Turin, meeting in Philadelphia on Monday: here is the program for Juric’s team

8.30 am, in class. Everything is ready for the start of the 23/24 football year for Turin. Tomorrow morning in Philadelphia there is Juric’s appeal that he will begin his third season on the grenade bench, a record for the coach who had never been in the same place for so long in his career. A sign that things with the Cairo club are going according to plan, despite some initial friction. It will be a soft and hidden start for the grenades, behind closed doors, even if the stadium is expected to open, probably in the last days of next week, to allow the fans to embrace the team. Medical visits and scale tests will be the first steps of a group that this year wants to raise the bar of objectives again and try to really get into the game for a place in Europe. “This square deserves to dream more”, the coach’s message.

However, it will be a halved Turin, reinforced by 5/6 players from the youth teams, who will train in the city for the entire duration of the week. Already, however, with several big names like Sanabria, Schuurs and Radonjic, but without the internationals who started their holidays later and therefore have extra time available to rest. All, except one because Buongiorno cut off the last few days to start sweating again in Philadelphia right away. After the revelation championship, the upcoming one must be one of consecration for the Turin defender.

From Monday 17, when Turin leaves for the training camp in Pinzolo, all the others will join, starting with the Under 21 players: not only Ricci and Pellegri, but also the new Bellanova. In Val Rendena, Torino will train until 28 July and will play two friendlies. Debut on the 22nd against Feralpisalò, encore on the 28th against Modena before returning to the city. The second phase of the summer preparations will take place in the city, but they have two friendlies scheduled in France: the first on 2 August against Lens, the second on 6 against Reims. The last tests before the official commitments. It starts in the Italian Cup on August 15th.
