Guus Hiddink dà confidence in Thiago Motta and stings Massimiliano Allegri
During an interview given to the microphones of "Tuttosport", Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, among other topics discussed, bluntly analyzed Juventus’ decision to restart with Thiago Motta after parting ways with Massimiliano Allegri. In addition, the sports executive è commented on the Bianconeri's debut in the Super Champions League against PSV.
"So many players have arrived this summer, some at the close of the market that is; only a couple of weeks ago. You have to give the coach the right amount of time to get all the mechanisms right. I really like Thiago è one who plays attacking like us Dutch, not like Allegri who put a London coach in front of the goal. Soccer è spectacle, goals and play. Motta has to bring joy back to Juventus fans. He's a guy who builds his teams starting from the defensive phase and it's no accident that the Bianconeri are the only ones who have not yet conceded a goal in the league. Even as a player he had already shown great intelligence on the field" began the Dutch coach.
"I am convinced that a move to a club of such great depth as Juventus will allow Koopmeiners to make the definitive leap in quality and become a pivotal part of the Dutch national team. He's very strong physically, has technique, personalityà and game vision. Among other things, he's a serious, friendly, humble guy and has the right head to become a leader in his own right" added the sports executive about the former Atalanta midfielder.
"PSV è lead with full points in the Eredivisie after five days with 20 goals scored and only three conceded. Juventus è started well in Serie A, then suffered a downturn with two consecutive 0-0s. The Champions League, però, è a completely different competition than the league. I think my compatriots will be able to aspire to a draw at most although in soccer anything è possible. PSV, in Europe, plays very offensive soccer, but with too much innocence and naiveté;. I hope that the mistakes made in the past will allow them to face the challenge at the Allianz Stadium" in the right way, Guus Hiddink"ed.
