricci are the most obvious examples) and this can only be attributable to the technical management: if you don’t manage to win at home against the penultimate team in the standings and if the point obtained is in some ways almost a sigh of relief after so many defeats, the situation is truly worrying.

Monza is not doing any better, with the aggravating circumstance of an alarming ranking: today the Brianza players would have the opportunity to break the deadlock immediately, thanks to the amnesia of the Granata defence, but beyond those two occasions and Djuric’s goal from an inactive ball, they are unable to make themselves very dangerous going forward. Given the difficulties of the Granata and a hot environment, for the red and whites this match could have been an important chance to turn the season around, but at a certain point Monza decided to leave the ball in the game to Torino, even risking defeat in the final: if Nesta wants to change the skin of this team he must try to make it less timid and give it a more effective offensive proposal, even because even though he doesn’t have the skills of a futbol bailado, he can find a more important technical quotient in his squad compared to other direct competitors.
Passed and failed. Already mentioned about the technical involution of some presumed granata pillars, one can have a complete reading of the situation by looking at the side lanes: the only good things come from the right-footed Lazaro (including the assist on a corner kick), forced, however, to play on the left until the mysterious object Borna Sosa shows some quality, and so he goes to the right Pedersenthat there must be a reason why he was on the bench in relegated Sassuolo and every day that passes makes us miss Bellanova. In front of, Sanabria and Adams they confirm that they are not well matched despite their commitment, while the only ones who survive are the usual ones Nope and the unusual Monthauthor of the advantage goal. At Monza, however, the guarantees are the usual veterans Djuric and Marìwho are decisive in their respective departments: he is undoubtedly the worst on the pitch Biancowho often tries to make it easier for his opponents and gets a yellow tending towards orange midway through the second half, and greater offensive propulsion is expected on the flanks Kyriakopoulos and Pereira. Finally, a note on a matte Maldini: if he fails to emerge in a match against the worst defense in Serie A, in this Serie A, Spalletti’s honeyed words are probably a little optimistic.
The Maratona curve remains silent until the 45th minute: it is yet another act of protest against President Cairo, who in recent weeks is reaching unprecedented levels. Already a month and a half ago there had been a protest march by the people of Granata, for a few days now a banner has been hanging in the central Piazza San Carlo urging the president to leave, and today’s is nothing but the last act of a people impatient with an unseemly management of the club in sporting but also moral terms: probably, the owner of RCS expected to get away with his downward transactions this time too, but he miscalculated, and in the end he didn’t need it a great accountant a calculate the impoverishment that the farewells of Buongiorno and Bellanova would have brought without adequate countermeasures. The patience of the environment is over, and if Cairo intends to use the rumors of a Red Bull interest to explain today’s protest, he should know that he is mistaking the cause for the effect: a cause that must be investigated only and exclusively in its bad management, which no result will now be able to mask and no supporter is willing to tolerate it anymore.
