Great thread on what Motta is doing so far and how he’s setting up. Cambiaso is essentially a midfielder and will be a key piece. That disallowed goal by Yildiz was beautiful action.
You can say what you want to say about him as a coach. But perhaps Giuntoli should tell him to keep quiet about the calciomercato. He just lowered Chiesa's price tag by like 10m.
I don't expect much in his first season (results-wise). What I care more about is the attitude from the players.
What bothered me most over the last few years is how passive and nonchalant our team is when losing. Motta needs to fix this immediately. Hopefully having new faces in the squad who are eager to please helps with this transition.
I have a feeling the first few months will be rough. That's OK. I just want to see some fucking identity and character to know that a solid foundation is being built.
No point getting a coach who plays a system and then complaining that he needs certain type of players to play that system. If the club is not going to support him by giving him the players he wants, it's not on him.
