Juventus, Thiago Motta officiates another major absence against Milan

Juventus coach Thiago Motta explained in his press conference on the eve of the challenge against Milan announcing another very heavy absence, which further fills the Bianconeri infirmary. Here are his words.

"Vlahovic, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Cabal, Bremer and Adzic will not be there tomorrow. The others are available. We hope to have him with the team as soon as possible. I have confidence in all my players, they know what they will have to do I know they will do it. This è an obligation and a duty. Not an option".

"Tomorrow beautiful game to play, the privileged ones who will be able to do so will give their all. I feel sorry for the injured who cannot help us. They are doing their best to come back soon to help the team. Match in which we all have to give something more. I feel so sorry for Juan that we lost him for so long, like Gleison. Everyone else has to give something more".

“The injured are taking their time to recover from their respective injuries. Both the boys and the medical staff are working hard to make sure they can be back with the group soon. Injuries are part of the game, this time è it was Dusan’s turn. We will play our game by defending together, attacking together and not taking it where it suits Milan: strong individually and as a collective, with a prepared coach. We must try to limit their strengths".

" Today I see a very balanced league and we will see towards the end how it will be". It is good that there is competition among the teams and it is also good for the public. We have to continue like thisì giving our best and trying to make good performances. Juve’s Sinner? I don’t make comparisons, Sinner è a tennis phenomenon, but it’s not part of me to make comparisons. We have many players with ambition and work culture".

“Milan è very strong in transition, they have players with important technical and physical characteristics. We have to pay a lot of attention to their transitions: Leao, Morata, Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek are all quality players; we will have to pay attention to them. We must work collectively, compacting and occupying spaces well".

“Weah? I like everything he does, that he scores goals I like a lot, for the striker è it is important to get to finalize. È a very interesting player because heé gives so many alternatives. He canò play on the right, on the left, as a first forward. He understands what the team needs. We are happy that he is in shape. He has to continue this wayì whether as a starter or as a sub".

“Kalulu? He always wanted to come here. From the first day he è arrived he è made himself available to the group. È capable of covering many positions in defense. È available, è generous. In his own way è a leader: he speaks little but when he does he always does it in the right way and with the right words. He must continue to work as he is doing. He è one of the guys who can keep the level up during all these matches, especially mentally. And he è able to do that, that’s why he plays in Juventus".

“We are analyzing and evaluating the possiiblità of bringing Primavera players to the first team, but always within the scope of merit. If we bring a boy to the first team, the key component è merit. Bringing just to bring does not make sense. We always look at the player's attitude and whether he deserves to go up to the first team".
