 Manager's Corner
Torino manager Tanel Tursk again writes to Torino about the latest developements in the club which has had a fantastic month.
Hello Toro Fans!
I like to salute you all for being great support for us in this month of magic for Torino. We're doing great in the Serie A and we've conceeded one goal in five matches.
I always said that my goal is to keep the clean-sheet because then it's sure our opponents won't outscore us.
Now we saw that immediately when we did such thing we had a create month and we're just two points away from second place and share the 3rd and 4th.
We had the best out of all the matches and maybe only Ascoli was good in keeping us to a draw, but we still had the better chances in that match.
Three big wins againist Catania, Chievo and Cagliari were great, but the Atalanta draw was a tough hit.
As you may know we had a tactical change againist Chievo Verona and it worked great. Our players often had problems againist wingers in that 3-5-2 formation and that's because we are more about skill, rather than pace.
Some players though have got their form back and play like they should.
Abbruscato is scoring left and right at the moment and we're getting the ball on his head as I demanded in September. Now we see the effect of it as he has scored lots of headers, the two goals againist Cagliari were joy to the eye.
Also the formation change had a positive effect on Alessandro Rosina and that was one of the main reasons behind that test in the first place.
Raffaele Schiavi is also finding his defending skills in the four-man backline and I hope that the big clubs don't come knocking at our door at the end of the season. =D
Also Lupatelli is more secure now and Pancaro has bloomed alongside Comotto. I have to praise every player, but I may need to be a little angry at Masashi Oguro's and Roberto Stellone's performances, but I'm sure they'll improve.
November will be tough for us... we have a tough Serie A tie againist Fiorentina in middle of the month and before that we'll have an important Coppa match with Palermo.
Toro For Scudetto!
