Juventus manager Thiago Motta spoke to Sky Sport on the eve of the big match against Roma, expressing his satisfaction with the club’s recent transfer activities and sharing his thoughts on the upcoming game.
Reflecting on the past week that saw new faces arrive at the club, Motta said, “It went well. We were prepared for this type of market. We did a great job, bringing in strong and talented players to complete the group. I’m happy.”
When asked about new signings Nico Gonzalez, Conceicao, and Koopmeiners, Motta praised their attitude: “They’ve arrived with the right mindset. I’m not the one discovering their talent.”
Regarding their readiness to play, Motta stated, “Everyone is ready to play. They show in training that they’re eager to contribute. They could be in the starting eleven or come on during the match.”
Looking ahead to the Roma match, Motta described it as “A great game against a strong and determined team with a great coach. We’ll face them with great enthusiasm. We’ve worked well this week and hope to show it on the field.”
Motta also spoke warmly about his relationship with Roma coach Daniele De Rossi: “We have an excellent relationship. We were together in the national team. He was a great player and teammate, and now he’s a great coach, perfect for Roma. I’ll never forget what he did during that period which wasn’t easy for me. It’s easy to think things, but it’s not easy to go against the opinion of many: he did that, and I’ll never forget it.”
On his expectations for the match, Motta concluded, “Every game has its own story. We know who we’re facing tomorrow, a strong and competitive team. It will be a great game.”
