Giampiero Ventura said Torino “would’ve felt regrets with a draw,” let alone their 2-1 defeat to Juventus.
The Granata thought they had ended their Derby della Mole curse, but at the last minute Andrea Pirlo smashed in the winner for 10-man Juve.
“Of course it hurts, but you gain experience in every match and we could so easily have thrown the ball away or even taken it forward. You learn through these incidents, you can’t do it by talking.
“In all honesty, we would’ve felt regrets even with a draw, as we had so many chances to win at the Juventus Stadium.
“On the other hand, I see it as a huge step forward. Just 48 hours ago we played a great performance against Club Brugge, then came here and had another great game in which Gillet didn’t have to make a save.
“I feel bad for the players and the fans. I feel bad for me too, as I could finally have gone to the Olimpico in Rome and not be insulted by Roma fans who every time say I make life easy for Juve!”
Ventura got into a shouting match with a Torino supporter in the stands after the final whistle.
“I am the calmest man in the world, but when I saw a fan insulting the players who fought hard for 90 minutes at the Juventus Stadium and came so close to victory... I lost my mind.
“I wanted to tell him, you are no longer allowed to be a Torino fan or come to the stadium, because you’ve lost the right to talk about growth and planning if you insult players after that performance.
“Of course I regret behaving like that, but there has to be respect for the players. Going back, I should’ve just gone into the locker room and closed myself in, but I had a moment of rage. I apologise of anyone who saw that was offended.”
