TURIN. “For half an hour we were spectacular: what anger are two points lost.” Ivan Juric thus condenses the emotions of Torino-Empoli, a challenge that the grenades had in hand thanks to an unsuccessful sprint start – 2 goals in 15 ‘-, before slipping on an episode that drew another match. Singo’s expulsion was paid very dearly, since from that moment the grenades also lost clarity and meters on the field, those gained by an annihilated Empoli in the first part of the match. And also lucky to find the goal immediately after the numerical superiority. Then from 2-0 to 2-2 it was a moment.
«There was a communication defect between Singo and Zima when the winger was sent off – the coach’s analysis -, then after the 2-1 we had a little shock and the game changed. But the team showed character, they fought like a lion until the end, I congratulate them. And what a good Pjaca, he has had so many injuries, now he wants to get back to how he was: he scored a great goal ».
The right path has been taken, Juric is convinced that he looks to the future with confidence, even showing his claws when it comes to defending his creature. «We were perfect and those who say the opposite are scarce – the Croatian raises his voice -, I really like this group and it continues to grow. Unfortunately it is a moment like this, it does not turn out well. In Rome you play an excellent game and lose, this time you play great for half an hour against an opponent I had never seen in such difficulty, but that’s not enough. We make a mistake and pay immediately. The referee? I would like to avoid talking about his decisions, for Colombo he was the first in Serie A, it’s not easy. Too bad, it could have been a great evening ».
Which ends, however, with another half rip-off. Now a small collection for Toro who on Monday will immediately have the opportunity to make up for it against Cagliari of the former Mazzarri: to close the circle.
