“Our chat these days is very hot CThere are some who care a lot about this game. Despite being from Turin, I suffer more from the challenges with Inter, perhaps because beyond the rivalry I have always felt affection for the other team from my city.” He says this Evelina Christillinterviewed by the Gazzetta dello Sport on the day of the Mole derby.
The derby in Turin is very popular: what is the atmosphere like in the city?
“Yes, it’s true, there is a more lively air. Even if we are no longer in the years in which derbies counted for the scudetto, there is always great anticipation. In recent days I took part in a debate with Pasquale Bruno. I saw in him a great anger towards Juventus, typical of the Granata fans, even though he also played for us. This is a credit to him. It’s the famous Toro heart, what I fear most in this match.”
In what sense?
“Against us they always bring out the best. They care a lot about us, historically it has always been like this, plus they need to redeem themselves. And we are wavering at the moment, we can play extraordinary matches, like in Leipzig, or anonymous ones like the one with Stuttgart. I see a two-faced Juventus, after all it’s under construction, but it’s a team that doesn’t make you angry but hopeful. And this is already a step forward.”
What derby will it be?
“I expect it to be very balanced and I’m not saying this out of superstition like many Granata players I know. I’m convinced that it will be an evening of suffering, I would be satisfied with a 1-0 from Yildiz. Juve must win, we are sixth in the table, behind Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio, a position that cannot satisfy us.”
