Legendary Italian manager Arrigo Sacchi has commented on the Serie A title race and discussed the top clubs in the country.
One of them is Juventus, and the Bianconeri are eager to win as many games as possible when the season starts.
Thiago Motta earned his job due to the impressive work he did at Bologna and the success they achieved last season.
He took them from relative obscurity to securing a place in the Champions League this term.
Juve also needs to qualify for the competition this season, and Motta has been tasked with making that happen.
His team has received several new players who will make things easier on the pitch, but he now has to ensure his players adapt to his style of play.
However, Sacchi is unsure if Motta can immediately replicate the success he had at Bologna in Turin.
He said, as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“Juve has embarked on a new path, I’m curious to see Thiago Motta at work. Thiago Motta is a strategist, but I don’t know if he can repeat the Bologna season at Juve.”
Juve FC Says
We want more than Motta enjoyed at Bologna, and he knows the job in Turin is much bigger, but we expect him to thrive in it.
Why would he `immediately` replicate his past success? New team, new club, new mindset for the players to learn, and 3 seasons of mediocrity to un-learn. Only a fool would expect to win the scudetto first time around. Not saying it wouldn`t be fun….
Let’s wait and see!
At least Juventus will play better football this season. I hope the results comes with the exciting football too
The key is the midfield. If we can get Koop, Juve have serious chance to win scudetto this season. Remember Conte? He had the best midfielders and won scudetto in his 1st season. I hope Motta will follow his path this season. Khepren Thuram, Douglas Luiz, Koopmeiner… They all are fantastic but Koop is another level. Many ppl think he’s overrated. But he’s worth the money. Look at Atalanta, they are crying right now because they will lose their beast to Juve.
