Juventus, Thiago Motta shoots straight and doesn’t change his mind
The technician’s vision contrasts with that of Captain Locatelli
Juventus, like Milan and Atalanta, è out of the Champions League. Fatal was the defeat, in the play-off return match, on the field of PSV. Among the culprits, of course, Thiago Motta is also mentioned, guilty of not having read the match properly and failing to change the team's attitude on the run, thanks to some changes that many fans did not like.
The Bianconeri coach, in the post match, did not back down at all, defending his actions. First and foremost, he distanced himself from the statements of Bianconeri captain Locatelli ("They played better, they wanted moreù the qualification. They deserved to win"), then he reiterated, firmly, his convictions.
"We tried but we were not able to be better than them. Would I do it all over again? Sì. Sunday there'è a very important game in Cagliari on a difficult field. Now we need to digest a defeat that hurts a lot but è part of the job", his words to Prime Video.
On social media, most Bianconeri fans point the finger at Thiago Motta and his handling of the match. So many don't understand the coach's initial formation choices but especially the changes. The'elimination è a hard blow for the new Bianconeri project.
