Motta Discusses Juventus’ New Signings and Upcoming Napoli Match

Juventus manager Thiago Motta addressed the media ahead of Saturday’s crucial Serie A encounter with Napoli. He provided updates on the team’s new signings and his expectations for the match.

Motta expressed satisfaction with how the squad is progressing, noting that only Milik, Bremer and Cabal are unavailable for selection. He disagreed with comparisons between Juventus and Napoli’s situations last summer, emphasizing the unique challenges his team has faced.

Regarding recent arrivals, Motta indicated that Randal Kolo Muani is available for selection, praising the striker’s potential to contribute at a top club like Juventus. He also discussed the importance of competition within the squad, particularly in attack.

The coach concluded by praising Manuel Locatelli’s leadership, highlighting how the midfielder has naturally grown into the captain’s role through his exemplary attitude and performances.
