viagramof – Cristian Chivu, the former Romanian international full-back and Thiago Motta’s teammate, said:

“Motta found the right dimensions to develop his footballing vision,” Chivu said of the former Italian-Brazilian midfielder who helped Bologna qualify for the Champions League. “As a footballer, he had clear ideas and saw the complexity of the modern game. I asked myself: how could Barcelona give up a player like that?”

Kevo: Motta learned character and strength to manage the group from Mourinho

Motta was a product of Barcelona’s academy and made 147 first-team appearances before playing in Serie A for Genoa and Inter.

Kivu said Thiago Motta was influenced by his time training under Jose Mourinho As a player in Inter“He learned the importance of having the character and authority to manage a group, he found a good balance between his principles and the responsibility of the players to make decisions in modern, organised football.”

He concluded: “He knows what it means to win, first as a player and then as a coach, but he realises that at Juventus he has to accept some concessions. Relying on young players is important because of the financial aspects. He also knows that he has to adapt to the shortage of players.”
