"From the start, we were lacking the ability to shoot, make the last pass, the right final ball. You have to be careful not to concede goals at this temperature, because you are lacking in energy. The match was decided by an avoidable goal. The energy was a little lower in this temperature, and everything became more difficult. Overall, we didn't play a bad game, we did well on the pitch. We could have sped up a little more in our movement of the ball."
"Dybala had a small physical problem, so he had to come off. Let's hope it's nothing too serious."
Roma were beaten 1-0 by Torino at the Stadio Olimpico as Giovanni Simeone scored a superb winner just before the hour mark. Roma registered 22 shots and an xG of 1.3 but failed to score and dropped their first points of the campaign, missing a chance to move level with Napoli and Juventus. Manager Giovanni Gasperini cited late player returns from international duty and high temperatures for reduced energy levels and an avoidable goal. Gasperini fielded a lightweight attack with Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule; Dybala limped off at halftime and the injury is under assessment.
