Davide Nicola, the Torino manager, discussed their next two games which are against Lazio on Wednesday and Benevento on Sunday.
“I do care about our strengths, not Lazio’s. They have a quality team, but we must be ourselves,” Nicola said.
"We didn’t manage our energies properly in the last two games. We want everything and we want it now, but we don’t want to burn out. Their [Benevento] draw [against Crotone] changes nothing for us.
"Because we want to earn points. We must be focused and work on ourselves. I don’t care about the others’ results, the most important game for us is the next one.”
