Ivan Juric hailed ‘fundamental’ Torino defender Gleison Bremer, who completely neutralised Dusan Vlahovic in a 4-0 victory over Fiorentina.
This game was meant to be on Sunday, but was rescheduled after an appeal lodged by the Lega Serie A had the team taken out of their quarantine following a COVID-19 outbreak.
Despite missing several players and being forced to debut a teenager in goal, the Granata still ran out with a 4-0 victory thanks to a Josip Brekalo brace, Wilfried Singo and Antonio Sanabria.
“It was a great game from the first to the last minute,” the coach told DAZN.
“Fiorentina had really impressed me this season and had such strong players, which just goes to show how splendid my lads were today.
“I have seen improvements in training pass on to the match situation lately, we raised the quality level and move the ball better than we did before. In order to score goals, you need to show technique and our team moves today were splendid.”
They also managed to completely neutralise Serie A top scorer Vlahovic, who was marked out of the game by Bremer, another player earning a lot of attention on the transfer market.
“Bremer is a fundamental player for us. Seeing such a difference in the squad after five months of work really is very pleasing.”
The centre-back has been linked with amongst others Milan, Napoli, Everton, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, but Torino have no intention of losing the Brazilian mid-season.
Juric had a message for midfielder Tomas Rincon, who left Torino to join Sampdoria on loan last week.
“I want to thank Rincon, because he is a wonderful man who helped a great deal, but he was penalised in terms of playing time by the emergence of Sasa Lukic.”
