Motta ‘satisfied’ despite drab goalless draw at Milan

While Juventus' 0-0 draw against Milan provided little entertainment at the San Siro, Thiago Motta was happy with his side's performance.

The goalless draw produced few chances for either team, but it allowed Juventus to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, in which they have kept ten clean sheets in thirteen games.

Motta became only the fifth Juventus manager not to lose any of his first thirteen games on the Bianconeri bench in Serie A history (W6 D7) – after Jesse Carver, Cestmir Vycpalek, Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri.

The match featured just three shots on target, with only one falling to Milan as they struggled to trouble their visitors.

“I'm pleased with the job we've done, especially defensively,” Motta told DAZN.

“We didn't get anything against the opponents; open play is their strong point and we managed to block them.”

Juve have already drawn seven league games this season, but Motta was happy with one more point given the growing list of injuries he is dealing with.

Dusan Vlahovic missed the trip to Milan with a muscle problem suffered while on international duty and Juve were already without Arkadiusz Milik, Nicolas Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Juan Cabal and Bremer.

“This point can give us continuity in our work. I am proud of my players because in the situation we are in we have performed well,” Motta added.

“I am satisfied with tonight's work and with many things. So far we have to be happy, the path is the right one.”
