The Torino Post

Matteo Prati runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 58. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Match4 Nov 2026
Cup progress for Torino
A 2‑1 win over Lecco, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Match4 Nov 2026
Alieu Njie wins it after the whistle should have gone
102 minutes played. Alieu Njie found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Lecco went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

A brace, and Zakaria Aboukhlal takes the afternoon — 8.42
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Zakaria Aboukhlal provided it, and the 8.42 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Alieu Njie, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.97
A mark of 7.97 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Giovanni Simeone wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Torino hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Che Adams in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Torino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match7 Nov 2026
AS Roma take the points off Torino
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The terraces9 Nov 2026
The crowd has taken to Alieu Njie
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
