A very disappointed Thiago Motta after the draw against Venezia, disappointed as never before in the season and in fact he is totally right.
The coach confesses: “We didn’t have a good performance tonight, you can see it from the result. We faced a team that defended very well but we certainly have to do better, every match has its own story, emotional, of responsibility and today we cannot be happy with the performance and the result. We brought the match to our side with the 1-0 so we must continue to move forward, to find solutions in attack to close the match but we didn’t do so and we allowed the other team to come back. in the game There are no justifications at this moment, but those matches were opened against opposing teams who had to take the initiative to win, while today it was a justification, it’s a reality today: after the lead we must continue to attack and have faith in our teammates to close the match and don’t wait for the time to pass to win 1-0. Against certain teams you see this you can’t do it because they continue to attack and look for the result. It’s our reality today and we need to improve. We cannot be happy with our moment in the league after today’s match and this was not the result we were looking for. We, at this moment, needed to give a better performance and a different result. I have never talked about the Scudetto and this is not the time to talk. Now it’s time to change with the next game. We need to change this story. It’s not a delicate match. It became delicate because we weren’t able to do what we were supposed to do. We took the lead and we had to try to close out the game, we didn’t succeed and we gave life to our opponent.”
Juve doesn’t take risks: “Certainly when they have to go and play today’s match, I repeat today, you have to look for risks, but we had some difficulties. They tried to take away space from us and we found it difficult to create scoring opportunities to close the game.”
Motta also talks about the situation with the fans: “The fans have the freedom to express their emotions and their sensations. When the match ends the players themselves are the first ones who want to win and change things, but for me the moment doesn’t exist It happens, it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. We must be united and continue to move forward, for the good of Juventus and the team, we all want to change this situation and the players are the first to want it Fans are free to express their feelings but it’s time to stay united and together to change this situation because I think it’s normal, because the frustration exists on everyone’s part, the first players, because they know perfectly well that we can do better. We have to stay united, together and think. already in the next match to change history. History says that when we find ourselves with teams that attack less or that don’t need the result as much and we have to take the initiative, we have a little more difficulty with the things that I said before: there are fewer spaces, less playing time and we have to arrive well in those areas of the game and close the game. Today we took the lead, it got a little better, but we weren’t able to close it out.”
The situation now is very delicate, draws are half defeats or we win again or it will be the end.
