Torino, Baroni: "We need to keep this level"

Torino coach Marco Baroni commented with satisfaction on the victory against Sassuolo in the sixteenth day of Serie A: “Convincing performance in all aspects, beyond the result that we are very pleased with. The first half was almost perfect, now we will have to try to maintain this level”.

The granata found their second consecutive victory, moving away from the hot spots in the standings. “The team is growing a lot in the defensive phase. The figure of seven clean sheets is important, but what I try to convey is the’idea of defending by running forward”.

“I want an aggressive team to recover the ball near the opponent’s area. We have 4 or 5 strikers, including young Njie who is very interesting, and I need to keep them close to the goal”.

“The mistake we made before was to think that defensive density was enough by lowering ourselves; today, however, we were aggressive and this is the way forward”.
