HIGHLIGHTS – REPORT CARD – RANKING

Juventus returns to winning ways and beats per 2-1 il Monza thanks to goals from McKennie and Nico Gonzalez. Analyzing the performance of the Bianconeri is Thiago Motta to Dazn: “We have almost always suffered against teams that close down and start again. For us it was important to close the game. Facing teams and matches in which we have to control the game and going on attack is an aspect that is part of our growth. In the second half they attacked and we closed down, but we didn't do well in transitions. We had a chance to restart but we weren't able to do it well.” Come on Nico Gonzalez e McKennie: “They are two players who are also very willing to play in different roles. They are high level guys who always have the right attitude. It's a pleasure for me to be able to coach two guys like that.”

“Nico Gonzalez has something special”

Then, always up Nico Gonzalezin particular on the role of attacking midfielder (in which he played this evening): “Nico can do it perfectly. He is a player who has already played there. When someone knows how to play different roles it means that there's something about special and he is part of this category of footballers. He can play on the left, on the right, but I see him doing well in that position too. He is convinced he can do well there. Let's see in the next matches.”

“You have to think game by game”

The next matches in the championship for Juventus will be against Fiorentina, Turin, Atalanta, Milan and Naples. But for Motta there are no doubts: “The calculations will be made at the end of the season – he explained –. Now let's go out into the field thinking game by game and to face every opponent with respect to the fullest”.
