Juventus manager Thiago Motta spoke to the media prior to their next game against Udinese, discussing a range of subjects such as player health, team output, and their league standing. “I am honored and delighted to be a part of this great club’s history,” Motta said in response to Juventus’ anniversary. I hope today and the future are filled with success. He said, “The boys are doing well” in terms of the team’s preparation. Our last training session before Udine is scheduled for today. They play well at home, so we need to give it our all there. We are focused on the game.
Motta addressed the goals that were given up and underlined the necessity of teamwork, saying, “We need to do better as a team, be compact, and help each other more.” We must reorganize, act aggressively, find gaps in the lines, and give counterattacks as little time and space as possible. “No, it’s not normal,” Motta said in response to a question concerning Dusan Vlahovic’s few ball touches. There is no doubt that Dusan and the others need to improve both offensively and defensively. His impact on the game and his ability to make snap decisions in both offensive and defensive phases are more important than whether he touches more or fewer balls. That is the most important factor. The quality of our work, not its quantity. For him, and for others.
“We need to do much better to be high in the standings, which is the important thing now,” Motta stated clearly in response to Juventus’ sixth-place league finish. We must be certain and determined to play well when we travel to Udine. Motta alluded to the prospect of Vlahovic taking a break in relation to possible player rotation, asking, “Can he rest? It is feasible. It’s also a situation to assess today. I have to admit that the players are doing well and aren’t worn out at this stage of the season. We all need to put in extra effort at this point in order to be ready for the following game.
When asked about Juventus’ Scudetto chances, Motta remained focused on the immediate future: “It’s obvious, no club has ever won the championship now. Do I believe in the Scudetto? We’re thinking about Udinese, improving on every aspect, not just defensive, which is not just individual but collective, and offensive. We all need to do something more and better, for ourselves and for the team.”
Finally, Motta addressed the notion of “Motta’s Juventus”: “I don’t even think about these things, but with all the honesty in the world. It’s not Motta’s Juve, but Juve coached by Motta. These are the facts: it’s evident that we need to improve every day, on every aspect. Focus on what we can do to be a more competitive team, stronger, to face the opponent in the best way.”
