Thiago "The Fired Fraud" Motta (144 Viewers)

Realistically, I'm good with a top two or three finish. I don't expect a Scudetto right away and Motta deserves time to work with a new squad. If we can challenge for the Scudetto, then even better.
I had to laugh at the end of the match. After the final whistle, the commentator in the studio came on and immediately said, "You are watching JUVENTUS"
I know, bro. It's pretty fucking unbelievable.

I'll repeat the same stuff as last week.
It's not about the quality of the opposition but it's our approach that makes me absolutely convinced that we're back.
If you play like this week in week out, creating more chances per game, we are eventually going to play with more confidence against better teams
Some of the fluid passing and movements was a dream to watch
Early days but I haven't been this excited to watch JJ games in a long ass time

Given Guintoli’s past body of work unearthing gems, we could be looking at a damn good squad sooner than we think.
Best part too is that we’re seeing even further progress on Nextgen youngsters appearing in the first team from last season. And they don’t look near as lost as they did last year.
It’s amazing how much progress he’s made with this squad from what we saw in the first couple preseason matches. Impressive work thus far.
Super excited to watch us in Europe for the first time in years.

There were a few times in the match commentators mentioned the players looking like they were enjoying themselves on the pitch and having fun, something we haven’t seen in years at Juve. And then a comment about how if you put Vlahovic in goalscoring positions he will score a lot of goals just like at Fiorentina. A not so subtle dig at Allegri’s time coaching Dusan
I’m in the same boat as you as far as expectations go. Minimum is top 4, plus CL knockouts for me, and I expect us to look competitive against everyone in the league this year even if we don’t yet have the consistency to win it.

Guintoli has also reinvigorated the squad with young, promising talent. Recognized and kept the young players in nextgen that Motta wants (given that he has made several of them a big part of the first two matches), and brought in several promising young players. Will they all turn out to be stars? Probably not… but if he hits on a couple each year, along with progress from nextgen youngsters, we’re in a great place setting up future success, especially with a hungry young rising coach in Motta.

I like what we are seeing so far. It's impressive how much we have changed in terms of style despite a short preseason. It's not easy to change a philosophy quickly so Motta, his staff and the players deserve credit for it.
There are things to improve on but we are playing some nice football and getting bodies in the box, which creates problems for defenders. I like that we clearly respect the opposition but want to go and play our football instead, which is the biggest change.
Bigger tests will come but it has been an excellent start.

Its very impressive what he has done with the side and how he has made some of our youngsters shine already. Savona and Mbangula are gaining in confidence in no small part due to Motta.
I like that he is laser focussed on every game and takes nothing for granted. This hopefully means the team will continue to get stronger game after game. It will be super interesting to see what he does with the team when Thuram, Weah return and with Nico, Conceicao and then Koop and maybe Sancho? Then he has all the tools he needs.
