«There are days like this, let’s accept them. And Sala made a eurogol ». Ivan Juric philosophically takes the setback against Spezia, even if in truth he is much more angry than it transpires. Taurus missed a big chance to go big by showing ancient gaps again. «This time I can’t say I’m satisfied – the comment of the granata coach – what did we miss? The quality. There are things we need to do much better, from the smoothness of the game to the crosses. We created opportunities, but we were unable to score ».
Toro collapses in La Spezia: Sala’s goal decides, on 1-0 only Sanabria is close to par. Break at 14 points for Juric

The Bull has never really given the impression of embarrassing the opponent, nor have the changes served to give the shock. Many important absences – Mandragora, Brekalo, Pobega, Ansaldi – and a non-optimal condition of several pieces of the team (from Pjaca just returned to Praet who played without having trained) were felt in a match with a high competitive content. «Today was a hard and tense challenge – Juric’s analysis -, they unlocked it and then defended it with sharp teeth, we gave everything we had, but it wasn’t enough. Precarious form? True, we need to recover a little. Belotti still has to recover and raise the level, Praet I think did better ».
The stop of the championship will allow Turin to recover some energy, even if Juric does not believe in it. “They all go away in the various national teams, I will remain with 6 or 7 players – again the Croatian – I will have little time to work, but that’s the way it is, you have to adapt”. Meanwhile, for the match against Udinese at the resumption of Serie A, the grenades will have Pobega back, disqualified against his former team, and are working to get Mandragora out of the infirmary.
