TURIN. “I’m angry, they never shot on goal: we had to win.” For Ivan Juric they are two points lost against Lazio, but underneath the 1-1 against a much better equipped group than the grenades is another good clue on the path taken by his team. “We played a great match, it’s true, I congratulate the team but now I can’t enjoy the performance”, the words of the coach who already has in mind where to start training at Filadelfia. «We could have scored more goals – his analysis -, we missed the last pass and a bit of speed between the lines. We had the opportunity to close it, unfortunately in the end we did not read an easy ball well, all the defense could have done better: let’s hope that the disappointment will turn into anger for the next match. Against Venezia it will be tough, it would be crazy to think about the derby already ».
With two close-range games, there’s no time to bite your hands, or to look too far. «We are starting from the bottom given the last two seasons – the concept underlines -, but if everything goes well with the recoveries of Belotti and Praet we have a very respectable squad. Unfortunately now I don’t have many changes ahead, but I’m happy with the 5 substitutions introduced. At the beginning I was not in favor, but instead you have a lot more choice and you can prepare the game better. Pjaca? He did very well like all the substitutes, but he is an incredible talent, I was in love with him already when he was playing in Croatia ».
Toro’s regret can also be felt in the words of Vanja MIlinkovic-Savic, who practically remained inactive throughout the match. “We deserved the victory, it’s a pity, instead it’s a draw that satisfies only my mother,” said the goalkeeper of Toro who for the second time in his career played against his brother Sergej (the first at the time he was defending the Spal goal). In the meantime, his good moment continues, despite the fact that once again he ran into some wrong passage for too much safety. «Juric’s trust is important, but it is I who must deserve it on the pitch. Now test the upcoming week: it will be important ». Venice and derby, to understand where the Bull can go.
