Motta was pleased to see tactical changes proving successful on Sunday.
“We have always had difficulty with teams that defend and go on the counter. We had to end the game, this is part of the growth process, where we had to take the extra risk against these teams and possibly allow counter-attacks,” Motta said.
“We were in a position to make the transitions with quality in the second half when we took the lead, but we didn't do that well enough.”
On his midfield composition, he continued: “It depends on their form and the type of game we want to play against the opponent. Nico Gonzalez can do it very well, I see him in training and he has already played many roles in his career. If someone can play many different roles, it means that he pays attention to what his teammates are doing, that he is special and wants to constantly improve himself.
“Nico Gonzalez can play on the right or on the left, as a centre-forward, but I see him doing well there too. Like I said, I only use players in a role if they are convinced they can do it.”
Juve are nine points ahead of Serie A leaders Atalanta.
“We only look at the table at the end of the season. To do this, we look at it match by match and try to achieve the maximum result against each opponent,” said Motta.
