Roma secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Torino at the Stadio Olimpico, with Paulo Dybala’s goal, aided by a deflection from Masina, proving decisive. The win was vital for Roma and manager Ivan Juric following their 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina. After the match, Juric shared his thoughts on the team’s performance and the significance of the result.
Juric began by praising his team’s effort: “The boys did well, it went well. After Florence, there were difficult moments. Now we must only think about playing football. We need to stay focused: today we conceded very little. I did some decent things, if I want to regain the trust of the public, I need these performances.”
Discussing the midfield pairing of Kone and Le Fèe, Juric said: “They’re a good couple: the first has great strength, the second is very intelligent. Each has their own characteristics, they moved the ball well. Pellegrini? He came on as a captain. I hope to recover Dovbyk for Sunday. I used Lorenzo (Pellegrini) in a false nine position, I hope it went well.”
The Roma manager emphasized the importance of the victory: “It was important to get back on the right track, we faced a team that’s not easy to play against. We need to make our fans enjoy football again.”
