TURIN (ITALPRESS) – “It’s an important match against a team that before the last two games came from very good performances. We are focused, we challenge a strong team and we have to face it in the right way.” So said Thiago Motta, Juventus coach, in a press conference ahead of the challenge against Fiorentina, scheduled tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Allianz Stadium. “The Viola have a prepared coach, players of great quality and know how to play good soccer. They are a formation that is very dangerous on the counterattack, we will have to have balance and impose our game.” On the injured: “We have recovered Douglas Luiz, while Nico Gonzalez, who did not train with the group for two days, worked with his teammates today. We have recovered Danilo and Koopmeiners, while we have to wait for Rouhi, Weah and Milik.” The Bianconeri are the only undefeated team in the tournament, but despite this, it is necessary to accelerate, considering that before the victory last round four draws in a row had come: “It is a game felt by everyone, especially the fans. The 2025 goal is tomorrow, we have to do well and compete at our best, doing everything we know how to do. Everything else we will see later.” On the formation choices: “Nico did separate work for two days, because he was a bit fatigued after Monza,” explained Motta. “Today I saw him well. Even the boys don’t know the formation and I can’t tell you, because I always want to tell them first.” The Juventus coach then talked about the aspects to improve: “We must always have intensity and balance, in both phases we are talking overall, about a team connected together on the field. Some times we did well, some times we did less well. I don’t think only possession can make you win. So many other things matter. Having more possession allows you to have more chances. There have also been different wins like the one against City. We have to do well what we do very well. The Viola playing in transition are very dangerous and we will have to be very careful.” Finally, on the market: “I think about tomorrow, the rest will come later. We are always in tune for the good of the team. The team and I are 200 percent focused on the match with Fiorentina.”
