Andrea Belotti insists the Torino players are firmly behind coach Walter Mazzarri as “we showed this team are still alive” against Juventus.

Another derby defeat to the Old Lady at the Grande Torino has put Mazzarri under pressure and the Granata are still without a win in Serie A since the 2-1 victory over Milan in late September.

Despite that, Belotti reassured his boss he still had the full support of the club’s dressing room to come through this difficult spell.

“We confronted ourselves and some of us have let out what we kept inside,” the striker told Corriere Torino.

“After speaking about it, we have understood and got to know each other better. We have released ourselves from bad thoughts and, against Juventus, we showed this team are still alive.

“The whole squad are still behind Mazzarri, we always have been. And on the pitch against Juventus, we demonstrated this.”

Torino desperately need to bounce back this weekend against Brescia, given they are just four points off the teams inside the relegation zone.
