Juventus lost against AC Milan last night, following two goals conceded in the second half…After this defeat, Thiago Motta spoke out to give his feelings.
The defeat against AC Milan:
« We can't be satisfied, especially in the first half, but also in the second half we didn't close the game. Milan created little but we conceded two goals. In every game we have to be good in both phases, but especially in a game like this we needed to close the game and we weren't able to do that. »
The context of the defeat:
« A significant defeat, it was a match we had a great chance of winning to reach the final. I'm sorry, today, from my point of view we had a great opportunity to beat Milan. »
There is frustration:
« We are sorry for what we did, we need to improve. It was a controlled match, the first half was good and we had to finish it. Then there was an incident, which can happen in any match, but you have to react, and today we didn't know how to do it. We wanted the final, we had it in hand until the 70th minute. The situations are different, in the league with Fiorentina, it happened a bit like today, we were superior. Other times we drew without creating enough, other times we were at a disadvantage and showed character to come back. Not today, we took the advantage but with so few resources, the opponent managed to pull himself together and win. There are episodes that happen, but today the reaction was not good. »
The injury of Francisco Conceiçao:
« We will evaluate him, he had some discomfort and could not start the match. For us, it's important, in the second half Kenan could have come on, that was the idea: manage the playing time of the two guys who play a lot and finish the match. »
