“The first 20 minutes were excellent, then Venezia changed to 3-4-3 and immediately punted it forward, so at those moments we had to hold out," Torino manager Ivan Juric said after their defeat to Venezia.
"We suffered in that period, conceded straight after the restart, the lads gave everything and just lacked sharpness in some situations. Venezia sat back very deep after taking the lead.
"They were very aggressive for 20 minutes and we struggled to create chances, having a lot of pressure and corners and set plays, but couldn’t score the goal. It was a battle, it was decided on incidents, congratulations to Venezia.”
The last meeting between Juventus and Torino in a league game was on 2 October 2021.
Juventus had to dig deep for a 1-0 win over Torino in a match that was played at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
