At the start of the second half, I saw a team that could dominate the opponents and create. This is our idea. We must stretch this moment and try to do it for as long as possible. “We prepared well. Of course, some players struggle a bit more in this period because we are training more intensively than during the season,” insisted Motta. “Today’s defeat must be taken in the right way but surely we must improve quickly. We must continue working like this, as we’ve done these days.” ............ Last but not least, Motta spoke about Juventus’ summer strategies with the Bianconeri expected to sign at least three more players. “I am sure we’ll build a competitive team,” said the coach. “We’ll get the players we need at the right time, but I do no doubt we’ll have a competitive team.” Read more -> https://football-italia.net/motta-juventus-soule-friendly-improve-quickly/
