Coach Ignazio Abate spoke to DAZN before the home match between Torino and Como, underlining that Torino is growing and that the match against Como was scheduled "at the right time".
Abate recalled that, a month and a half ago, the team was still in the consolidation phase with many new players. "We are growing, if I think back to a month and a half ago we are improving. And it wasn't easy, with so many new players, but we still haven't done anything. We have to push with the utmost humility", he declared, highlighting the need to continue working with patience and determination.
Regarding Como's preparation, the coach admitted that the time available was limited. "I don't know, there was little time to prepare for the match. We know we are facing a great team, but we want to give a good performance in front of our fans, perhaps this match comes at the right time", he explained. The main objective for Torino remains to ensure a solid performance and to take advantage of the opportunity to play against a top-level team.
Abate also reported that he had a very positive evening against Monza, calling it "a very beautiful evening". “We are pleased that this enthusiasm has been recreated but it must be managed and fueled with our sense of duty,” he added, underlining the importance of maintaining enthusiasm without losing sight of long-term objectives.
With the match against Como imminent, Torino are preparing to showcase their latest form, looking to consolidate their position in the league table and demonstrate that they are a competitive team. Attention remains focused on the result and how the team will face the challenge, with the hope of continuing to grow and demonstrate its value on the pitch.
