Without good playing, granatas win the first of the two home games
TORINO DOESN'T BEAT THE HISSES
Ferrante sends K.O. Castel di Sangro, but the fans contest
The supportery dislikes the victory: the contestation finishes with the enter of Cravero, the favourite of Maratona. Against a defensive team (one shot only) and with the advantage of a player, Torino shows the usual problems: they need a forward and a good attack.
Sandreani: "Only the result is important. I understand the fans, but now we need serenity. [...] I can nothing but apologize with them, their outpourings are natural."
TORINO-CASTEL DI SANGRO 1-0 Even if Torino has won, the fans contest granata's game
Torino, victory between the hisses
Decides a goal by Ferrante, but the claps are only for the opponents
A match not to be remembered
Awful - Hissed - Very useful
Ferrante scores, then the team tilts
Torino rejoins promotion positions, but granatas don't seem to have solved their problems.
Great match of Castel di Sangro, with only 10 players for almost all the match
Sommese: scowl, assists and an almost-goal
Ferrante celebrates his first goal with Torino: "It's for the fans who will have a good Christmas"
Calleri: "Contestating after half hour will not help us in reaching serie A"
Sandreani beds pardon of supportery: "I excuse me with the fans. They have all the reasons to contest. [...] There are a lot of expectiations around us: our Sundays will be always agitated".
Jaconi: "I wish I saw what could we do if we also were playing with 11 players. [...] I think Torino will not have problems in reaching promotion, if the jitters don't bamboozle them. The environmental situation is not the best one".
Against Castel di Sangro (with 10 players for more than a hour) granatas scoring with a goal by Ferrante
Torino, three points and a sea of boos
Polemical claps of the "Maratona" to the opponents
The contestation, with choirs and banners, Calleri as subject, attacked soon also the team with an intensity never reached before. Players were first invited to show their attributes, then were sent "to work", and, finally, loudly hissed while opponents' actions were accompanied with some "olè".
