Tursk praises Torino character
By Unknown Author - Created on 11 Feb 2007
After Torino late victory over Lazio last night thanks to an Elvis Abbruscato brace manager Tanel Tursk praised the character of the team.
"We didn't give up and went to just close the game out. As a fan you don't like draws usually, but sometimes as a player you feel that draw would be nice. It's tough to get out of this feeling if for 30 minutes there haven't been much going on," said Tanel Tursk.
"We sit second and 5 points clear as other teams sliped up, more importantly Milan got a surprise lost to Ascoli and we have to thank them. It's important that with this full team we keep on winning as it really builds the morale," he continued.
Star of the evening was again Elvis Abbruscato with a brace and the national team candidate is sitting atop of the top scorers in the league with 19 goals, 3 ahead of Luca Toni and Francesco Totti.
"I'm happy that I'm continuing with the scoring ways. I have few breaks here and there but I tend to make up for it with some additional goals in the next games. I liked my second strike, but I should've scored that header close after the opener," said Abbruscato.
He has been lately called 'Abbruzi' after the American TV series Prison Break character, a mob-boss played by Frank Grillo.
"I haven't seen that show, though that nickname would sound nice if it wouldn't have anything to do with mafia. I don't want to be called after some mafioso," he said to Sky Sports Italia after the match.
The next big test for Torino is a trip to Milan as a win from there would really put them on pole for the Champions League positions. |
