In your opinion, is Manchester City in crisis? This is one of the questions asked at the press conference Thiago Mottacoach of Juventus that on the eve of the match against the Manchester City – match valid for the sixth day of the ‘Championship Phase’ of the Champions League – he responded thus: “I cannot judge what happens at other people’s homes, I can only admire what they have done in recent years. It has been a team that has won everything and therefore all we have to do is congratulate a team that has demonstrated enormous value in recent years. They have won the Premier League, the Champions League and the Club World Cup four times in a row: it’s relative for me to talk of a moment of crisis”.
What do you think of Guardiola? Were you inspired by him in any way?
“Very strong. Very strong and I’m not saying it, the facts prove it. He’s won everything and consistently. He’s a very strong coach.”
How heavy is this match?
“I don’t know the weight. It’s a Champions League match with two great clubs facing each other. We focus on what we need to do, what we need to do on the pitch. We want to compete against a great team today. All the rest is relative.”
