Fiorentina-Torino 2-0: Ilicic and Rodriguez do share purple – The Republic

Florence – Fiorentina proves stronger absences and, thanks to a 2-0 win over Torino, resumed the race in the fight for the Champions League, leaving behind the two consecutive defeats collected with Lazio and AC Milan . Sousa’s team uses the best possible set pieces and, with a magic Ilicic free-kick and an imperious ex-head of Rodriguez looked on as a corner, makes bitter 200th Ventura on the bench of a Turin that, despite useful results with Frosinone and Sassuolo, is not yet fully healed. The purple argue a good first half, then fall in the second half but without the grenade – close to equal in one circumstance with Baselli – are able to take advantage of the first seal of the defender-scorer putting in ice and the match result.

EMERGENCY SOUSA – With Badelj injured, Vecino Suarez disqualified and now departing and even convened, Paulo Sousa is an emergency in midfield and opts for a team front-wheel drive. Borja Valero is set back in the middle to partnering with Verdú, while forward the Portuguese coach deploys heavy artillery, with Ilicic in support of Kalinic and Babacar. Ventura, however, change over the recovery of three men on Wednesday with the Sassuolo confirms Ichazo on goal and not give up the strike partnership Belotti-Building, which immediately showed good agreement.

QUALITY PURPLE – The first time the choice of Sousa to focus on quality pays. After an initial study phase, in fact, Fiorentina took over the reins of the game and sends almost always empty attempts at pressing the grenade, often late and forced to make a foul. Borja Valero proves that you can play any role in midfield to perfection and Verdú surprising for its ability to combine the indisputable technical qualities a surprising willingness to sacrifice in not being held.

MAGIC Ilicic – The purple start to grind the game and touch the advantage with a double chance in the space of just a minute. 17 ‘Astori touches the door with a header at the far post, and a few seconds later Ilicic does not take advantage of a gift in disengagement Ichazo: Slovenian sends the wrong foot, the right one, and sends the bottom from an excellent position . After a volley out of Bernardeschi invitation Babacar, the question changes when Ilicic has the opportunity to unleash his left-handed. At 24 ‘, a free kick, the former Palermo draw a perfect trajectory on which nothing can the flight tried to Ichazo. Opens the scoreboard, the purple control with good personality in the second half of the first half without conceding scoring at Turin.

RODRIGUEZ CLOSE ACCOUNTS – In the second half Fiorentina moves back the center of gravity and let’s crush more from Turin but creates very few chances. The ball of the tie occurs on the feet of Baselli, served at 52 ‘from the shore area of ​​the property: the midfielder, who had chastised the gigliati leg, shot too centrally and can not get over Tatarusanu. The maneuver of the guests is rather predictable and the men of Sousa, which debuts Tino Costa and Zarate, no particular difficulties in controlling the situation. The episode that avoids the risk of Fiorentina’s final suffering comes to 83 ‘, when Rodriguez stands head and stabs Ichazo for 2-0. A successful libertarian, with which the whole room purple hopes to have left behind the difficult start to 2016.
