The words of Thiago Motta on the eve of Leipzig-Juventus

Thiago Motta spoke in a press conference on the eve of Leipzig-Juventus, the second day of the Champions League: "Good game, open, against a competitive team that plays good soccer and implements good pressure. We have to give continuity to our game for the control of the match. And after that when we have the ball, we have to attack well to put them in trouble".

The Germans, along with the Bianconeri, are the two best defenses in the top 5 European leagues: "The figure means so much, it conveys solidity to us. The two teams not backing down and trying to play on the opponent's mistake, that means so much. Tomorrow we will need a good, complete performance. We need to play good soccer. To do well tomorrow we need to play good soccer, use the ball with great quality, and do very well in the defensive phase as we have done so far, facing different teams".

" It’s not a matter of cup or league. All games are different. It is how we face the opponent. One thing è for sure: we do not want to suffer the opponent's game. We will always try to compete for control of the game. Sometimes we get there, sometimes we don&#39t. We have already shown that we compact. In recovery counterattack or consolidate possession. A team today must be complete, have a strong point, but everyone else must be able to do well".

On Dusan Vlahovic: "He is fine, from the first day of training camp. It is clear that for all strikers è it is important to score, but soccer is not just that. He works so hard, always at his best, in training and in the game. He has to keep working as he is doing. Now the focus è on tomorrow’s game and have the calm head to play his game, to be in tune with his teammates to face a good team".

"No, no doubts about formation. I am very sure of the choices. I can’t tell you.Your certainties today are tomorrow’s? Definitely. If nothing happens. Has anyone told you the formation? It doesn’t change anything for me. The players already know it " concluded Thiago Motta.
