Juventus coach Thiago Motta during the Italian Serie A soccer match, coach Eigo Motta will be playing Juventus FC vs Bologna FC at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy on December 7, 2024.
Juventus coach Thiago Motta claims that Randall Koro Muani and Dusan Vlahovic will start together at the right time and praise Cesc Fabregas as a talented and prepared coach.
Juventus will visit Como in Studiosinigallia on Friday in the opening match of Serie A Round 24.
The new Bianconeri, signing for Colo Muani, had a prominent impact at Allianz Stadium, scoring three goals in opening two appearances.
However, this pushed Juventus’ top scorer Vlahovic onto the bench, causing Motta to be asked if the pair could start at the same time with a Bianconeri attack.
“We are a team, and most importantly the group. We need balance and teams need to work well in both phases,” said BianConeri boss.
“They are top-level players and when the time comes, when they think it’s best for the team, they play together. Otherwise, one will start up and the other will light up. Selection is always done for the best benefit of the team.”
Koro Muani Vlahovic’s decision, new Juventus defender, Motta on Barca’s impact
Vlahovic began one of the final three Juventus games when Colo Muani was not available in the Champions League against Benfica. Nonetheless, Motta is pleased with the Serbs’ attitude.
“I’m very happy, but my attitude and way of thinking are fundamental and I have to set an example,” he insisted.
“This is important for working as a group. Dusan’s attitude has always been perfect so far. He is a player who trains well and accepts decisions for the benefit of the team.”
Was it his decision to sign Koro Muani?
“It was our decision. We all agreed that players at his level can improve and raise the level of our team,” Motta replied.
“We’re happy to bring him to the team.”
Juventus retained Andrea Cambiazo in January and signed three new defenders, Lloyd Kelly, Renato Beiga and Alberto Costa.
The latter is excluded from Juventus’ Champions League list, with only three possible changes.
“I explained the situation to him. We’re all very happy with his job,” Motta said.
“I like him because he came with a great hunger. He works hard every day and has great value. When his opportunity comes, he is ready to grab it. It’s there.
“Technically, Renato Veiga and Kelly are very skilled and can play together to cover multiple roles. Even with their left foot, their traits really help the team.” Motta continued.
In tomorrow’s meeting with Como, Motta will be reunited with another Barcelona Academy product, Azzurri Coach Fabregas.
“I spent many years in Barcelona. This is a great time for important teams with a strong philosophy of play and thinking. I think the same applies to Fabregas. When playing against a large team Even como always moves forward. I’ve never seen them sit and they’re doing very well. Fabregas is a very prepared and talented coach. It has been proven that there is.”
At a press conference, Motta also spoke about the possibility of Cambiaso’s move to Manchester City, saying that the Italians have never considered leaving Bianconeri.
