Journalist praises Thiago Motta for his substitutions against Inter Milan | OneFootball

Juventus delivered a thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan, staging a remarkable comeback from two goals down to earn a point in a dramatic clash. This match came at a crucial time for the Bianconeri, who had just suffered their first competitive defeat of the season to Stuttgart earlier in the week. With several key players unavailable due to injuries, Juventus fans were looking for a strong response from their team, and they certainly got one.

The encounter saw both teams display their quality, as each looked capable of snatching all three points at different stages. Inter Milan, however, was under more pressure to secure a victory, given their status as defending champions and favourites to retain the Scudetto. They were in a commanding position, leading 4-2 late into the game and seemingly on course for a win. Yet, Juventus displayed tremendous resilience and character, launching a late rally to score twice and salvage a draw. This performance illustrated the fighting spirit and potential of a youthful Juve squad that continues to grow under Thiago Motta’s management.

Kenan Yildiz played a pivotal role in the comeback, coming on in the second half to make a significant impact on the game. His contributions helped inspire the Bianconeri’s resurgence, demonstrating why he is regarded as one of the club’s bright young talents. The decision to bring Yildiz on was one of several key substitutions made by Motta that altered the course of the match.

Journalist Nicola Gallo praised Motta’s tactical acumen, especially his substitutions, which proved to be game-changing. Gallo remarked, as quoted by Tuttojuve:

“Juve is a very young team, they held the field and then took advantage of the drop in tension and probably physical condition of their opponents. Of course, Thiago Motta was also good because the substitutions changed the game, some seemed a bit strange but he was right.”

This statement highlights Motta’s strategic mindset, as his decisions allowed Juventus to capitalise on Inter’s fatigue and loss of concentration. It was a testament to his ability to make bold calls under pressure and adjust his approach to suit the needs of the moment.

The draw will boost Juventus’ morale, reaffirming their belief that they can compete with the top teams in Serie A despite the challenges posed by injuries. Motta’s tactical prowess and the team’s determination are positive signs that the Bianconeri are on the right path, even if there are still areas to improve as the season progresses.
