Serie A spy game: Torino coach sent his assistant to film Roma's training session from a tree?!

Reading Time: 2min | Mon. 26.02.24. | 12:16

The police had to intervene

Roma woke up from a sleepy faze with Daniele De Rossi's arrival on the bench. The Wolfess records victories, plays more attractively, the atmosphere in the team is better, and it seems that the club breathes differently, so on that wave, a spy affair was discovered that aimed to shake the team from the Italian capital.

On Sunday afternoon, while the Romans were training ahead of the match against Torino, an uninvited guest was spotted at the Trigoria Sports Center. It turned out to be Michele Orecchio, a member of the Torinese club's coaching staff. Coach Ivan Jurić sent him to film De Rossi's training session, with the task of providing the boss with as much information as possible about the formation, the selection of starters, the plays, so that Toro could adequately prepare for the visit to the Olimpico.

It just didn't turn out as the guests had hoped. In preparation, they made a mistake in their steps, because the idea was, mind you, to place Orecchio among the branches of the trees that surround the pitches where Roma train. He was still dragging various gadgets, devices, and electronics with him and of course, he immediately became suspicious.

For this reason, he was easily spotted and removed from the scene by members of the local police, so Orecchio returned to the Turin base before the clash against the participant of the Europa League round of 16.

This is not the first time that Michele Orecchio has been caught trying to spy. Last year, he also had the same mission before the match between Roma and Torino, when he was exposed by Jose Mourinho's colleague at the time, Nuno Santos. Noting that then the police did not react, the Portuguese chased him away - with insults.
