The coach making his debut on the Granata bench: “I’m pleased that the two attackers scored. Before the match I only pointed out that they weren’t demonstrating their value”
A clear success and never in doubt, three important points: Roberto D’Aversa’s debut on the Turin bench couldn’t have gone better. “For 70 minutes we played an excellent match. I made the boys understand why I came here to Turin and why they weren’t demonstrating their value – says the coach to Sky – I’m pleased that the two attackers scored, but I’m happy that the team has assimilated the three concepts that I gave them before the match. The two midfielders also gave a great performance, but all the boys performed well.

“Simeone and Zapata played an impressive game. Giovanni played as an attacking midfielder because we knew we could find spaces between the lines. During the week they showed me that they can play together, the choice was simple. Vlasic is a complete player and can play multiple roles, he also has potential as a playmaker and in the defensive phase – added D’Aversa – I must also congratulate those who didn’t come on because they wanted to participate in the victory. The credit goes to the team. I must say that both midfielders made a great match. I only let Gineitis out because of the yellow, but he had an excellent performance like the rest of the team. I thought about changing him but then he showed his true value.”
