Juventus lost two players at the start of the Champions League match against Leipzig. Bremer’s injury looked decidedly serious. Motta appreciated the attitude that won the game.
Thiago Motta’s Juventus achieved a truly historic success against Leipzig. Well, not the result, but because of the players’ ability to fight for each other. It is conceivable that the next great Juventus has just been born. The fans could see his foundations.
Juventus was able to win against Leipzig in a really competitive match, where they were hit by a lot of things. Two early injuries and a goalkeeper exhibition also made it difficult for them. That’s why the final result, the 3-2 away win, was indicative of the future. With a man disadvantage, we managed to turn it around and win.
The victory was slightly overshadowed by Bremer’s seemingly serious injury, the Brazilian defender struggled for the ball and took a bad step and hurt his left knee. It is not clear how big the problem is. But it will be clear in the next few days if there is a ligament tear. He struggled with enormous pain, and in the end he couldn’t even go down alone, but at least he didn’t leave the field on a stretcher. Which is probably a good sign. In the sixth minute, Gatti took his place.
In the 12th minute, Nico González had to be replaced, who remained on the ground holding his right thigh. González’s muscle injury is also not encouraging, but perhaps not so serious that it could ruin his season. He was replaced by Portuguese winger Francisco Conceicao. The Portuguese player who finally scored the winning goal after some beautiful moves.
Before that, Vlahovic equalized twice. His second goal was scored with a man disadvantage, as Di Gregorio was sent off by the referee in the 59th minute. The goalkeeper touched the ball with his hand outside the penalty area and thus prevented an attack promising a goal. He touched it very lightly, but the page was running.
Thiago Motta could not say anything specific about the two injured after the match. We have to wait for the results of the tests.
He praised the team’s courage and mentality. He pointed out that these players are wearing the shirt of a big club, so they have to have the mentality to match it. According to him, the guys showed their determination towards the club, the assistants and the fans today. They must continue this commitment and determination in the future.
