Motta: My Relationship with Conte Has Always Been Good; Conceicao and Milik Will Miss the Match Against Napoli

At 00:00 on September 22, in the 5th round of Serie A, Juventus vs. Napoli. Before the match, Juventus head coach Motta attended the press conference.

Motta said, “It was very pleasant working with Conte during the European Championship in 2016, and my relationship with him has always been good.”

“Gatti can play, the only ones who cannot play are Conceicao and Milik, everyone else is available and has a chance to start or come on during the game.”

“Anything is possible, even having Douglas Luiz and Kuypmeinas on the field together is feasible. I was surprised by De Rossi’s dismissal, I sent him a message, which will obviously remain confidential.”

“We are all different, Conte and I are different too, but tomorrow we will have Juventus against Napoli, the focus will be on the players, those who give their all on the pitch to get results for us. Everything else is unimportant.”

“Generally speaking, with VAR, we have additional monitoring of dangerous fouls and strong tackles. We are discussing how to reduce time-wasting and try to avoid diving. People want to see the game, not fouls and time-wasting.”

“Vlahovic must have the ambition to constantly improve, as everyone must, starting with me. His cooperation with the team is continuously improving, he is in good form, smiling, and proactive. In the last game, he created opportunities for his teammates, I am satisfied with his work, he must continue on this path.”

“I don’t know if not having European competition tasks is an advantage, I only know that this is how things are, we knew the schedule before the season started. Napoli’s goal is to win the Serie A title, they won it two years ago and played highly praised football. We must consider how to perform well in tomorrow’s game with the support of our fans. Playing a serious and responsible game in front of our fans, striving to play our style of football.”
