HERZOGENAURACH — Fifteen days after the Continassa gathering, the Juventus Of Thiago Motta is starting to take shape. In the first open-door training session of the season, the first concepts emerged, already glimpsed in his previous experiences, especially in Genoa and Bologna, which characterize his way of understanding football. In the first friendly against Nuremberg there will be a dress rehearsal, although to start giving the first judgments we will have to wait for the fatigue accumulated in the return from Herzogenaurach give Vlahovic and his teammates a break and let the returns from vacation and the transfer market, both incoming and outgoing, outline the features of the Juventus squad.
Thiago Motta, what has been the best aspect of these first days of the new season at Juventus?
“Everything. The structure where we are doing the retreat, the commitment of the players: for the moment the work is going very well and I am happy”.
We saw that before training he spent a long time with Giuntoli and Scanavino. Did you talk about the market?
“We are in constant dialogue to find the best solutions for our team. We do this every day.”
Retreat instead of touring. Is the group building up as solid as you hoped?
“Yes, absolutely yes. It is a united group that has the ambition to do important things. To do this you have to start from the first day of work and it will always be like this day after day to conquer something”.
Can you give us an opinion on young people? How did you see them?
“Very good. They arrived with great enthusiasm, as is normal, but also with great quality and they are raising the level of training. This is the most important thing”.
Some say that with Vlahovic she could score 30 goals. More pressure for her or for the Serbian?
“There is no pressure, just a great responsibility. Dusan’s work, like that of all the others, cannot stop only at goals. There are many things to do in football, he knows it very well and he knows how to do it too. He is an important player for the team, but I have said it before: great talent always needs the team”.
Is the team being born?
“We are preparing very well for when the season starts and to face everyone.”
The last ones currently on vacation will be returning soon. What did you tell them for these last days away from the fields?
“To rest and stay in shape, because when they arrive they will have to do like the others and give 100%.”
Have you already had the chance to speak with Chiesa, since he has returned but will not be joining you in Germany?
“He is part of Juventus at the moment and then we will see.”
How is Soulé training? Market rumors want him at Roma.
“Like everyone else he is training very very well.”
Would you be sorry to see him leave?
“Like everyone else, he’s training very well and is part of our group. At the moment I’m very happy with what I see in training.”
An impression of Thuram?
“Like the others, he is training well. He is a boy who arrived after having trained a lot with his national team. He arrived in good shape and we are happy to have him”.
Have you already thought about your first team to field against Nuremberg?
“No, honestly, no. I want to have this thought when the game comes and whoever is better goes on the field, while the others will have to help for the next games.”
What do you expect from the first friendly? What do you want to see?
“Everything we have trained and done in these days. I am sure that the commitment of these guys will not be lacking.”
His workouts are intense.
“We do the normal preparation things and we are preparing very well.”
You are putting a lot of intensity, will we see an aggressive Juve?
“We will prepare well to always give our best.”
Is Todibo or Koopmeiners the priority?
“I don’t talk about players who aren’t mine. I talk about my own, I work with my own and I’m happy like that.”
