Giampiero Ventura was furious with reporters after Torino’s 0-0 draw at Club Brugge, warning they’d “eat their words.”
The Granata had not played in a major European competition for over 20 years, but began with a point in Belgium.
“I say enough to criticism that is done regardless of the situation and is not constructive,” blasted the 66-year-old Coach in his Press conference.
“With this spirit and attitude, the team can do well. Today we played with character despite having many who were 20 or 21 years old. It is the approach of the club to give these young players experience in Europe.”
Torino have not scored in any of their last three competitive games against Inter, Sampdoria” data-scaytid=”7″>Sampdoria and Club Brugge, but when asked about the lack of chances created, Ventura lost his temper.
“I had to explain for three months why I’d have kept Immobile, then you saw why. I then had to explain why I’d have fielded Cerci in attack, then you saw why.
“I already know that I will receive the same criticism as last year, but once again at the end of the season you will have to eat your words.
“I’ll tell you what, the day we have a shot on target, I’ll call a Press conference. Goodbye.”
