The words of Thiago Motta

Thiago Motta spoke after the draw in Lille: “I am happy with the performance, but not with the result because although we tried, we did not manage to bring home what we wanted. In the offensive phase we had to do better in the last twenty meters, however in the second half we managed to improve the quality of the game”.

“I am happy with the reading of the boys on the field, I am happy with the game we played, toò now recover becauseé the next game è the derby and è an important challenge”, he concluded.
