Mihajlovic proud of Torino fight-back for Fiorentina draw

Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic was delighted with their comeback for the 2-2 draw with Fiorentina.

The Granata were 2-0 down in Florence tonight, but pulled it back to 2-2 despite Andrea Belotti's missed penalty.

“For an hour we didn't turn up," Mihajlovic lamented in his post-match Press conference.

“That meant it was hard to get anything. After the missed penalty it looked like it was only going one way, but we redeemed ourselves and I saw the Torino I wanted.

“I do wonder why we didn't turn up for the first hour, we prepared one game and played another. The game could have been finished after the penalty, but then I saw the Toro I like.

“We'd prepared to press them high, we wanted to cause them problems psychologically because I know what the climate is like in Florence when things are against you, I thought we could take advantage of that.

“In the second half we managed to put things right, [Luca] Rossettini gave greater security to the whole defensive unit, slowly we started to believe in ourselves and we drew.

“The comeback and the reaction were positive, so we'll start again from that."
