“Beautiful calendar. Koopmeiners? Special”
Thiago Motta, after the statements on Daznalso spoke in the press room with the journalists present: “We had an excellent match. Well done in the first half, while in the second half we were able to defend ourselves and try to restart quickly: a deserved victory“. On the group instead: “All good, they deserve compliments, even those who go to the bench. We have a team at our disposal with many strong players: with all the matches we play, each of them will have the opportunity to express themselves. Today was good from start to finish. Clearly we all need to improve, myself first and foremost both in preparing for matches and in putting my players in a position to express themselves at their best. We can grow, but today we did well, even in the re-attacks: in the first half we were good at not allowing them to restart. After the disallowed goal, did Udinese believe in it more? Clearly the unconfirmed goal can give you the feeling of danger, but we continued to do what we needed to win, and doing it well. Today we did everything well, even tactically“.
From the group we move on to individuals, how Buyers: “The goal will come for him too, he is a special footballer for what he transmits to all his teammates. Today I would have liked to replace him, but I couldn’t because he does a lot of good for the team, and I also didn’t see him suffering from a physical point of view. He is a different player, we are happy to have him“. He was another great protagonist of the day Thuram: “Excellent performance, he is a midfielder different from the others. From a technical point of view he did well, a complete match: he deserves it, for the way he is focused on his work. Where can he express himself best? He needs his physique to play at this level, but being a little taller or shorter on the pitch changes little: he is responsible, he defends, he attacks. He can do a little more when he is a few meters ahead“. Has the victory taken some pressure off Juve after the last week? Motta is clear: “The responsibility remains the same, we are Juventus. But this is an incentive, we play to win. Now we have to think about Lille: they will play with great intensity, we will have to be determined“. And speaking of upcoming commitments: “Now a beautiful calendar awaits us. There are many games in this month of November and the players are happy“.
