Torino coach Mihajlovic: We can beat anyone!

Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic hailed victory over Palermo.

The Granata went a goal behind early on, but responded in emphatic fashion with an Adem Ljajic brace, Marco Benassi and Daniele Baselli firing them to victory.

“We need to keep our feet on the ground and keep working," Mihajlovic began in his pre-match Press conference.

“But playing like this we can beat anyone. We had a strong game, we conceded a goal to their first chance but then we reacted.

“The only thing I didn't like is the way we relaxed after the fourth goal, that shouldn't happen because you should always play with the same intensity from start to finish.

“It's easier to handle wins than to handle defeats, but we have to stay down to earth and continue like this, without getting big-headed and thinking we've already arrived.

“I've already said I didn't like the relaxation after the fourth goal, and that must never happen again.

“Milan, Inter and Napoli have more quality than us, but with our spirit and determination we can get deserved wins, as we've already shown at home two teams who are stronger than us [Fiorentina and Roma].

“As I said at the start, the ambition of my two-year contract is to get into Europe, and we have the possibility of doing it this year even though there are stronger teams than us.

“We need to keep going like this, taking it a game at a time and knowing there will be defeats to deal with as well as more wins."
