Juve, Motta: “I feel the club’s confidence. I only think about Fiorentina”

Turin, March 15, 2025 – Thiago Motta he goes ahead and works without thinking about the future. Rumours about him are circulating, among those who claim that he risks being sent to the bench already Florence in case of a negative result and whoever considers him dismissed in June with Tale e Gasperini lurking. But these are not thoughts that can be in the mind of a coach who has to prepare for the next challenge, which is extremely delicate and also a direct clash. In Florence, Motta a piece of permanence and a piece of Juve in the next Champions League: too important for the management to have European revenues next season, to further restore the balance sheets and make management increasingly sustainable. Motta, in any case, does not care about the rumors and remains focused on the present.

Thiago: “I feel the trust of the club”

The meeting with journalists before Florence could not be limited to the match alone, against a strong team well trained by our friend Raffaele Palladino. Thiago feels the air of dismissal, or at least the environment, but for him there are no problems in the club and the trust has remained. Here he is in a press conference: "Do I feel the club's trust? Yes, I was pleased with the closeness of the ownership during the week and we are focused on the match in Florence", the coach's dry response. And even if we talk about the future, with an accompanying question, Motta he doesn't change his mantra: "I don't think about my future, it's not the priority. We just have to think about the game and we've had a great week of work to put in a good performance in Florence", the coach's message. No problem, then, the rumours, they're part of the job. On the other hand, someone has always said that coaches are divided into those who have been fired and those who will be: "In our world, coaches are always questioned and I'm the first to do so. You have to stay clear-headed and calm and there is constant communication with the club".

Moment of great pressure for Motta who exited all three cups (Super Cup, Champions League and Italian Cup) and the defeat against Atalanta has excluded him from the Scudetto fight: "We have the responsibility to do our best and the players have always done so. We are totally focused on the match and it would be wrong to think about the rest". Far from the whistles of the Stadium, the Juve will try to reverse the trend and Motta is clear about this: "We want to compete with Fiorentina, we will have to win as many duels as possible and it is an opportunity to demonstrate our value. It is up to us to get the best result and we must try to change this situation. There is a particular atmosphere in our house and we want to change it". For Juve some returns. Conceicao, Rouhi and Savona are available again, who will certainly give Motta more rotation. Kick-off at 18:16 on Sunday XNUMX March.
