Torino defender Ardian Ismajli has expressed confidence that teammate Alessandro Cacciamani will be able to replicate his recent form in Serie A. Ismajli spoke to the press from Torino’s pre-season training camp in Pinzolo, Italy, offering an assessment of the squad and the new manager’s approach.
Ismajli highlighted the importance of teamwork and the manager’s desire for a build-up play originating from the defense, emphasizing a possession-based style. He noted the team is still working to fully implement these tactics, with a month remaining before their first Coppa Italia match.
The Albanian international specifically praised Cacciamani, a young forward who recently returned to Torino following a successful loan spell at Juve Stabia in Serie B. Ismajli believes that gaining consistent playing time is crucial for developing young players, and Cacciamani achieved this at Juve Stabia under manager Salvatore Abate.
Cacciamani made 36 appearances for Juve Stabia last season, scoring two goals and providing four assists, also featuring in the Serie B playoffs. Ismajli believes the experience gained during this loan period will be invaluable as Cacciamani looks to establish himself in Torino’s first team under Abate.
Torino will be hoping Cacciamani can provide a spark in attack as they look to improve upon their Serie A performance last season. The club finished tenth in the league, and Abate will be aiming to build a more competitive squad for the upcoming campaign. Ismajli’s comments suggest Cacciamani could play a significant role in those plans.
