🗣️ Motta:
"Yıldız can play in a false 9, he did it against Lille. But against teams that compact we have to get into the area and with him and Conceiçao on the other side today we did it.”
🗣️ Motta:
“Lecce’ goal was not Cambiaso's fault. We could have avoided taking goals at the last minute. From games like this we have to improve and learn.”
68’ | ⚽️ | GOAL! Cambiaso's shot is deflected, but it's in! And we take the lead!

🗣 Thiago Motta in the pre-match press conference ahead of #LecceJuve:
▫️Juventus’ performance: “No single word to describe it. I want to see consistency, a complete performance, and everything necessary to tilt the game in our favor.”
▫️Unavailable players: “Nico, Douglas, Adzic, McKennie, Vlahovic, and Savona. Montero, Pagnucco, Papadopoulos, Owusu, and Pugno are called up.”
▫️Injuries: “We focus on those available. Total trust in my players—everyone must give extra to help the team.”
▫️Lecce’s form: “They’re coming off a win and have momentum after a coaching change. It’ll be tough; they have quality and organization.”
▫️Goal-scoring struggles: “Without Vlahovic, we’re working daily to improve both offensively and defensively.”
▫️Playing style: “We’ll decide tomorrow whether to use a target striker or adapt as needed.”
▫️Transfer market: “Not the time to discuss it. Fully focused on Lecce.”
❗Motta would like a younger and versatile defender who can cover multiple roles. For this reason, Giuntoli has already initiated contacts with Jorge Mendes, agent of Antonio Silva.
