Torino, midfield knot for Juric ahead of AC Milan match

Torino, the words of Ivan Juric

The 22nd day of Serie A will open on Friday with the advance match between Torino and AC Milan. Ahead of the match, the coach of the granata Ivan Juric spoke during the usual pre-match press conference.

“When you lose two players like Ricci and Lukic and there is Ilic who is not 100 percent it is normal that you are in trouble. The midfield is fundamental, as the work done by the two guys in the middle allows the whole team to turn in the right direction. As for who will play, I haven’t made a decision yet, but we will come up with something. I have several options at my disposal: Linetty is coming from a period conditioned by ups and downs, Adopo and Vieira have similar characteristics from a tactical point of view,” the granata coach began in reference to the emergency on the midfield.

“I’m sorry we can’t face them to the best of our ability. Certainly Milan is not having a good moment since the late draw they suffered with Roma. However, these teams are much more dangerous when they are struggling. Of them I am afraid of everything: they have two or three top-notch outfielders. I expect a very dynamic match, with little time to spare and focused on one-on-ones in every area of the field,” concluded the Serb.
