Juventus displayed remarkable team spirit and pressing prowess in their 3-0 victory against Verona on Monday, said manager Thiago Motta (41). The win propels them to the top of the Serie A standings after a similarly impressive 3-0 triumph over newly promoted Como in their season opener.
“You can see the group’s attitude from the way they press the opponent. They take risks, but if you recover the ball, it’s a big advantage,” Motta told DAZN following the match. He praised his players for their disciplined pressing and team-oriented play.
Striker Dusan Vlahovic led the charge with two goals, contributing significantly to Juventus’ commanding performance. “Congratulations to Dusan, but also to all the others who applied good pressure, allowing us to score,” Motta said, emphasizing the importance of collective effort in maintaining the team’s balance on the field.
Vlahovic, who netted his first Serie A goal since April, was pleased to be back on target. “We got the three points, and I’m happy for Nicolo Savona, the team, and the fans,” said the Serbian forward. “I was a bit unlucky against Como, but today the goals arrived, and I’m happy with the team’s attitude.”
Savona, 21, who made his first start for Juventus, also expressed his joy after the win. “Scoring was definitely a dream. Let’s hope we continue like this,” he said.
Motta’s satisfaction with the team’s performance was evident as he praised Vlahovic’s leadership and overall contribution. “He played for the team, doing a lot of movement, and above all, he knows how to score goals. I am satisfied with him; he must continue like this,” Motta added.
The win sets Juventus in good stead as they continue their Serie A campaign, with hopes high for continued success.
