Torino consolidated their run in Serie A with a 3-2 victory against Monza, which allowed Granata to overtake Juventus and move into sixth place, equal on points with Frosinone and Cagliari. The match, played at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, saw the club's first goals of the season scored by Fitz-Jim and Belghali, while the final goal came from the center of Vlasic. With this result, coach Ignazio Abate achieved his third consecutive victory, a milestone that the club had not achieved at home for seven years.
Despite the joy of continuity, Abate invited the players not to get carried away by pride. In the press conference he underlined that "being at the top of the ranking is nice, but it is not the final result"; he warned that “if we feel satisfied, it is the beginning of the end.” The coach also expressed frustration with the two goals conceded by Monza, stating that "there are many positive things, but the two goals we conceded make me angry" and that the result could have been clearer if the team had not been "too light" in some moments.
The match ended with a celebratory final whistle, where the team and fans joined together to celebrate the success. Abate reiterated the importance of the fans' support, defining them as the "fuel" of the club and underlining that Granata cannot afford to let their guard down. He also recalled that the next match, against Como, represents a crucial test for the team.
With the victory, Torino demonstrated that it can compete with the strongest teams in Serie A, but the coach asked the group to maintain high concentration and continue to work on the weak points. The club remains in a prominent position in the table, but the road to the three points ranking remains long and requires consistency and determination. The attention of the fans and internal discipline will be fundamental to defining the future of Torino in the current season.
