Juventus defender De Ligt finds positives after Torino draw

Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt feels they can take positives from their 1-1 draw with Torino.

De Ligt opened the scoring before Andrea Belotti found an equaliser for Toro.

De Ligt said, "The derby is a very important game for the city and the fans. Alex Sandro did very well, now we have three central players who are injured and Danilo was disqualified.

“It was an emergency moment but he did very well. We had a lot of desire to score goals, Danilo scored a goal like that against Atalanta too."

He also spoke of Belotti's equaliser.

“With crosses it's very important that the two centre-backs are inside, this was a strange game because Torino, especially on the left, attacked with four men and we were three and sometimes you have to go out. When he went out, I had to go in and help my teammates."

He added: “There is no worry, we have played many games with many players out. We have a lot of quality, I'm not worried but we'll look at who will be ready to play."
