The Juventus coach analyzes the derby which ended 1-1 against Torino: for him it is the 12th draw in 19 Serie A matches
Compared to the post-elimination from the Italian Super Cup against Milan in Riad, Thiago Motta appears less tense and resigned to Dazn’s microphones. Perhaps because this time, in the derby against Toro, Juve did not lose, but the 12 draws in 19 Serie A matches this season and the same number of points lost from advantageous situations should leave an even more bitter taste in the mouth. Yet, the Juventus coach is not dismayed. “A few draws are too many, but I think about the fact that, with today, we have played 27 games and we have only lost 2 with a very young squad and some injuries, even if it has never been an alibi”, tries to look at the side positive.

Motta’s analysis of the match, for the rest, is similar to many of those heard during the latest Juventus outings. “We did very well at the start and took the lead, then we dropped back and by throwing the ball into the area they managed to create dangerous situations – he explains -. On the goal we could have been more aggressive and not let the opponent get into a situation dangerous area of the pitch, then Vlasic made a good left-footed shot. In the second half we dominated and had chances, but we didn’t finish them and so the equalizer was achieved.”

Finally, Motta focuses on the performance of Douglas Luiz (only his third match as a starter) and on Cambiaso, who started from the bench for the fourth time in a row. “His was an excellent performance – the coach praises the Brazilian -. I am very happy because we need as many fit players as possible. Cambiaso, however, after the injury had some difficulty in returning to the team and in this At the moment I have to thank him because he needs anti-inflammatories to play and train. We hope that this discomfort will pass as soon as possible, then it will be another one that will help the team raise its level.”
