Motta talk after Lille’s match‼️

🗣 Thiago Motta to ‘Sky Sport’:

DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESULT – “I am not satisfied by the result because we were looking for something else, but on the performance yes because I’m happy with what we have done. Of course, we can improve certain things but on the performance in general I’m satisfied”.

WHAT SHOULD BE IMPROVED – “In attack we could have done better in the last 20 meters, mainly in the first half. In the second, the quality of play has improved and we could see it from the beginning that we were facing a team that was looking to counter attack and there the quality of play is really important, not to let the opponent run away. But we have found a team that knew what to do, that has a lot of confidence. It was a nice game but I’ve seen a great performance by the boys and now we need to recover to focus on the derby”.

THE PROJECT IS GOING FORWARD – “In a goal, there are normally some mistakes that we can surely avoid but in general we had a great game giving continuity to what we are doing. The team has balance, knows where to attack and on the sides we made their lives difficult, we took advantage of the midfielders and the fullbacks that joined. I’m happy with the game reading of the boys on the pitch, with the game we had. And now, we need to recover well and prepare for the next game that will be important because it is a derby. We want to play it at the maximum and I’m happy with what we are doing to date”.

YILDIZ AND CONCEICAO TOGETHER – “The two that played from the beginning are doing well and are in form. We knew it was going to be difficult because Lille closes well and relaunches. On the 1v1, Yildiz and Conceicao have these characteristics that help when we face teams that close their defense. I liked a lot mainly the second half. In the first half, we were a bit low, then we raised the center of gravity and we created so much. I’m happy with both their performances”. 🔚
