Thiago Motta: ‘The red card? I went too far with my complaints’

Juventus head coach Thiago Motta addressed the media following his team’s match against Bologna, which ended in a dramatic comeback for the Bianconeri. The game, which took place in Turin, saw Juventus trailing 2-0 before mounting a spirited fightback to salvage a draw.

Motta began by praising his team’s resilience: “The game was almost over after we went 2-0 down, but the boys showed great heart to come back. They continued pushing and managed to equalize. It’s clear that in the second half, after falling behind like that, we took some risks.”

The manager also addressed his own dismissal during the match, taking responsibility for his actions: “What happened with Marchetti? He was right to send me off. I got angry and made a gesture that I should have avoided. I went overboard with my complaints.”

Despite the challenges faced during the Bologna match, Motta remained optimistic about Juventus’ upcoming Champions League fixture against Manchester City. He stated, “City? I think there’s no better time to face City. There’s no better moment to take on a team of that caliber.”
