Challenging evening for the Aquile of Thiago Motta, that despite the positive performance and the great determination, they only got close to success, giving in at the end to Juventus. These are the feelings of coach Thiago Motta at the end of the match: "I go home satisfied, but at the same time embittered. A good performance by the boys, but in the end the result is what counts and unfortunately, we did not manage to bring home the three points. The positive performance, however, gives us strength and motivation to face the next important match against Milan.
What was missing? Putting the ball in the net. It's true that we played a very good game, but we wasted the possible 3-1 ball and what was missing was being able to score. I saw a group that played as a real team, it's something we work hard on during the week and I'm happy to have seen it on the field; we played against a great team, but even in difficult situations we remained united and I'm sorry that in the end, we take home the regret of not being able to celebrate.
Is it difficult to coach this team? Absolutely not, the boys live for football, it's their job, just as I have chosen to be a coach. It's something I love and they must love it in the same way, it doesn't have to be difficult for us. We have a very clear objective, we will face some difficulties but this is football. Today we must look at the mistakes we've made and improve starting tomorrow.
The spirit we saw tonight, the desire and determination of the boys, both those who played from the first minute and those who came in later, is exactly what I want to see on the pitch. I have nothing to reproach the players for tonight, I'm happy with their work. Antiste is a hard worker and tonight he was rewarded with his first goal against an important team like Juventus.
Our goal is not easy, but together we can and must reach it, working not only for ourselves but also for our teammates as we are already doing. Nzola? He's an important player for us, the group has embraced him, supports him and he's training well, with the right approach: I'm sure that his characteristics can make the difference".
