Juventus, after having regained victory in the league against Genoa, can start preparing for the Champions League match against Leipzig. Thiago Motta, in the post-match press conference, wanted to call the whole group to their attention in view of a very complicated match in Europe: “I’m happy with the victory and the performance, now let’s think about the Champions League. It will be a different match to prepare well and face it as best as possible.”
Motta’s secret weapon is defense.
Juventus’ strength in these first days of the championship is certainly the defensive phase. In fact, the Bianconeri have not yet conceded a goal in Serie A and have extended their unbeaten streak to 540 minutes. A very important fact that had never happened in the three-point era. Thiago Motta, after the match against Genoa, analyzed the defensive phase of his team as follows: “It is an interesting and important fact, we are a solid team. We have strong defenders, but the defensive phase is teamwork. Today we did not take goal because we defended together, with great generosity, always helping each other. I’m happy because it’s a very important fact for a team that wants to aspire to important things at the start of the championship where the Bianconeri have struggled a lot in the offensive phase, the real strength The Old Lady’s defense once again proved itself.
Bremer dominates with Juve and takes back the national team.
The strong point of Thiago Motta’s defense is certainly Gleison Bremer. In the summer, the Italian-Brazilian coach strongly wanted the confirmation of his defender who is currently repaying him with great performances. The Juventus number three, against Genoa, played a sumptuous match with 86% of successful passes, also enhanced by 3 perfect changes of play and 8 duels won. Bremer is demonstrating that he can play perfectly even in a 4-man defense and is also showing notable improvements in the way he plays. The good performances of the last few weeks have earned the defender a call-up to the national team, after his latest exclusion from Brazil’s September matches. To date, Bremer is certainly one of the best defenders in the Italian championship and is ready to get noticed, with excellent performances, even on an international level.
