Juventus enjoy a great night and Thiago Motta’s team beat Milan 2-0. The Bianconeri were superior to the Rossoneri throughout the match and, even in the first half, they would have deserved the advantage, especially when Kenan Yildiz came very close to scoring. The Juventus number 10, however, was forced off the pitch at half-time due to adductor discomfort. Timothy Weah came on in his place and was decisive, scoring the goal to make it 2-0. While the goal that broke the deadlock was scored by Samuel Mbangula. The Juventus number 51 has been playing well for several matches and against Milan he had the satisfaction of also finding the goal.
Thiago Motta happy for the victory and praises Mbangula.
Thiago Motta can consider himself truly satisfied with what his Juventus did in the match against Milan and he also said it in the press conference: “Even in the first half we were superior. We did better than our opponent throughout the match and that’s why we won.” Samuel Mbangula is one of the players who has had exponential growth under Thiago Motta’s management. The young Belgian combines quantity and quality and the Italian-Brazilian coach spoke about the work that the Juventus number 51 is doing: “He’s playing well and a lot. The important thing is not the quantity of minutes, but the quantity. Today he had important quality. It’s also thanks to him.” Finally, Thiago Motta was asked if this is starting to be his Juventus: “It is our Juventus that is growing and improving. There is only one way to achieve victory: work hard. The staff, the company, do it with the awareness of our moment. We have been going through some difficulties, but we have to overcome ourselves on a daily basis to achieve a performance like today both in the defensive and offensive phases. Today’s performance was done well defensively speaking, with solidarity, but also in the offensive phase. For 95 minutes we were superior to the opposing team.”
Kalulu is happy for the victory, but does not comment on Tomori’s future.
Pierre Kalulu gave a great performance against Milan also demonstrating a great understanding with Gatti. At the end of the match against the Rossoneri, the Juventus number 15 commented on his team’s performance: “We have been performing well for some time, the only thing missing was the result. This cast a bit of a shadow on everything. We are all in a good phase.” Kalulu also focused on the growth that Juventus is having: “We are more incisive with the ball. Now we are winning many tackles and second balls and here we have made a leap in quality.” Finally, the Juventus defender spoke about the possibility of meeting Fikayo Tomori again in Turin: “We spoke after the match, but he was angry and didn’t speak to me. We won together, it’s always a pleasure to see it. Then in football there are personal choices and I leave them to make the choices. I did mine. Let’s see the future.” Juventus is pushing hard to get Tomori and Giuntoli has intensified contacts. Now the will of the English defender will be decisive above all.
