Aaaaaah the derby! It's been a while! When was the last time?
Toro... So these guys actually think they are The team in town, aye? Juve is only a team supported by southern immigrants who ended up in Turin just because of FIAT?
They argue we have no spirit where they would be the real traditional club of Turin...?
Well... They were founded in 1906 with the merging of two clubs: Internazionale Turino and FC Torinese. Vittori Pozzo (yes Il vecchio Maestro, who coached the NT to 2 World Cup victories in 1934 and 1938 was a major actor of that merging. The new club was then called Football Club Torino.
Under the fascist regime the changed the name to Torino AC (Associazone Calcio).
After WW II, a new name came, Torino Calcio. Under that name, they conquered their share of the glory, but after the financial disasters of 2005 they re-re-renamed the club to Torino Football Club.
Talk about the being the most traditional club and all...
Now, for football matters, I will not say I fear them, but they are a whole other calibre than Reggina. Di Loreto, Natali, Motta, Barone, Grella, Lazetic, Di Michele Ventola, Bjelanovic; goode that Rosina is out.... They have some resources. And Novellino is not half a tactician either.
For our team, I think we should go for fighting spirit. The stadium (Stadio Grande Torino when they play), will be full with granate, too happy to boo and whistle their most hated entity, our team.
I'd recommend to go for guys like Nedved, Iaquinta if available or Del Piero, Brazzo and the rest of the Roma team.
Not sure about doing trident or not. Let C-RA decide on that. Same goes for Tiago, Ranieri knows him good, and knows when to play him to build up confidence and when to avoid a fiasco, so I'll trust him.
Prediction: we win a tense match. 1-2
