Paolo Vanoli’s words after the draw with Genoa

Paolo Vanoli, Torino coach, commented on the draw with Genoa in a press conference: “It’s been a hard-fought game. I knew it would be a difficult field. In the first half we were more lucid but less productive. In the second we were good at trying to go after, stressing their defensive line, some crosses. We è lacked the drive. If Vojvoda puts in that ball you play in a different way”.

“Lacked courage? No, in my opinion we went to catch them well, maybe in the conquest of the ball we were not clean – added the granata coach – We need to improve this aspect. At the tactical level we played a good game. Now we have found stability at the defensive level and now it is my job è to find the chemistry between the forwards”.

“Change the defense? I have always been honest in what I look at. When there are good performances, you move forward with your ideas. Today we found a good square, today I saw the fifths not standing on their defensive line forò we put them in troubleà”.

On Vlasic’s exclusion: “He was fine. It was a technical choice because it was a dirty game. In the midfield we worked really well and it was a department I wanted to touch as little as possible. I didn’t want to lose that balance that gave me Linetty, Gineitis and Ricci”.

” I am convinced that they still have room for improvement. But not only on the field. These are all particulars that have to help you grow. You canò give more. Sometimes the tunnels you enter lead you to frenzy and want to get out at all costs. This è the moment we are going through. Tonight I saw a team that wants to get out at all costs” concluded Vanoli.
