Sinisa Mihajlovic warns Torino “need more than just character” and “must learn how to manage games in their entirety” ahead of Cagliari on Saturday.

Torino host Cagliari on the back of three games without a win, which have seen the side drop to seventh in Serie A, level on points with the newly-promoted Sardinians.

“It’s an important game because away from home we’ve dropped points, so we have to improve,” the Coach, prior to his 200th appearance as a top-flight boss in Italy, said at a Press conference.

Torino host Cagliari on the back of three games without a win, which have seen the side drop to seventh in Serie A, level on points with the newly-promoted Sardinians.

“It’s an important game because away from home we’ve dropped points, so we have to improve,” the Coach, prior to his 200th appearance as a top-flight boss in Italy, said at a Press conference.

“Cagliari have the same number of points and possess a good mix of young players and experienced guys like Borriello and Storari.

“We’ll play our game and I’m sorry when only Toro’s grit and character is talked about.

“This is common among all the teams. I just wish other facets of our game were talked about more. Character is important, but you need more than just that.

“Valdifiori and Zappacosta? Castan and Iago Falque will certainly play. As for the others, you’ll see tomorrow.

“Reaching 200 Serie A games as Coach? Maybe I’d have done more, had I not coached Serbia, but I’m very happy and proud for having always done my best as a Coach, sometimes with positive results, others less so, but I always try to improve myself. Better days will come.

“If games lasted 45 minutes, we’d be second? The statistics don’t lie, this means that we’ve never been wrong in our approach, except against Inter, but we must learn how to manage games in their entirety so we have enough energy to do well in the second half. We also need to work on this.”
