Giampiero Ventura saw Torino with “the desire to play football and enjoy ourselves” in the 5-1 victory at Udinese.

The Granata had nothing to play for and that may well have helped compared to the overly-tense Friulani.

“We put in a good performance with the desire to play football and enjoy ourselves,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

Giampiero Ventura saw Torino with “the desire to play football and enjoy ourselves” in the 5-1 victory at Udinese.

The Granata had nothing to play for and that may well have helped compared to the overly-tense Friulani.

“We put in a good performance with the desire to play football and enjoy ourselves,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“Our season could’ve gone very differently, but we wanted to send out the image of joy and entertainment. Udinese went two goals down early on and spiralled into a crisis, so it got easier for us from that stage.

“I hope Udinese all the best and to stay in Serie A, as I am still very fond of the club and the Pozzo family.”

Josef Martinez has been guilty of some absolute howlers, but he bagged a brace today.

“We waited a long time for Martinez and he is finally realising what is needed to emerge in Serie A. He must work to improve and today was a big step forward.

“Andrea Belotti has now set a new personal best for the season. I saw the right Toro hunger today and enjoyed myself too.”

Nonetheless, a certain set of fans and media want Ventura to leave this summer.

“One week they say I’m renewing, another they say I’m leaving. Let’s see. We started working together five years ago. Urbano Cairo gave me the opportunity to play football in a certain way and I hope to have repaid him.

“As for the fans, if that section represents five per cent it’s different to representing 95 per cent. What matters is the Toro heart that lives on.

“What matters is that Torino get back to where they belong, which is on the edge of or in Europe. You either get there with big investments or planning to build a young and competitive side.”
