Juventus and Milan shared the spoils in a tightly contested match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Following the game, Juventus coach Thiago Motta expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, particularly their defensive efforts.

Motta began by stating, “I am satisfied with the work we did, especially defensively. We did not concede anything to our opponents: open space is their strength, and we managed to block them.” He acknowledged that while Juventus struggled to create many offensive chances, they were able to reach good areas on the pitch. “This point can provide continuity to our work. I am proud of my players because, given our current situation, we delivered a solid performance.”

The coach continued to reflect on the team’s progress, saying, “I am satisfied with tonight’s work and many aspects. Up until now, we should be pleased; we are on the right path.” He highlighted the importance of having tactical flexibility within the squad, noting that they have alternatives to change their formation as needed.

Motta specifically praised Khephren Thuram’s development, stating, “Thuram is growing significantly. I don’t like to talk about individual players, but if he continues to improve with this quality, we will be discussing a very important player. Since day one, he has always given his best; working with such players makes it easy.”
