Content of Mota's interview:
Season Performance:
We've had a great season together so far," said Motta. Goalkeeper Skorupski is a brilliant man who contributes a lot on and off the pitch. I agree with him when he says we have built a great team, played such great games and achieved what we have so far."
About the future:
This comes after reports claimed that Motta could leave Bologna this summer and become the preferred target of the new Juve boss. To this, Motta responded, "We must now enjoy the celebration party and then I will discuss the future internally with the club's president and we will communicate together to discuss our decision."
Relationships with players:
The most important thing for me is this good relationship with the players," said Motta. I look at everyone's face and I try to bring them what they deserve. Not every player gets a chance to play, sometimes they work hard to get a chance, but not everyone gets to play. But I love each one of them and that's what I tell them."
Accomplishments this season:
Bologna and Juventus are currently tied on 68 points and Motta said, "If someone had told me before this season that we could be tied with Juve with the last round of the league left, I would have thought him delirious. But from the first round of the league, the players have shown a willingness to help, improve and respect each other in healthy competition."
A look at the future of the team:
Motta said, "The team always gives their all in games and no one could have predicted our results, but today we achieved a great result. The players are hungry, they want to work well and we have to enjoy it."
Special mention is made of Salmacres:
Motta said, "I'm happy with Salmacres, he's done well and he can do better. He wanted to come here to prove his worth and he was perfect in the team."
Mota expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance and looked ahead to the future. He emphasized the hard work and unity of the players and looks forward to continued good results in the upcoming season.
