Thiago Motta Continues Tactical Experiments at Juventus with Versatile 4-2-3-1 Formation

Juventus manager Thiago Motta expressed satisfaction with his team’s progress following their 2-1 victory against Monza. The win ended a streak of four consecutive draws for the Bianconeri, who remain undefeated in Serie A this season.

Motta highlighted the flexibility of players like Nico Gonzalez and Weston McKennie, praising their ability to adapt to different roles. “It’s a pleasure to work with players who have this attitude,” Motta commented.

The match saw Juventus deploy an experimental lineup, featuring Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, and Dusan Vlahovic together for the first time. Motta emphasized the importance of versatility, stating that player positioning would depend on form and match strategy.

Particularly noteworthy was Gonzalez’s role as a central attacking midfielder. Motta expressed confidence in Gonzalez’s ability to play multiple positions, including on either wing or as a center-forward. “When a player can perform in various roles, it shows they pay attention to their teammates and are constantly looking to improve,” Motta explained.

Despite the win, Juventus remains nine points behind league leaders Atalanta. However, Motta maintains a focus on game-by-game improvement rather than fixating on the league table. “We only look at the standings at the end of the season. Until then, we approach each match aiming for maximum results,” he concluded.

As Juventus continues to evolve under Motta’s guidance, fans can expect further tactical experimentation and positional fluidity from the team in upcoming matches.
