“Juve are not doing well at the moment and it’s a good opportunity for us,” Bremer told La Repubblica newspaper.
“Davide Nicola is a great motivator and has started firing us up, but we also know that we have to step onto the pitch feeling calm and focused.
“We have great players on paper, but so far our performances and results on the pitch have not reflected that. I think we struggled also because we started the season with a new coach and a completely different playing style, but had very little pre-season preparation.
“Nobody needs to ask if Toro are motivated, because relegation would be a stain on us all.”
Bremer made his debut in a Turin Derby and it went well until the final minutes.
“Walter Mazzarri proved that he believed in me and wasn’t afraid to start me in a derby, even if it was the toughest game and I hadn’t played until then.
“Fortunately we managed a draw, because if we had lost that, I never would’ve forgiven myself. I lost the marking on Cristiano Ronaldo and he scored for 1-1. I should’ve done better.”
Nonetheless, his performances for Torino have sparked consistent reports of interest from Liverpool.
“I do find it amusing, because everyone talks about this, but I know nothing about it,” smiled Bremer.
“It’s also an urban legend that Jurgen Klopp came over to personally congratulate me after a pre-season friendly.”
