Thiago Motta on "DAZN" after the game:
DEFEAT - "I'm disappointed about the defeat because we played a good first half, putting our opponent in great difficulty. It's no coincidence that our opponent is first in the standings: a strong team with a good coach. Having had the opportunity to prepare during the week, we come from playing many games. In the second half we struggled to repeat the good things we saw in the first, which is why we weren't able to win today".
THE DEFEAT THAT MAKES YOU AWARE? - "We are 100% focused, in many other games we have reacted well and recovered the game, in others like today we have not. We as Juventus have not been able to win on this pitch since 2019 and it is a fact that must be said. It is not an easy pitch, the reaction now is for the next match, today we are disappointed. Napoli pressed a lot, ran a lot and the fact of preparing it during the week represents a small advantage".
WHAT WAS MISSING - "We didn't lack personality, on the contrary, we showed a lot of it in the first half by playing very good football and putting the opponents in difficulty with the ball. The first pressures in the first half were very good: we limited the game and Lobotka. In the second half we wanted to stay compact also because we play 95 minutes against the top teams in the league and in good shape and who prepare the game during the week. We come from playing many games, even in Bruges we spent a lot of energy. In the second half we had to do the first pressure well or regroup and in the recovery play well and go forward. We weren't capable, technically we didn't do well. When we got the ball we lost the second duel, so they got the ball and attacked with a strong team".
