The words of Thiago Motta
After the late success against Como, Juventus è awaited the crucial Champions League playoff first leg match against PSV Eindhoven. Among the various topics discussed in the press conference, Bianconeri coach Thiago Motta tried to identify the key factors to bring home success and qualification to the next round.
"It's an important challenge that will have to be played to the maximum. We will have to be flawless in our pace of play, intensity and dynamism. We will have to play a complete game to qualify. PSV è a young team that plays good soccer and presses very high. In the first match we suffered their ball possession, so we will have to be ready to face and compete with them in every situation" began the coach of the bianconeri.
"A lot has changed since the first time we met. The resilience of the team è increased, I like to see how they train and coexist. Tomorrow, we will have to do better in every aspect to bring home a positive result. Everyone has to raise their level and put their qualities at the service of the team" continued the former Bologna coach.
"When you are Juve all matches are important. Our moment è good, with all the difficulties è passed, è also increased our resilience, because we showed against Como that we can win even playing worse than our opponent. It's been a positive thing, but it's not from there that we have to restart, sinceé è playing better than your rival that increases your chances" of winning,& added the bianconeri coach.
"Kolo Muani è was very good, but so were his teammates who put him in a position to be soì decisive. The individual alone goes nowhere, then he with his qualities; he raises the level of the group, as well as many others. Vlahovic I see him as determined and motivated as all the others. Regardless of the minutes, what è important è is quality; and if Dusan tomorrow is called upon I have no doubt that he will help us. He's a very important player for us and one we are counting on so much for the future" concluded Thiago Motta.
