Juve took a slim 2-1 lead after the first legs of their round 16 play-off.
“Many things have changed, including the importance of the competition, that it is more than 180 minutes instead of a one -off,” Motta told Sky Italia.
“It is a victory, a step in the right direction, but we must also be at the maximum level in the second stage to face an attacking side that presses and plays really good football. We will be ready to achieve our goal, that must continue in the Champions League.
“I agree that it was a very balanced match and we have certainly improved to bring more bodies in the box.
“We are constantly working on this, both at home and road, because we have to attack the penalty area and too often we have not had enough support in those situations. We have done a little better tonight, we discuss it every day, the more bodies in the box and the better the chance that you will score.
“We have a very attacking full-back in Timothy Weah, but also three midfielders, three strikers, all players who have to attack the box, because you can score goals there.”
He added: “This sport is about the collective and when I talk about individuals, I am the one who has to improve. I have always said it, I lead this team, I have to explain to them many things and explain them better.
“The attitude is the basis of this profession, it is the basis of everything. They can all contribute in different ways, depending on their characteristics, but it is a team sport and we should never forget that. “
