On September 29th, in the sixth round of Serie A, Juventus secured a commanding 3-0 victory away against Genoa. At the post-match press conference, Juventus head coach Motta spoke about the match, emphasizing that the team’s sixth consecutive clean sheet was a result of collective effort.
Motta discussed the tactical adjustments made by Juventus during the game: “Ildiz’s proactive cutting inside provided more space for our wing players, effectively countering Genoa’s defensive setup. After we took the lead, Genoa had to push forward aggressively to turn things around, which opened up more counterattack opportunities for us; we could have won by a larger margin.”
Juventus has maintained a clean sheet in all six rounds so far, and Motta commented: “This is an interesting statistic, thanks to our team’s efforts. All players are united on the field, which has kept us from conceding any goals in the league thus far. Our primary goal on the field is to win, followed by preventing the opponent from scoring, which is also an objective any ambitious team strives to achieve.”
In this match, Vlahovic scored twice, becoming the top contributor to Juventus’ victory. Motta remarked: “He has become a leader on the field. Even when we face difficulties and pressure, he continues to inspire the team. He always gives his all, whether in training or during matches.”
