Thiago Motta expressed his satisfaction with Juventus' willingness to take risks after their 3-0 victory over Hellas Verona. This win followed another 3-0 triumph against Como, marking a strong start to their Serie A campaign. Dusan Vlahovic scored twice, and Nicolo Savona added another goal, helping Juve secure back-to-back wins for the first time since the 2019-20 season.

Motta believes that adopting a high-risk, high-reward approach is crucial for success. "You can see the group's attitude from the way they press the opponent," he told DAZN. "They take risks, but if you recover the ball it's a big advantage." He emphasised the importance of this phase of the game and highlighted the collective effort required. "Today our forwards worked hard and well, having this balance is very important because it leads us to play games like this."

Juventus are currently the only team to have won both of their first two league matches this season. This achievement marks the first time since 2010-11 that a single team has secured full points after two matches in a Serie A season, with Chievo being the last team to do so.

Motta also praised Vlahovic for his leadership qualities within the team. "A positive leader in the group," Motta said of Vlahovic, who has now scored six Serie A goals against Verona. "He played for the team, doing a lot of movement and above all he is a player who knows how to score goals." Motta expressed his satisfaction with Vlahovic's performance and urged him to continue in this manner.

Vlahovic had missed several chances against Como but found his scoring form against Verona. Reflecting on his performance, Vlahovic said, "I was a bit unlucky with Como, but today the goals arrived and I'm happy with the attitude of the team." He attributed their success to their hard work and dedication.

"The results are the consequence of the work we do," Vlahovic added. His ability to bounce back from missed opportunities demonstrates his resilience and determination.

Overall, Juventus' strong start to the season highlights their effective strategy and teamwork. The combination of risk-taking and balanced play has proven successful so far, setting a positive tone for their Serie A campaign.
