In this round of Serie A, Juventus beat a strong Lazio with a score of 1-0. After the match, Juventus manager Thiago Motta was interviewed by Sky Sports to share his thoughts on the match and his future plans.
Motta began by talking about his satisfaction with the game, "We're happy with a lot of things, but we'll continue to work on all aspects of the game. Patience was the key to this game and we faced a team that played well even with a numerical disadvantage. Although we were a bit impatient in the first half, we were better in the second half and the goals came at the right time. It's never easy to score against a team that defends so well, so it was an important and deserved win."
When asked about the importance of long range shots in the game, Motta said, "Long range shots are very important. On Danilo's pass to Fazioli, his shot wasn't the surest option at the time, but when we encountered a team that retreated to defend in the box, the long shot became the key to breaking the deadlock. Of course, long range shots have to be taken at the right time to be most powerful."
Motta spoke highly of Cambiasso, a young player in the squad: "Andrea is becoming more and more important for both Juventus and the national team. He is a very versatile player, not only with great skills, but also with a strong desire to win. He knows he has room for improvement and is working hard to maintain his balance both mentally and physically. Because he is playing a lot of games, he can do better on the defensive side. He's in great shape and is very important for us and the national team."
Speaking about the change in status as a coach, Motta said, "As a player, I couldn't hide my emotions, both positive and negative. Now as a coach, I still do. Sometimes it's not easy for the players, but I think as long as I still have that emotion, I will continue to coach. I'm one of them and I love every one of them. Making choices is the hardest thing for me because every player is like a child to me."
