Juve boss Thiago Motta gives Promising Fitness Update on Injured Forward

TURIN, ITALY - JANUARY 18: Kenan Yildiz of Juventus during the Serie A match between Juventus and AC Milan at Allianz Stadium on January 18, 2025 in Turin, Italy. Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz reportedly suffered a suspected adductor injury in last night’s spectacular 2-0 home victory against Milan. Yet, head coach Thiago Motta hopes his rising attacking star could soon return to action. Speaking to the press after the game via the club’s official website, Motta congratulated his Juventus players for avenging a heart-wrenching 2-1 defeat in the Supercoppa Italiana earlier this month. Samuel Mbangula and Tim Weah were on the scoresheet as the Bianconeri returned to the win column in Serie A for the first time since late December. “Winning is always good because it brings enthusiasm. ...

(Photo by Image Photo Agency/Getty Images) Juventus defeated Monza last night, bringing an end to their lengthy winless run in Serie A that had stretched to at least two months. The Bianconeri have gained a reputation as draw specialists in Europe this season, a consistency that has allowed them to remain unbeaten in the league but has frustrated fans hoping for a more decisive title challenge. While not the most effective way to contend for the Scudetto, Juventus has now won back-to-back matches, including a long-awaited league victory, which offers renewed optimism. It has been a challenging period for the team, and t...

Motta ‘satisfied’ after Juventus’ draw at Milan: “We gave them very little”

Thiago Motta of Juventus during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Juventus at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on November 23, 2024 in Milan, Italy. Juventus boss Thiago Motta was satisfied with his team’s performance as they held AC Milan to a 0-0 draw at San Siro last night. Milan went into the game realistically needing to win in order to establish themselves as Scudetto contenders after an inconsistent start to the season. However, there was very little in terms of attacking impetus or creativity from the Rossoneri, who were unable to break down a Juve side who probably came for a draw. It feels like a big missed opportunity for Paulo Fonseca’s side and they could go 10 points off top spot if Napoli beat Roma later today. Motta spoke to DAZN after the full-time whistle to give his though...

Juventus’ unbeaten run ends in Roma draw

Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Roma on Sunday, ending Thiago Motta’s perfect start as coach of the Serie A giants. A match short on action and goalmouth incident left Juve on seven points from their first three matches of the new campaign. Motta’s team are behind champions and league leaders Inter Milan on goals scored after a much less inspiring performance than the two three-goal wins which preceded it. “It was an even match and the right result,” said Motta to Sky Sport. “We’re only on our third game and today we played a team which is hard to play against, with a good coach and good players… There are lots of things we can improve. “It’s very early in the season, let’s see where we are at the business end of the season, for now it’s too early to talk about our objectives...

Thiago Motta hails Juventus performances from young talents

Thiago Motta was not surprised by Samuel Mbangula scoring on his shock debut as Juventus crushed Como 3-0, but outlined how Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz combined upfront. The Bianconeri had stuttered in pre-season and there were doubts as to what the real identity of this team would be under a very different coach to predecessor Max Allegri. There were also eyebrows raised when 20-year-old Next Gen talent Samuel Mbangula was picked in the starting XI rather than massive investment Douglas Luiz, but it was the young winger who opened the scoring against Como. Tim Weah added a second on the stroke of half-time from a Kenan Yildiz pull-back, Andrea Cambiaso sealed the 3-0 rout, while Vlahovic hit the woodwork twice and had a goal ruled offside. “I had good sensations about Mb...
