“I continue to believe that the performance is the main thing people should look at and if you play good football, the result will come,” noted the Coach in his Press conference.
“However, this is a derby and that means only winning counts. For once, the performance can come second to the result.
“We prepared this fixture well and are really eager to go out there and play with humility and determination.”
Will Juventus be more fired up or depressed at their Champions League exit to Bayern Munich, 4-2 in extra time?
“Juve played at a very high level on Wednesday and I am sure we’ll meet a very angry side. We are Torino and it’d be great to see the Granata heart on that pitch. We must try to overturn every prediction and history tells us anything is possible.
“Earlier this season we deserved to win, but instead lost at the 94th minute. The crowd realised we had given it our all and at the end applauded.
“Torino lost the last few derbies with some refereeing decisions that went against us, but we didn’t kick up a fuss.
“We are fully aware that at times this season we haven’t played like Toro, but the Granata fans should be proud of what we’ve built over these years.
“It’s true Juventus can add three points for the Scudetto, but the game means more to us and victory would be intensely gratifying for our players who have worked so hard since the summer.”
