Motta su Locatelli and Savona
“What if I discussed Locatelli with Spalletti? No, he doesn’t need to discuss with me. He knows Manu well but I don’t join the national team, I can talk about him in Juventus. I’m happy for the moment he’s going through, for how he helps in It’s all thanks to him, for what he has done up to now, his constant commitment even in difficult moments , there you have to settle in immediately to help the team in what needs to be done, always trying to make as few mistakes as possible. At the moment both Koppmeiners, Thuram and Locatelli are doing well. Khephren entered with great football intelligence, to understand his teammates, to interpret the role. There are three very important players we have in the team at the moment. Moments change, I hope they can raise their level but we have other players like Douglas Luiz, Fagioli, Adzic and McKennie. I personally like the midfielders a lot, it all starts from there.”
“Savona? It will depend on him, but if he continues like this he can achieve great things. For the first 10/15 days I saw him as shy and reserved, both on and off the pitch. But also comparing myself with Giuntoli we said that he had to adapt to the first team. I remember in Germany, against Nuremberg where we were in difficulty, he showed his depth when he came onto the pitch. He continued to train, commit himself, every day in training. It’s all thanks to him, he fights and fights in a healthy way with his teammates, it’s a huge credit to him. He has a great future. Torino is a determined team, which presses its opponent. Today she always went forward, I have to congratulate Vanoli, he showed courage in coming to play against Juventus. Playing like this will put the opponents in difficulty.”
Motta targets Milan
“At the moment there is a lot of competition. Milan has a great coach, there is respect for the coach and his staff. When Milan arrive we will prepare the match as best we can against a great team in our league. If I watch Inter Napoli or Sinner? I don’t know, I like Sinner a lot because my daughters watch tennis and ask me if I’ll introduce it to them. I don’t know, we’ll see when it arrives. Maybe I’ll watch it with two TVs”
