On August 18th, at the press conference before the first round of Serie A match against Como, Juventus coach Motta said: “We are looking forward to tomorrow’s game and hope to have a good start to move towards our goals. We expect to perform well and earn points. We are well-prepared, training has been excellent this week, and we are very excited to play the first game of the season at home. This will bring huge enthusiasm, and the players need to make full use of it. We are all honored to experience such moments, enjoy the pre-game atmosphere and give our all.”
Speaking about the players, he said: “McKennie is a very important player for us. We will have 19 players available tomorrow, but I can only field 11 starters and take 5 substitutes. We are in great shape, training is going smoothly, and we are ready. I will choose the starting lineup based on the players’ performance, whether they start on the field or come off the bench, they should all play their part in the game. As for the transfer market, I remain calm. We are working hard to build a competitive team.”
Motta also mentioned: “Ildız wearing the No. 10 shirt means he carries a huge responsibility. He is wearing a shirt with historical significance. He is a very talented player. Although he is still young, he has already made great progress, and he knows the importance of hard work. Weah has a lot of room for improvement. I know he has many characteristics that can contribute to the team. He is at the peak of his career and will be very helpful to us.”
Regarding communication within the team, he said: “Chiesa? Nothing has changed, we had internal talks. I value transparency and clarity in communication, I always communicate directly with each player internally. Vlahovic seems to be in good shape, he is working hard, helping the team, he is a great player, but every player needs a strong team support. I am happy with the enthusiasm shown by the team. All the players know their roles on the field, and we have done our best to prepare for this game. Miretti will miss tomorrow’s game due to injury, he is currently training individually. Although he is also well-prepared, he will not be able to play tomorrow.”
Speaking about the opponent, Motta said: “We have to give our all, we need to compete fiercely in the game, and give everything on the field. Como plays a very open style, we are facing an experienced team. We will try to play in our own style.”
