Juventus dominates, but comes away with only one point from the away match against Lille. The Bianconeri achieved an important draw on a difficult pitch, but paid dearly for the only defensive error that led to David’s goal. Juventus rises to 7 points in the standings, but returns to Turin with the disappointment of having thrown away the chance to win the match. All that remains is the performance of Thiago Motta’s men who will now have to immediately recover their energy for the Derby della Mole, which will be played on Saturday, at 8.45pm, at the Allianz Stadium.
Thiago Motta only disappointed by the result.
Thiago Motta analyzed his Juventus’ performance against Lille like this: “We wanted another result, we created the conditions to obtain it, but it ended 1-1. Having said that, I am satisfied with the team’s performance”. The Juventus coach, speaking to Sky Sport, also explained where his team needs to improve most: “In the offensive phase in the last twenty meters we could have done better, especially in the first half. Lille is a team that waits and tries to restart, in these cases the quality of the game and the re-aggression are important. Lille knows what they are doing, they have great confidence and it was a good match. Now we need to recover the boys and think about the next match.” Juventus is unable to find continuity of results and now Thiago Motta will immediately have to recharge his team in view of the Derby della Mole.

DV9 commented on the Bianconeri’s performance to Sky Sport: “We had the match under control on a difficult pitch against a team that plays very well, both at home and away and has achieved two victories against great teams. We played a great, aggressive game. We could have won it given how we were placed, especially after having drawn it. That was the feeling, it’s a shame we didn’t succeed. I think we left two points.” The Juventus number 9, however, was denied the double by a splendid Chevalier save: “He played a great game, I congratulate him. It’s part of the game, in 90% of cases that ball goes into the goal but he is He was good, reactive. I’m happy for the goal, but we deserved to win and we could have done it.”
