A season of short-lived expectations for Torino striker Andrea Belotti: after an incredible 2016/17 season for the grenata scoring 26 goals in 35 appearances, the 24 year old Italian secured his place in the starting 11 for gli azzurri under former Torino coach Ventura. Chairman Urbano Cairo millionaire offers from top tier sides around Europe, but refused to sell the striker.
However, this season it looks to have come back to haunt him, as the striker has had an average season, scoring only 9 goals in 28 appearances - a factor in this case is injury.
"I have not regretted not having sold him last year, even for the next move, the goal is to keep him and start over coming back stronger then ever", the words of the Chairman to GR Parliament.
Cairo then analyzed Torino's season: "This is the championship of regrets - I think there was an important team, but we missed Belotti who stopped by two injuries, lost three months of the championship. We had focused a lot on not selling him".
