BIRMINGHAM (ENGLAND) – Thiago Motta he goes straight on his way without changing his words, tone, posture and expression one iota. Having a leader like this helps especially if the squad that needs to be managed has the Achilles heel of being young and therefore can lack personality. But it’s not enough. Why the Juventus And decimated by injuriesreally eight players out with just 14 movement elements available (and in modern football you don’t play with 11 men, because with these rhythms the weight of the substitutions often makes the difference) so tonight, at Villa Park, we will really have to believe in it so as not to go out with broken bones against a team that has so far in the Champions League scored two points more than Juventus thanks to three victories, not all of which were trivial given that, in addition to defeating Bologna and Young Boys, they beat Bayern Munich 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Duran.
Juve decimated, Thiago Motta an ascetic
But Thiago Motta doesn’t let the slightest nervousness shine through, almost assuming an ascetic attitude, of someone who comes into full harmony with his own mantra, his own thoughts, stronger than everything. “Just as I was proud of what the team was able to do in Milan with Milan, taking into account the conditions in which we arrived, I am convinced that even at Aston Villa we will be able to express ourselves at our best, starting with humility. Because I have confidence in myself and I have great confidence in this group of players who know they have to do something more, in light of all those who are now unavailable”. The reason for this very long chain of injuries is unclear, but not too much: “Random? I don’t think so, it happens to many teams and so there must be a reason. But there’s no need to think about it too much, we just have to aim to give our best and do as we did against Milan, a team that, like Aston Villa, is very strong in transitions. Against the English, if they open up, we will have to be quick in attacking, otherwise we will have to wait for the right moment”.
