🗣️ Motta:
“Lecce’ goal was not Cambiaso's fault. We could have avoided taking goals at the last minute. From games like this we have to improve and learn.”
68’ | ⚽️ | GOAL! Cambiaso's shot is deflected, but it's in! And we take the lead!

🗣 Thiago Motta in the pre-match press conference ahead of #LecceJuve:
▫️Juventus’ performance: “No single word to describe it. I want to see consistency, a complete performance, and everything necessary to tilt the game in our favor.”
▫️Unavailable players: “Nico, Douglas, Adzic, McKennie, Vlahovic, and Savona. Montero, Pagnucco, Papadopoulos, Owusu, and Pugno are called up.”
▫️Injuries: “We focus on those available. Total trust in my players—everyone must give extra to help the team.”
▫️Lecce’s form: “They’re coming off a win and have momentum after a coaching change. It’ll be tough; they have quality and organization.”
▫️Goal-scoring struggles: “Without Vlahovic, we’re working daily to improve both offensively and defensively.”
▫️Playing style: “We’ll decide tomorrow whether to use a target striker or adapt as needed.”
▫️Transfer market: “Not the time to discuss it. Fully focused on Lecce.”
❗Motta would like a younger and versatile defender who can cover multiple roles. For this reason, Giuntoli has already initiated contacts with Jorge Mendes, agent of Antonio Silva.
