Motta, after the 4-0 defeat to Atalanta: I am sad and disappointed, but

Thiago Motta spoke at the press conference after the 4-0 defeat against Atalanta, at the Allianz Stadium.

What are your words after this loss?

Atalanta deserved the win, we knew their style of play. We started the game well, but after the first goal we had difficulty reacting. We tried to attack without organization and that caused us more problems. Then, we conceded the second goal after a mistake on the way out. After that we lost our balance even more, despite our efforts to move forward. They deserved it. Every game is crucial, because when you are at Juve, every challenge is essential.

What do you think about the substitutions after the second goal?

We wanted to maintain balance. Our difficulty was creating chances. We sought to balance the situation to create more. Yildiz starter? With hindsight, every decision seems easier...

Has the hype surrounding the title fight affected you?

Everything affects, but within the team we have tried to keep the balance. Today we are disappointed, it will be difficult to sleep. Everything can affect, because we are Juventus. The fans, like the press, have the right to think as they want.

Why did you lose the three most important games of the season?

Every match is important and decisive. At Juventus, every match has this weight.

How do you explain the second goal conceded?

Atalanta deserved the win. Then, after the penalty, which was questionable for me, the game became very difficult. After that we lost control of the game. We knew they would wait for our mistakes, and that's what happened with the second goal. They took advantage of our mistakes. After the second goal we didn't have a chance to react and they controlled the game.

Does this team deserve this position in the rankings?

The facts show that we are where we are. This team has great potential for improvement. After the first goal we suffered a lot. We are very disappointed, but now we have to focus on the next match.

It was a difficult match against a strong team. We started well, but the penalty affected us. This is a criticism of ourselves, because we did not react as we should have. If you expect dramatic scenes from me, I am not like that. I am a serious and honest person, I know the superiority of the opponent. I am sad and disappointed. Tomorrow we must find the strength to start again. I must unite the team even more.
