BIRMINGHAM (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “Tomorrow we will face a great team, which has been playing well for some time and getting important results. They scored nine points while also playing against Bayern, we will take the field with humility to do our job, respecting the opponent and giving our best to get a great performance.” Juventus coach Thiago Motta said this on the eve of the Champions League match at the Aston Villa ground. “I like the new Champions formula,” explained the Bianconeri coach, who will have to do without many pawns in Birmingham, including Vlahovic, McKennie and Brener, “We face different teams, it makes us see other things and prepare matches differently. All this makes us grow.” “The many injuries? Surely it is not a coincidence and it did not happen only to Juve, but to practically all teams – continued in the press conference the former coach of Spezia and Bologna – This is not the time to open the debate and my opinion matters very little, now there is a need to give more. And I did not bring any boy from the youth sector, because bringing him to the first team and not using him is not useful. A call-up has to be deserved, we are a big club and I have total confidence in the players I have for all 95 minutes. Everyone will give their best for the good of the team.” As for the lineup, Motta revealed that “Koopmeiners, even with the flu, is a great player: he will be on the field tomorrow as well as Cambiaso.” A small concession to his reserve about the starting eleven, while to the idea, one day, of sitting on a Premier League bench he prefers reality: “As a player I never had the chance to come to the Premier, I am 200 percent satisfied with my career as a player and as a coach I am very well at Juve, a club that welcomed me well and in which I see an important future. We are growing and I only think about doing well at Juve: in the future I don’t know, today I see myself very well at Juventus,” he concluded.- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
