Juventus boss Thiago Motta hails Khephren Thuram after Udinese win: “A complete performance” | OneFootball

Serie A giants Juventus picked up a rather comfortable 2-0 win over Udinese earlier today, as they came back to winning ways in the competition.

The first half was a rather bright one for the Old Lady, as Khephren Thuram put on a show and had a role to play in the own goal from Udinese. Nicolo Savona got his first ever goal for the senior side later in the half, as the Bianconeri climbed back upto being third in the table.

It was probably Thuram’s best performance of the campaign for the Bianconeri and Thiago Motta took note of it during the post-game press conference.

He said, as relayed by TMW: “We all have to improve, me first in preparing the match, in trying to put each player in the right role, create a team harmony that can work. We can still improve, in the counter-attack today we did very well, in the first half we found a team ready to recover and restart, we were good at not giving him this opportunity.

“The performance was excellent by Thuram, technically speaking very good, he has something different from the other midfielders, he played a complete match, he deserves it for the work he does, the credit goes to him because he is very focused on the work”.

The summer signing did make a slow start to the season but he has now fully settled in and is showing his ability to carry the ball from midfield and make an impact in the final third. He will have a huge role to play, as the games come thick and fast.
