"Turnover ahead of the derby?"

Four questions, three opinions on the matter. Our opinions, sometimes in agreement and sometimes conflicting with each other. Here is ToroPreview: before the game, three of our journalists will answer the editor's questions, having their say about the commitment that awaits the team and in general about the moment of the grenade. Personal opinions sometimes at odds, to try to give the reader a more complete view of the subject matter. This week, on the other side of the microphone, here are our Nicolòs Muggianu, Gualtiero Lasala and Andrea Calderoni.

Toro goes to play in Rome against Lazio. What game do you expect?

Muggianu – "This is one of those difficult games to predict. A little bit because, being the second commitment in three days, I expect a bit of turnover from both teams. A little bit, instead, because Turin is with its back to the wall: we expect a reaction from the team and from Mazzarri who, in my opinion, between Lazio and Juventus is played a lot ”.

Lasala – "I expect a very complicated game because the Toro is not a simple period, and is facing one of the most insidious and in the form of the championship. A Lazio that never dies, which has managed to resume two games in the 90th minute showing great character and personality. But I also expect a desire to react on the part of Torino: I don't think we will win "hands down", but I think that Mazzarri can give his players the skills to fight the Biancocelesti. It will be an interesting race ”.

Calderoni – "I expect a better Taurus than the last two releases. A Bull able to exploit his favorite weapons, defense and restart. Lazio is not unforgivable and the numbers bear witness to this. It will be an open game and the Taurus will have to capitalize on what Lazio will grant ”.

Would you raise the Zaza-Belotti pair by sending Iago Falque and Verdi to the bench?

Muggianu – “In my opinion, the best line-up that can line up Torino is with Verdi behind Zaza and Belotti. By the way I understand football, Mazzarri has already had so many answers that go in this direction: Iago Falque is no longer that of two seasons ago and Belotti has in Zaza the attack partner with whom he dialogues with greater ease. I would propose them from the first minute with Lazio and for the matches to follow ”.

Lasala – "Since Zaza started as a substitute, I think he can support a complete match against Lazio. You must make the most of this agreement with Belotti, because it is one of the – unfortunately – few offensive solutions to the grenade. At a time when Falque and Verdi are still in service for different reasons, it is necessary to take advantage of this pair of attack that the more they play together the better. "

Calderoni – "I don't want a Belotti preaching in the desert. He does not deserve it and Taurus does not deserve it. I think that with Zaza the "Gallo" can sting more and can move more freely. Waiting for Green and Falque hits, I would try Meite behind the tips. It would be an element capable of guaranteeing insertions, shots and physicality, pressing the first opponent of the ball. And then I can hardly believe that the Meite seen so far this season is the same as last season. "

Would you turn over for the derby? If so, who would you let rest?

Muggianu – "With a day off to cool down, one for travel and one for finishing, the turnover is almost obligatory. If I were in Mazzarri I would vary in all the roles compared to the eleven seen against Cagliari: I would give a chance to Bremer and Lyanco in defense (making Izzo rest), to Lukic and Meite in midfield and on the exteriors I would save Ansaldi in view of the derby ”.

Lasala – "I would do turnover independently of the derby, because the Turin players are not already in a brilliant physical form, what's more, they are going to challenge two top-level teams like Lazio and Juventus. The team must be given breath. I would certainly not use Verdi and Falque, but let Ansaldi and Aina rest for a while, for completely different reasons. I'd send Laxalt and De Silvestri into the field in their place. In the middle of the field it could be the right time for Lukic instead of Rincon alongside Baselli, because the Venezuelan has never had the opportunity to rest. In defense it could stop Djidji, and give confidence to Lyanco again ".

Calderoni – "No, no turnover. On the pitch with Lazio and Juve with who is better at the moment. Ansaldi on the right and Laxalt on the left. In defense there will be no Bonifazi, so space for Lyanco and bench for Djidji appeared in complete confusion with Cagliari. Therefore, no shifting because the derby is prepared by playing tonight, trying to get rid of the ghosts ".
