Meeting Highlights…TEAM PERFORMANCE
I would add that we lost a lot. Compared to last year, when I talk about the objective it is because I know the potential of the team, I try to read everyone's potential, but I imagine what they can give in the short-long term. This team has potential that will be developed over the years, the first year is this, and in the first year you just have to reach the goal. I ask myself the questions and I give myself the answers. We have changed the game system but it means lowering ourselves too much, we have good wingers , it gives you advantages and takes away certainties from changing during the match, we have to carry over the performance we decide to give for at least 95 minutes, then it doesn't all depend on us.
…ABOUT MATCH
Toro are strong and it's annoying for us because they look for physical contact, man-marking, and we are not used to this and we have to be more 'beep', more determined than other times, because in the first leg the first half of the We conceded Toro and if you suffer a team that plays to man it's negative. The first thing is the head, we have to try to lead.
…INJURIES
For one who comes in, there's one who goes out. Volpato won't be in the match. Someone had 'opined' on the substitution but it was a forced substitution, we pushed it a bit at the end of the first half, we didn't take any risks, he left in time, we hope to have him back available for the next match but he won't be there tomorrow. Matheus is an important player and as such he will play tomorrow.

Ivan Juric
Manager on Torino…DEFENCE
It's okay, the whole team works well and everything starts from the attackers. We have to continue like this. Now we work hard on the attack, we can do better.
…SASSUOLO
Sometimes football is strange: Dionisi is good and has many quality players, sometimes things go wrong. But they are dangerous and have talent, so it will be difficult. They had a good spirit, they had many excellent players in all roles and they could score at any time. It's always a battle against them, we will have to defend well.
…KEY PLAYERS
He's a strong and fast player, he's able to determine. Tameze also did well against him in the first match, but they also have others like Volpato and Pinamonti. They have different solutions, Laurienté is the one who gives something extra and breaks the match. Now let's see if Djidji or Tameze will take it.
