Giampiero Ventura believes Torino did all they could against “form team Lazio” and looks ahead to Zenit.
The Granata were beaten 2-0 on home turf this evening by a Felipe Anderson brace, their third consecutive defeat in all competition.
“We put in a good performance against the form team in Serie A right now, who after all put four goals past Fiorentina last week,” Ventura told reporters.
Giampiero Ventura believes Torino did all they could against “form team Lazio” and looks ahead to Zenit.
The Granata were beaten 2-0 on home turf this evening by a Felipe Anderson brace, their third consecutive defeat in all competition.
“We put in a good performance against the form team in Serie A right now, who after all put four goals past Fiorentina last week,” Ventura told reporters.
“We made three mistakes and conceded two goals. This is Lazio, they have a lot of quality. I remain satisfied, though, as we worked as a team and had chances to equalise when it was 1-0.
“We were also tired, as we’ve played more games than any other side in Italy this season. I want to compliment my team, even if we lost.”
Torino lost the first leg of their Europa League tie 2-0 to Zenit and host the Russians on Thursday evening.
“We can get many players back in shape for that game and hopefully Giuseppe Vives too,” added Ventura.
“It will be a Toro side that wants to fight for the win. We have a negative result to overturn, but that came about mainly because of the early red card.”
