Turin, Paolo Vanoli still wants more: “We need to grow.”

The'elimination hurts, despite a historic start to the season.

Torino are the leaders in Serie A, but eliminated from the Coppa Italia already in the round of 16 at the hands of an Empoli side that continues to impress. A situation that does not please the granata coach, Paolo Vanoli, at all, who said at the end of the game that he wanted to see further growth from his team despite a lonely summit in the league not seen since 1977.

"In the first half our attitude was right, but we were slow with the ball. And in this way you become predictable – complained Vanoli to the microphones of 'SportMediaset' -. Then behind I still have some difficulties, we are still not completely solid and it showed. I need certainty".

"I congratulate Empoli, but this defeat stings and it will have to serve as a lesson for us – è the warning of Vanoli -. I wanted to do well in this Italian Cup, but they played at our home with great professionalism. We stay in touch with reality; we were tonight as well. And although we look to the future with serenityà, we still have to grow a lot. And we know".

Vanoli è then focused on Torino’s position in the standings and the team’s ambitions: "C'è great enthusiasm, and the fact that the fans enjoy it è right. We però know what è our path, and tonight we failed to do what we should have done", his reflection.
