Guest of Maracanatransmission of TMW Radiowas the director Xavier Jacobelli.

Juve winning and convincing in Leipzig:
“A feat that brings back memories of Juve’s golden times. Motta’s team imposed itself with its play, which it did not hesitate to do despite the disadvantages, the denied penalty and the injuries suffered. It is a team, the Juventus team, which gave the impression of having marked a turning point in its present and future. Matches like this, especially in the Champions League, mean being aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses.”

Great team attitude shown by Juve:
“It’s a team response that has its roots in the clarity of the coach. Motta doesn’t contemplate a place being guaranteed to anyone. He doesn’t look in the face of anyone, see Danilo or Douglas Luiz for example. The valorisation of the youth of the team is also important Next Gen, going to Leipzig by inserting Savona means being comforted by his form and above all having a lot of confidence in him. And this gives the group an awareness that the coach looks at his physical conditions and nothing else.”

What tunnel did Conceicao make…
“We, this player who is only 21 years old, is someone who had already shown himself at the European Championship. He should have been a strong point of Leipzig, given that he had made an offer in the summer, but he preferred Juve. And this is a sign of how much the Juventus club is regaining consideration at an international level.”

Vlahovic on the shields once again:
“I think we must always remember, especially to critics, that when a great striker suffers a lull in performance, it doesn’t mean he has fallen into an irreversible crisis. The numbers say it, he has 47 goals in 109 appearances at Juve, what are we talking about “Why always question him when he doesn’t score. It’s obvious that it’s up to Motta to put him in the best position to perform.” .

Atalanta, the victory of redemption:
“We saw something already in the second half in Bologna. It’s a profoundly renewed team, which showed up in Germany with several defections and lost two more men on the pitch. Despite this, however, it has a squad with two starters in each role. When you win away in the Champions League in that way you find the awareness that has made Atalanta the revelation of recent years. Now Atalanta must resume the race in the championship, but the responses received in Europe are very positive.”

Bologna losing but with heads held high against Liverpool:
“Despite being the underdog, she honored her commitment, she showed personality despite going down immediately. It is necessary to pair Castro with another striker, yesterday’s match also demonstrated this. It is clear that this is still a work in progress , this match was awaited with anxiety, because it was feared he would not be able to withstand the shock, but also with enthusiasm. I believe that particular praise should be given to Saputo, who is approaching 10 years of presidency in Bologna and has kept his promise to. bring the club back to Europe”.
