Thiago Motta believes that there is much more from Randal Kolo Muani, who immediately had an impact at Juventus.
Kolo Muani joined Juve on loan from Paris Saint-Germain last month and played on Sunday in the 4-1 victory of the Bianceri on 4-1 on Empoli.
Juve went behind for four minutes, but Kolo Muani's Double placed them in the front, before late goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conukicao plung the victory.
Kolo Muani became the second player who scored in each of his first two Serie A performances for Juve in the era of three points per win, after Carlos Tevez in 2013.
“I expect even more from him,” said a delighted Motta.
“There was a little nervousness, so I want to praise my boys.
“Today we were good at winning the game and playing better than our opponents. Warm compliments for my boys who played a game of character and courage.
“I saw many players taking responsibility on the field today and we took home what we deserved.”

Kolo Muani added: “We are happy, we wanted to win this competition.
“[We earned] Three important points, and the goal is to keep winning. It is incredible to be here, we have to continue on this path. “
Motta had a conversation with Vlahovic on the touchline before he introduced the striker, and Juve's coach was happy with what he saw from the Serbian.
“I like to see Vlahovic like that and show his power. He must always be that way,” Motta added.
“I congratulate the team, these guys always fight and commit. I see it and I am happy for them.”
