The very good performance against Chievo must have really exalted the new Curva Maratona idol Masashi Oguro, who was the real protagonist of Toro's usual midweek friendly.

The Granata defeated 8-0 local team Sanmauropianese (7th Italian division) and the Japanese striker netted a hattrick, while the other goals were scored by Stellone, Rosina, Orfei and Franceschini, as well as an own goal.

The lineups chosen today by Alberto Zaccheroni had little in common with the one we'll likely see on Saturday night against Cagliari, as the Toro coach gave room to the guys who have played less so far. In the first half the Granata fielded this eleven: Taibi, Melara, Pancaro, Orfei, Balestri, Music, Barone, Ferrarese, Fiore, Rosina, Stellone. In the second Toro played with Taibi (Fontana), Melara, Orfei, Franceschini, Music, Schiattarella, Ferrarese (Niada), Balestri, Konan, Oguro and Lazetic.

More indications about Zaccheroni's choices for the Cagliari trip are expected tomorrow, but the former Milan coach should insist on the 3-4-3 formation he successfully tried for the first time against Chievo, even though Cioffi is out. A player who could find more room is surely the above-mentioned Oguro: the Japanese striker is in a superb shape, as he showed today as well, and his words before the match reflect his good mood: "I'm a the coach's disposition and ready to offer my contribution for the team. I was really happy after Sunday's match, the fans are hot and their support is very important for me".
