The 2024/25 Italian Super Cup will stage another semi-final, and the "Old Lady" Juventus will go to the King Saud University Stadium to challenge the "Red and Black Army" AC Milan. Coach Thiago Motta said that their goal is to win and he is full of confidence in the strength of the players.
With Kefran Thuram's double goal, Juventus tied with Fiorentina 2-2 in the previous Serie A. Juventus is currently ranked 6th in the Serie A standings with 32 points, 3 points behind Lazio, which is 4th. But it is worth mentioning that Juventus has maintained an unbeaten record since the beginning of this season's Serie A, so if they can achieve good results in the Italian Super Cup, it will give Juventus greater confidence to face the next challenge.
Juventus coach Thiago Motta said at the press conference, "The venue facilities and climatic conditions here are very good, allowing us to meet the game in the best condition. As for this game, our goal is to win. This game is different from the league, because once you lose, you will be eliminated. We hope to play in the best condition, strive for victory and advance."
"AC Milan is a team with excellent players, and the new coach also performed well when he coached Porto. We will do our best. Such exciting games are really worth looking forward to. Everyone is eager to stand on the field. We will also be ready to face the best AC Milan . They are a team that is accustomed to participating in major competitions. We know very well what we should and should not do."
Thiago Motta also said, "All details will affect the game. We must be fully committed and determined, and pay attention to details in all aspects. Although we respect our opponents, we also hope to implement our own style. I really want to win the game as a coach, but this is not an obsession. I am very confident in the strength of the team, and I remain calm. I will do my best to let the players face the game in the best condition."
Talking about the 22-year-old winger Conceicao, Thiago Motta shared, "He is in good shape and as motivated as ever. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he knows what he has to do and that won't change. He plays with freedom and that's what he needs to do. As for Kupmenas, he can play in multiple positions and we'll see if he can start, depending on the form of him and the rest of his teammates."
"And Yildiz, he's at the beginning of his career and he's still young, he needs to continue to learn and grow, and he can learn from many excellent teammates in the team."
