Bologna led 0-2 in Turin through Dan Ndoye and Tommaso Pobega, before Juve fought back late through Teun Koopmeiners and Samuel Mbangula.
“My players always have freedom, especially against a team that plays man for man,” Motta said on DAZN.
“It was almost game over after being 2-0 down, but my boys showed a lot of heart to get things back on track and that's the positive. They kept going under difficult circumstances and managed to take the point.
“After being 2-0 down, we obviously had to take more risks and it was difficult for us to play against Bologna at the back when they were pressing so high. I had also said before the game that we might have to go over the top and make the most of the midfield advantage to play three-on-three in their half.
“Of course in such situations they are more likely to protect their defense and not go man for man.
“I would really like to see our defense slide back and the midfield stay in place. We've done several things in terms of our properties. I think we can improve in every situation to raise the level of our performance.”
Motta was sent off late and admitted: “(Matteo) Marchetti was right to send me off today. I complained, I made a gesture I shouldn't have done. I was exaggerated in my complaints.”
