Torino coach Ivan Juric was left frustrated after their 1-0 defeat to Juventus.

Manuel Locatelli grabbed the only goal of the Derby della Mole.

“It was a great first half, we could've hurt Juve with more quality, but we didn't," Juric told DAZN.

Juventus then raised the tempo and we kept up for a while, but not the whole way. Unfortunately, with injuries we are forced to play some out of position and try to move them into new roles. It's difficult, we were missing Djidji as well in defence today, but above all were without forwards.

“In any case, there are many areas where we need to improve in our passing, our movement and technique. It's a pity, because for long periods we did play really well.

“We don't really know the approach yet, as in the first half we dominated on the left flank, but we should've pushed more down the right when they moved Bernardeschi. We don't yet have the sharpness to understand those moments and adjust.

“We were superior in the first half, had to adapt the way they did at half-time, but didn't recognise what we needed to do.

“Plus we were up against Juve, a side with great players and once they raised the tempo, it became difficult. The regrets are the first half, as we kept robbing the ball, allowed Juve very few passes in a row, but didn't make the most of it."
