Thiago Motta: We are happy with the victory, but now the most important thing is to recover and prepare for the match against Atalanta


In the 27th round of Serie A, Juventus successfully defeated Verona with a score of 2-0. Coach Thiago Motta, Andrea Cambiasso, Ziffren Thuram and Kenan Yildiz were interviewed by the media after the game.  

 

Thiago Motta said: "We got a crucial victory at home and we did it as we wished. Now we must work hard to recover and get some players back so that we can better face the game against Atlanta."  

 

"We know it will be a difficult game and we will face a very strong team. Therefore, we must concentrate and play well with energy. Atalanta will put pressure on us, so we need to respond with energy and strive to get the best result, which is to win."  

 

"Theen Kupmeiners is a key player for us, who can play multiple roles on the pitch. Teen Kupmeiners has important physical and technical qualities and can read different situations in the game very well. We have played him in different positions, first at the back and now up front. He always knows when to move and how to position himself."  

 

"Defensively, he always works hard and is always ready to help his teammates. Tern Kupmeiners also scored a goal against Verona. I always support him because I know how much he contributes to Juventus and I see him every day in training. I am happy that he can join us."  

 

"I don't put any restrictions on my players, especially when we are attacking, I want them to have the freedom to express themselves. They tried different solutions during the game, but when a team is organised defensively, it becomes complicated to find space.  

 

"We need organisation because without it everything becomes difficult. In this system, the players have space to give full play to their abilities."  

 

Furthermore, Andrea Cambiasso said: "We conceded two goals in the beginning and this type of match is a complicated contest for a team that defends well and compactly. However, we managed to find the right solutions in the second half and tried to do better."  

 

"Our goal is clear, and that is to draw with Atalanta in the standings. This game will be exciting, we are facing a team that plays in a very unique way, which is always a big challenge. I am always asked what my ideal position is, but to be honest, I have never been able to give a definite answer."  

 

“A lot depends on the match, the opponent and the space we have. Against Verona, the most important thing was to keep the team balanced, so I was asked to stay deeper. I think I did that well. I like to help the team. I don’t have a fixed position and I always try to adapt to the team’s needs at the moment.”  

 

“Physically, I’m not fully recovered yet and I’m trying to get back to my best. Nevertheless, I’m happy with my performance because I’m learning to manage myself, even though I’m not at my best yet. I’m happy to play for the team and I’ll keep working hard to improve.”  

 

Zivren Thuram said: "The team helped me play well and score goals, and the credit belongs to everyone in the team. We are a team, so we have always worked together to do our best. Now, we must be prepared and try our best to get good results in the next game against Atlanta."  

 

Finally, Kenan Yildiz said: "We are football players by profession. This is our job. We have always tried our best and hope to continue in this state in the future. In any case, we must play one game at a time and do our best to win every game."
