The Dutchman, who struggled with Juve for form in his first season, scored in the 2-0 win last night.
Motta said: “He is an important player for us who can play a lot of roles because he has physical and technical qualities.
“He is able to interpret the game well, now he plays higher, he knows when to change position and when he has to get within the field to cause difficulties for the opponent.
“He is always the same, generous and supportive with his teammates. I am happy, he is a great player and it is a privilege to have him on our side. The goal is certainly important, but I have always defended him because I see him in training and I know what he can give and what he can give to the team.”
