Juventus, Thiago Motta: “Great first half, they have the advantage of working for a whole week”

“Sorry for the defeat after a great first half. We put a well -trained opponent in great difficulty and who is at the top of the ranking not by chance. Juventus showed personality, dribbling and pressing intelligently from the first minutes and containing a Important player like Lobotka. The possibility of working during the week, however, came from many close races and we have not been able to repeat ourselves in the second 45 minutes.

The analysis is simple: first fraction made in the right way, then we fell. Our strategy was clear: to leave strong by imposing our game and then close the spaces and try to take advantage of the restarts. Instead we started to make a mistake even from a technical point of view. Like Juventus we are unable to win in this stadium since 2019 and this is a statistical figure, it means that it is a difficult field for us. We are very embittered because we had not yet lost in the championship, Napoli ran and pressed a lot and, as mentioned, have the small advantage of being able to prepare the games without midweek shifts “. These are the words of the Juventus coach Thiago Motta to Dazn.
