LOL…Damn, I love soccer.

Ahead of the two clubs' clash in Serie A on Monday, Torino's assistant coach was reportedly caught spying on Roma during training.

According to Corriere dello Sport, training between the Yellows and Reds last weekend turned into something a little strange, and ended with Torino's assistant coach Michele Orecchio sitting on a tree, cheerfully taking notes. It is said that he was seen there. Tutto Mercato Web.

What makes this cartoonish scene even more hilarious is that he was discovered by security guards while they were conducting a routine check. It's just that he couldn't hide properly to stay off people's radar while having no idea what was going on. And the fact that these two teams play on Monday means that perhaps (and I'm going to have to get a little journalistic here) Torino coach Ivan Giulić has asked Orecchio for information on Roma's game plan. It is clear that he was sent. (Related: Unopened NHL card case that may contain rare Wayne Gretzky jewelry sells for a whopping $3.7 million)

It's unclear how much information Orecchio had before his capture or how long he had been at the Rome training facility.

And what makes the situation even more ridiculous is that this is not the first time Orecchio has been caught spying at a Roma training ground. Same in 2023 Before the match between the two clubs. Jose Mourinho's assistant Nuno Santos was then seen holding a recording device.
