Juventus coach Thiago Motta has seen improvement with his side using more players in the penalty area for attacking plays. After their 2-1 Champions League play-off first leg win over PSV Eindhoven. The Bianconeri
took a first-half lead through Weston McKennie, although they were level in the second half before substitute Samuel Mbangula’s 82nd-minute winner gave them the lead.
“It was a very tight game and of course what we have improved is getting more players into the penalty area,” Motta said after the win over the Dutch champions. “
Too many times before we lacked support in the penalty area. Tonight we did better. “
We work on it regularly. We talk every day. If there are more players in the penalty area, we have more chances to score. “
We have a very attacking full-back like Weah, a midfield three and a forward three. They have to attack the penalty area. ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี. That’s where you can score goals.”
Juventus played PSV in the same stadium in September for the league phase. And won with a slightly higher score of 3-1
. “A lot of things changed from that game, especially the importance of the game and it being two legs instead of one,” the 42-year-old head coach continued.
“Today we won again, we are taking a step in the right direction, but we still have to be at our best for the second leg because the opponent is an attacking, pressing team and plays very good football.”
