Thiago Motta calls for Juventus to concede less goals and create more chances ahead of Torino clash

The 20th round of the 2024/25 Serie A season will see a derby, with Juventus travelling to face Torino. Thiago Motta said at the press conference that they are looking forward to participating in this key match, while also calling on the team to reduce goals conceded and create more offensive opportunities.

In the last round of the league, Juventus tied Fiorentina 2-2 after Kefran Thuram scored 2 goals. Currently, Juventus ranks fifth in the standings with 32 points, and has achieved 1 win and 4 draws in the past 5 rounds.

Talking about this derby, Juventus coach Thiago Motta said, "This will be a very complicated game, but it will be a special game for us, the fans and the club. We are very much looking forward to stepping onto the court and trying our best to win. We are a young team and have shown good performance. We need to devote ourselves to training and do our best every day for the game."

“Our goal is always to lose less and create more offense, and improve our ability in the key moments. The team's attitude has always been good, although sometimes we have some difficulties in responding to challenges, but this is also a problem for many other teams. In such a great club, winning is indispensable and we are very clear that this is the most important thing.

Thiago Motta also said, "We have many leaders and there is also more potential to cultivate new leaders. The real leaders are formed in the locker room through the recognition of teammates. This is the key."

In addition, when talking about the team's lineup, Thiago Motta said, "Tomorrow we will be missing Bremer, Juan Cabal, Milik, Vlahovic and Conceicao, as well as Locatelli who will be absent due to suspension."

"As for Douglas Luiz, he is a great midfielder who can play in all positions in our midfield. Not only can he score goals, but he can also pass the ball at the crucial moment and his creativity makes him very good in organizing the attack."
