Today Thiago Motta said after a match against Atletico that he is convinced of the quality & performance of squad and they were improving constantly

Actually, I am very hopeful about Juventus this season. I think finally they will be able to overcome the problems that they had and will be able to start performing well, and consistently. Now I don’t think that success is going to come instantly, they will have to work really hard. I mean finishing in the top 4 positions is already going to be very hard for them. And if Thiago Motta actually wants to compete for the title, that is going to be extra hard. Yes at the start of the season, you can't expect they are not going to bring in consistent results. Because we have to remember that they are going to play under a new coach. And it will take time for them to actually get used to with the new tactics of Thiago Motta. So I will say I am hopeful and I am expecting them to bring in consistent results after a few matches.

Maybe I trust Thiago Motta now. because he also managed to change Bologna for the better in just two seasons. Last season, Bologna even managed to get tickets to the UCL thanks to the coach, Thiago Motta. So if Thiago Motta is able to make Bologna experience development then I don't think it will be difficult for Thiago Motta to bring development to Juventus too. But the problem is that nothing is instant. Everything will require a process and the process takes time. So in his first season at Juventus we don't need to have too high hopes. Well, because after all he is still new at Juventus and all the players have to adapt to his coaching style.

And yes, after finishing the pre-season match against Atletico Madrid we saw Juventus lose. But Thiago Motta actually feels confident that Juventus is getting better and better. And the most important thing is that currently Juventus has not finished the player transfer window. there are still several players to be brought in. For example, Juventus is currently targeting Nico Gonzales from Fiorentina.

Juventus needs to start the season very well. If they start the league well, it will be motivating for both the coach and the players and it will be easier for them to achieve the success they want. The Italian league is a difficult league and it is very difficult to make a prediction without playing the matches and seeing if the teams are ready. If Motta can take what he achieved last season to a higher level this season, it could be a great opportunity for them.

Other teams are also making additions to their squads and the quality of the league continues to increase. It looks like there will be a tough championship race this year. Since pre-season friendlies are games where the teams do not show their full performance, it can be misleading to make an assessment based on the scores in these games.
