TURIN (ITALPRESS) – “The feelings are good because I see the team well, with the right attitude in training. In derbies there is always a special atmosphere, tomorrow we will give our best to play a great game and bring it to our side.” Thiago Motta shows great serenity on the eve of his first derby della Mole. “I have confidence in everyone’s commitment, whether he plays from the start or in a game in progress. He will enter the game at 200% both who will start and who will take over to make a contribution to the team,” assures the Bianconeri coach, who, however, will have to do without some pawns. “Douglas Luiz? At my request he came with us to Lille but even yesterday in training he still did not feel 100% and I decided not to risk him tomorrow. Nico Gonzalez, who will need a little more time, and Adzic, who had a small problem, will not be there either.” Juve has not lost a derby since 2015 “but the past matters very little, it matters tomorrow when the referee whistles for the start of the game. We will have to compete at our best and try to impose our game against a team that is dangerous on the restarts. We need a great game to get the result we want.” No clue which arm the captain’s armband will go on this time. “What must a captain have for me? Everything. The armband is something extraordinary, which goes to those who can convey what we want, those who can set an example, and those who wore it had these characteristics,” retorted Motta, who at Juve feels he is in the right place at the right time. “If I accepted such a commitment it is because I don’t want to be passing through, in fact, I want to stay many years. But I only think about the day-to-day, about what I have to do, about trying to do the right things, trying to do my best and even something more. Everything else will come and I will still be satisfied because I will have done what I have to do. That’s what I also ask my boys and when I see in them this attitude I am happy, it means we are in the right direction.”- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
