Torino coach Walter Novellino isn't concerned over his team's defensive frailties.

"I'm not too disappointed," said Novellino. "We play an attacking style that's fun to watch.

"We do need to improve at the back, especially on set-pieces, but it's not the midfield's fault as Eugenio Corini, Vince Grella and Simone Barone have all been good."

On Alvaro Recoba, he added: "He had a good debut.

"He needs to improve physically so that he can help Alessandro Rosina in that zone behind the strikers."
