“The objective and the market for 2025? No, I’m only thinking of Fiorentina. Everything else doesn’t count!”. Thiago Motta, after the victory in Monza and the end of the draw, sees only “purple”. If successful, the Bianconeri would overtake the Tuscans, who have a game to recover. “Tomorrow’s match against Fiorentina – underlines the Juventus coach – is important and we are only thinking about that, we know that it is also felt by our fans. We are fine, we have recovered several men and now we are focused on improving and playing a match right against a strong team. Palladino is a very prepared coach, he also did well in Monza. Fiorentina, if you leave them space, knows how to play football well and is very dangerous in transitions. We will need a great balance to impose our game but Also to not give the opponents a restart. Possession is enough to win, then if you keep the ball more you have a better chance of getting the result.
market and… danilo

Not even the reopening of negotiations seems to distract Motta. Last match of the calendar year and last stage of Serie A with the transfer market closed. Shopping starts again on January 2nd. “Is it better to reinforce them immediately or is it better to wait for a stronger one at the end of the month? Now – the coach reiterates – we are focused only on Fiorentina. We are on the same line with the club: if there is the possibility of strengthening the team, we will do so at the right time . Danilo on the transfer market? He and everyone else are thinking about Fiorentina, we will discuss it at the right time. When the market opens, we know it will have to be managed in the right way.”

Meanwhile, 2024 is coming to an end and the list of those unavailable is getting shorter. “For Fiorentina we will get Danilo and Douglas back. And there will also be Koopmeiners and Nico, who trained with the group today after two days of separate training. We still have to wait for Rouhi, Milik, Weah, Bremer and Cabal”. The most awaited is Douglas Luiz, once again among the squad after the many lows and physical problems of recent months: “I believe and hope that Douglas – continues Motta – will return to the one seen in the Premier League. As a midfielder he can do everything: he is complete and of a high level, but must find continuity.” From Douglas Luiz to Vlahovic, Juventus’ top scorer: “He must continue to work as he is doing. This applies to him and to the team. If Dusan continues like this he has a great chance of growing a lot.” Closing on set pieces: “We have Koopmeiners who is a specialist.”
