CUPER: "THE TRIDENT? THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT BATISTUTA, RECOBA AND VIERI WILL PLAY TOGETHER."

APPIANO GENTILE - Hector Cuper press conference (1).

So Mr Cuper, is it right to change a winning team or not?
When a coach makes a change, he always does it to improve.

Will we see the attacking trident of Vieri, Batistuta and Recoba against Torino?
The trident... I don't know how to define it. I think that, more than anything else, it's everyone's whim. Vieri, Batistuta and Recoba can play together, but the team has also won without them playing together, like when all three played, with Crespo instead of Batistuta. I don't know the reason why so much is said about the trident, but if we look at the statistics, the team has played many times without the trident. Let's say that there is the possibility they will play together.

So let's say something else. Considering Torino's current form, is this one of the most ideal matches for you to use the trident?
No. If the three strikers play, it won't be because the opponent isn't strong. That would be a serious mistake on my part. I would play them together if it were the best way to create difficulties for Torino. Torino's current form has nothing to do with it.
