Giampiero Ventura confessed taking Torino into the Europa League knockouts would be “unbridled football lust.”
The Granata are second in Group B and will qualify with a win away to Copenhagen on Thursday at 18.00 GMT.
They can also draw if HJK beat Club Brugge, but then it’d go down to goal difference.
“We want to get through this round with our own strengths,” said Ventura in his Press conference.

“We want to get through this round with our own strengths,” said Ventura in his Press conference.
“There are many players unavailable, but this is a big squad and we have the chance to win tomorrow. We need the same mentality as the first leg or our meeting with Club Brugge.
“I don’t believe Copenhagen will be without motivation. People said the same about HJK Helsinki and then we saw what happened there, they beat us.”
When these sides met in Turin, Fabio Quagliarella’s stoppage-time penalty secured a 1-0 victory.
Ventura famously said he continued to work as a Coach not for money or glory, but for the “lust” of the sport.
“If we were to go forward in the Europa League with the prospect of facing a really important club, that would be unbridled football lust!”
