Thiago Motta talks after Juventus lose against AC Milan on Super Cup semi final for Mediaset.

The coach started :

ON THE GAME – “Of course we can’t be happy with what we did, mainly in the first half and also in the second, we had chances to close the game and we didn’t do it. We conceded two goals with very little, with this little effort Milan cannot and should not close the game in that way”.

SUBBING OUT VLAHOVIC AND MBANGULA – “All the made choices are for the good of the team, then it is up to you to judge if I did well or not”.

A step back?

Motta added : “It is an important loss, we had a big responsibility to qualify and go to the final. I’m sorry because today from my point of view we had a great chance to beat Milan and we were not able to do that”.

WHAT IS HE NOT ABLE TO PUT IN THE MINDS OF THE TEAM – “We should improve in the character. The game was on our side, controlled, but we didn’t close it. We should have reacted, after the first negative episode we were not good at doing it”.

WHY IS JUVE NOT ABLE TO CLOSE GAMES – “There are different situations. In the league against Fiorentina it happened a bit like today, that one we drew without creating enough to win it. In other games we went behind and then we showed our character. Today it was a game a bit like the Fiorentina one, with very little the opponent changed the game“.

Is Francisco injured?

HOW IS CONCEIÇÃO – “We will assess him, he had an annoyance. He is also an important player, the idea was to manage him with Yildiz to have something more in the second half”.
