Juventus will face Bologna today at 6pm in the match valid for the fifteenth matchday of Serie A. For this match, Thiago Motta will recover Dusan Vlahovic, Nicolò Savona and Vasilije Adzic and said he was happy to be able to find the Serbian striker again: “We are always happy with his return to the group, that he can do what he likes. It’s his job to get on the pitch and play football, tomorrow we still have Dusan, Savona, Adzic. We are happy with the return of these players, because the team is also interested in each of them personally. They’re back on the pitch and I’m happy with that.” Today will be a special challenge for the coach born in ’82 who will have to face his recent past: “Bologna are doing well and are a great team. We need to focus on what we have to do and many other things to avoid, they play a lot vertically and press a lot. They are fine and will show a lot of intensity.”
Thiago Motta doesn’t feel the pressure.
In the last period, Juventus has not managed to find the victory and is coming off three consecutive draws between the championship and the Champions League, in a press conference Thiago Motta was asked to comment on his team’s difficult moment: “Responsibility always exists and it will always exist for any team and every team with its own goal. Each team has its own objective, with great responsibility we approach every day of work in the same way. Not just the moment or situation, but every day. I take this responsibility with great pleasure, I have said it from day one and I will do so until the last day. I feel privileged to be here and we always give our all to do the best for Juventus. That’s what matters.” Finally, the Juventus coach was asked to comment on the fact that the Bianconeri are not included in the race for the Scudetto: “We are always focused on our game, preparing as best we can, we have to be demanding with ourselves to improve and go on the pitch and give the best performance possible. I have no control over everything else and we don’t want to control it, we accept and respect all public or professional opinions, often you give your judgement, right or not, everyone. has freedom of opinion.”
Motta’s choices: Vlahovic as starter, Yildiz on the bench.
Juventus will find Dusan Vlahovic again for the match against Bologna and Thiago Motta seems to immediately intend to rely on his number 9. The coach born in 82, for the match against the rossoblu, will focus on 4-2-3-1: in goal a very close ballot is open between Perin and Di Gregorio which will only be resolved close to the match. In defense, on the right, Danilo will play again, in half space for Gatti and Kalulu, on the left, however, it will be Cambiaso’s turn. In midfield it is possible that there is something new and Fagioli could play next to Locatelli. Conceicao, Koopmeiners and Weah will move in the attacking midfield, with Yildiz initially on the bench. While Vlahovic will return in attack. Savona and Adzic will also be available and there will be two more options to be included during the ongoing race.
