Motta demands improvement as Juve battles Udinese

Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, has beckoned on his side to improve on all aspects, as they travel to face Udinese.

Juve plays against Udinese on the back of a 2-2 draw at home to Parma in midweek.

Ahead of the Udinese clash, the Old Ladies gaffer admitted that his boys needs improvement if they are to challenge in Serie A this season.

“We must improve collectively, be united and help each other more.”

“We have to do much better to stay high up in the standings, which is the important thing now. We have to go to Udine convinced, concrete, to put in a great performance. To get the result we want to get, climb the standings and continue like this”, Motta said.

He also said they need to be aggressive and allow less space to avoid conceding.

Having conceded only one goal in their first eight league games, Juve went on to allow in six goals in two games.

“ We have to regroup, be aggressive, leaving less space because in Serie A, the teams we will face, leave as little space as possible and as little time as possible to counterattack and to find spaces between the lines”, he added.

However, Motta said the issue lies not in defence alone but his side’s overall coordination and decision-making.

“We must make the best decisions as a team. We can’t let the opponents feel comfortable on the pitch”, the Old Ladies coach said.
