The France international passed his medical at J-Medical yesterday before agreeing a direct loan deal.
Before Saturday night's match against AC Milan, Motta was asked about the transfer during his media conference. He also addressed rumors that Manchester City would bid for full-back Andrea Cambiaso.
How is the team? On Alberto Costa?
“The team is doing well and they are preparing for the next match against Milan. Alberto is doing very well and has brought energy and enthusiasm. He will be able to help the team.”
About Kolo Muani and Andrea Cambiaso?
“Andrea looks great and will play tomorrow. I am very happy with Randal, he is a very interesting player for us. Now we are waiting for some bureaucratic paperwork. If everything is fine, he will be with the group, otherwise we will we are waiting.”
Can Dusan Vlahovic and Kolo Muani play together?
“All good players of the same level can play together.”
About the choice of goalkeepers?
“Today we had a situation with Mattia (Perin), yesterday in training and today he could not participate, we hope he can be with the group. Di Gregorio will be the starting goalkeeper tomorrow. I am very happy with the goalkeepers we have As I have always said, Michele (Di Gregorio) is playing a lot more and I am happy with the performance, but at the same time I am happy with the training of the three.”
How will Milan change without Alvaro Morata?
“In the end, we are talking about high-level players, who are used to playing matches at a high level. The most important thing is to be ready to play a great match at the maximum level to be able to achieve victory.”
Are Juve improving physically?
“The team has always been good from a physical point of view. The physical demands are different, you know we have had difficult situations with players who could not play because of a physical problem. But those who have gone on the court have always been good done, even though we made too many mistakes in the last game in terms of quality of play and understanding of the opponent. Physically, I always see the boys in good shape.”
What did you say to Kolo Muani?
“I expect everything from Randal, both on and off the field. I asked him to train well, work well and do everything he needs to do to be available. I asked him, I ask all my players.”
Why is there tension?
“Is there anything positive when you ask me a question? There are a lot of negative things in the question. I think the first leg was a match that was played in a way that was also based on our situations, how we came to this match. The draws? I've talked about it many times, we are the first ones who are not happy, I have done well in many games, what we saw on the field is not enough.
“I see an improvement in the team, but not only compared to the last match, but I repeat why it is important: we are not happy with the results, nor with the standings. We want to be at the top and we We work every day for victory, which is our goal. We have another important match, a great team, in our stadium. We have done a good preparation to get to this match, with the final goal of victory being less positive .We are the first to want a different kind of result and we are working working hard to get there.”
Is the market an opportunity or a threat?
“We know the market and it's part of the game. Andrea looks great and will play tomorrow. Alberto is part of the group and will help the team. We are waiting for Randal, if all is well he will join us tomorrow are.”
What did you see differently in the stands against Atalanta?
“Seeing the game from above is a different emotion than that of the coach. On the bench you feel it differently, up there it is not the same. I saw a team that is improving a lot, it is growing a lot. I have seen a few too many .” mistakes when it comes to the technical aspect. Technically we have played very well so far. Even considering Atalanta we missed a few too many balls, this is so we can continue to grow and improve.
“But with the technology we have today, I look at it with the same camera from above. You can see a lot of movements, not only the ball, but also a lot of things that were not possible before. They are tools that help, they also let you seeing situations that help you improve. Even if we don't participate in the game, I will finish my answer and say: I always see it from that perspective, not live, but seeing it in the game is different and I was very sorry that not being there was unfair, but decisions are respected.”
How much difference would it make to go to the Champions League or not?
“We definitely want to stay in the Champions League zone. Tomorrow we have an important opportunity to play Milan at home, with respect for the opponent. Always looking for victory. It is clear that the championship will not end tomorrow and that we will miss it for a while.” We will miss it immensely tomorrow, focused, motivated, to put in a great performance and get the win.”
How sad would you be to lose Cambiaso?
“You said something right: I don't like to talk about the market, let alone whether… Imagine if I have nothing to add. Andrea Cambiaso is doing very well and will be on the field tomorrow. That is established.”
Did you ask not to sell anyone?
“Yes, I already asked not to sell players. And they sold them (laughs).”
