Tomorrow, Juventus will face Torino in Serie A, as part of the legendary Derby della Mole. On the eve of this match, Thiago Motta spoke at a press conference.
What match to expect?
« As always, we witnessed a complicated match in the first leg. It’s a special match for us, for our supporters and for the club. We are looking forward to this match, a match we want to win. I understand all points of view: in these 26 matches we have only had two defeats with a young team, we have had good performances, a few too many draws and a few injuries, which is not not an alibi. I thank everyone who works hard. We always aim for victory. »
Continuity is needed:
« We need to give continuity to the victories. That’s why the boys and we work hard every day for these moments. This is one of our needs. »
Le leadership :
« The coach has influence, but being a leader in a locker room is not the coach’s responsibility, it’s between them. Today we have many leaders and space for more leaders to emerge. Gratitude comes from teammates, that’s what matters. The coach observes and sees, he tries to help and show the right path to becoming a leader, especially by example. There is always room for new leaders to emerge. »
Defense concerns:
-« We concede goals because we make mistakes and because of our opponents. Our requirement to achieve final victory is to make as few mistakes as possible, to create more and to finish better, and this is our way of doing things. Today we are improving every day in training to be ready. »
The market:
« Our requirement today is tomorrow, it is to deliver a great performance. It’s a very important match for us and for the supporters. »
The month of January is crucial:
« I talk every day with the team, I talk about the moment, our situation, what we will find in the match, the scenarios we will have to face. All moments are important, from the first to the last match. The next one is the most important and we devote all our energy and focus to it. We’ve had almost a full week of work, a little more time to practice and talk, we’re ready to play our game to get the win. »
The absent players:
« Bremer, Cabal, Milik, Vlahovic, Conceicao et Locatelli will not be there. »
