“The feeling is that there has been a change starting from the technical guide who has different ideas and philosophy from the previous one, with the hope that the novelty can be noticed right away”. Speaking thus of Juventus Thiago Motta he was the former Juventus defender now assistant coach of Ascoli, Sergio Porrini. “His philosophy is that of playing football and building from the goalkeeper’s possession phase, with these continuous exchanges of players where you sometimes struggle to consider the function of the central defender in possession of the ball and we saw this well last year with Calafiori”.
More on Motta: “There was always the desire to play the game with ball possession, never to counterattack even if the opponent was stronger. These ideas are at the antipodes of the recent past, we will then have to understand if Thiago Motta will be able to put them into practice here at Juventus”, he said to AllJuve.
But he warned: “When there is a change in management, it is never easy to learn straight away. Every coach brings something new, there is a summer preparation so that ideas are instilled through work. Given the results obtained by Motta in Bologna, I am sure that the Juventus players will be able to learn the new game mechanisms”.
