Thiago Motta spoke to Sky Sport after the match against Atalanta. Here are his words taken from TuttoJuve.com:
McKennie and Kalulu were very angry, are you angry too?
“We are certainly not happy with the result and in fact you can see the faces of our players. But we must recognize the effort made and recognize the performance made by these guys. I thank them for this effort, I do it internally, but I also do it externally. Today they played a great match together.”
Today you played like against Milan. But today you have created a lot
“We haven’t had great performances since today, they have always been there. These guys give their all in every game. I don’t have to repeat myself: we know the moment we’ve been through and are going through, but these guys continue to provide important performances. We did what was needed and Kalulu’s great goal didn’t come by chance: it was a collective action in which everyone participated. We certainly shouldn’t be happy with the draw, we always want to win, but it’s my obligation to recognize it performance of these guys.”
How and when do you decide Yildiz’s position both at the start and during the match?
“He can also change during the match, what he has to do in each position both in attack and defense. Today he demonstrated it again. We always have the right spirit, these guys always have it, not just today. It’s true that we drew a lot and we are not happy, we cannot and must not be happy because these guys always work to win. Sometimes we have won and other times we have not been able to do so.”
Kolo Muani has accepted Juventus
“I’m not talking about the transfer market. Can he play with Vlahovic? Dusan is recovering and I hope he can be available for the next match. He has a problem in the back and we have to be careful not to lose him for a long time and now we have to prepare for the next match.”
