Torino, Ivan Juric aims to dispel derby taboo
Ivan Juric’s words ahead of Juventus-Torino
On the eve of the derby della Mole against Juventus, which is valid for the eighth day of Serie A, Torino coach Ivan Juric spoke bluntly about the extracittadina during the pre-match press conference.
"I learned that we never win, è something that bothers me. I would like to change the trend. The diversity è è that one team è very strong and the other much less, in Genoa the clubs è are balanced. We had balanced matches with Juve, where we lost on set pieces. We have to put more nastiness, score goals and play with more intensity and nastiness. The record in Juventus’ favor must be a stimulus for us. The players perceive it soì. We want to take home the derby after so many years, but if we fail, it does not have to be the end of the world. My Taurus fan friends speak to me with optimism. We have to see it as a great opportunity" began the granata coach.
"So far I have seen two different Juve. A team that attacked the matches, like Udine taking risks behind and with a lot of physical strength, while in matches like against Atalanta they were low and waited to restart on the counterattack. I expect an aggressive Juventus, which will try to recover the ball forward. We will not have time to waste and we will have to make fast actions. They will not be able to count on Vlahovic and Chiesa, but we are also missing many players. In derbies forò many other things count" continued the Croatian coach.
" It would be madness to get distracted. There must be great motivation. The team to score 50-53 points must be at the top of the mindset. However, right now we don't have that attitude that I would like to see in certain situations and certain behaviors. To achieve the things of last year we have to work hard" added the former Hellas Verona coach.
"I love Sanabria, I would like him to find the attitude of when he used to play. In these games with the three-man defense I prefer to deploy two trequartisti instead of two center forwards. After the break, forò, we will also be able to try something different" concluded Ivan Juric.
