“Bomb Debut” Miranchuk’s exquisite goal for Torino is admired in Italy

For Alexey Miranchuk, a new stage in his career began. Perhaps the next season will be decisive for the Russian. If the midfielder does it well, he will be able to gain a foothold in Europe. If not, you may have to return home.

Alexei wanted to go to Torino, and Torino wanted Alexei. Already in the first match for the new club, Miranchuk entered the starting lineup and immediately declared himself. In Italy, they admire the Russian with might and main, who scored a beautiful goal.

I would like to believe that Alexey has finally found his team.

Enough time

The appearance of Miranchuk in the starting lineup seemed rather unexpected. However, the Torino head coach said a few days ago that Alexei has an advantage over other newcomers to the team, since he came from Atalanta. Jurich considers himself a student of Gian Piero Gasperini, so their game models are similar, which means that Miranchuk’s adaptation should not take much time. Apparently, training in recent days only strengthened the coach’s confidence that the Russian is ready.

Of course, it cannot be said that Miranchuk was the leader of Torino’s attacks in the match against Monza (2:1). Nevertheless, his every action was meaningful and useful. Several times he brought his partners to shock positions, making non-standard decisions in the final third. Alexey interacted especially well with attacking partners Nemanja Radonjic and Antonio Sanabria.

The second one eventually became the author of an assist on the Russian. Miranchuk joined the attack from deep, broke into the penalty area and rolled the ball past the goalkeeper with a light touch. From the outside, it might seem that the goal came out clumsy, but in reality the situation required technical execution, and Alexey worked perfectly.

Alas, after the break, Miranchuk had to leave the field due to problems with the back of the thigh. I would like to believe that the problem is not too serious and in the next round we will see Alexei again at the start. Since he had enough time to prove himself, then it should only get better.

Fan reaction

Turin fans are delighted with Miranchuk’s first game. Many appreciated Alexey’s goal, although it was not a top-kick from thirty meters. Italian football connoisseurs know how to see beauty even in poke.

“That soft touch of Miranchuk was beautiful,” writes Francesco Bugnone.

— Sophistication, — Gianluca Sartori laconically echoes.

“Now I understand why Torino wanted Miranchuk at all costs,” adds Jan.

“Delightful Miranchuk,” sums up patohernandez.

Miranchuk’s game as a whole was also appreciated by Turin fans. In their opinion, Aleksey has already become part of the Yurich system and has excellently established mutual understanding with partners.

“Radonich, Miranchuk, Sanabria are a very strong trio,” says Pp1899.

— Miranchuk has already fit into our model, because he came from Gasp, — analysts Jan adds.

“Miranchuk showed a great game, despite muscle problems,” the Torino France fan account expresses respect to the Russian.

— Bomb debut, — Claudio R excels in epithets.

Let’s hope that these are far from the only positive reviews that Turin fans will leave about Miranchuk. Aleksey has a whole season ahead of him, and it is important not to slow down. The first pancake turned out to be perfect, but we must remember that the Russian started with a goal in Atalanta, and much more spectacular. Then it did not save him from the fate of the shopkeeper. Maybe this time it will be different?
