New coach of Torino Walter Mazzari gave the first press conference.

On Friday, January 5, the first meeting of Walter Mazzari with media representatives as head coach of Torino was held.

"When the President of Torino Urbano Cairo called me, a wave of mixed feelings flooded me," Mazzari said at a press conference. - I can be called a coach-traveler, and I'm not the first time I come to a new club, but the great Torino is something special. I always feel sorry for my colleague, whom I have to change, especially if his players fully support him. I already talked to the guys, and I do not think that we will have problems in the work of ".

"I like my work, during my career I have studied all kinds of systems, and now I am ready for any challenge. I do not have much time for prelude, because the result is needed now. Football is not pure science, but without a scientific approach it is impossible to achieve great success. Yes, luck plays a big role, but without the full dedication of all, without exception, luck will not help. I'm ready to give everything that I have for the sake of the team's success and I hope that everyone will do the same ".

"Everyone who saw the teams that I trained know that in their game the hand of the coach was felt, my hand. Most often I used the scheme 3-5-2, but this is not dogma. It all depends on the players that are at my disposal. I'm not a supporter of any dogmas, I prefer to give the opportunity to reveal the talents of individual players. But at the same time, a balance must be maintained to avoid the chaos ".

"We have already discussed with the president and sports director Gianluca Petraki what they see the future of the team. Of course, it's nice to watch the game of Barcelona or my Napoli, which shone Cavani, Lavessi and Hamshik - 70% of the time these teams spend on the opponent's half of the field. But in Italy the championship is won by a team with better protection, and not with a better attack, and this fact must be taken into account ".

The first match under the leadership of Walter Mazzari Torino will hold on Saturday, January 6, at home against Bologna.
