With Juve having an impressive historic record against Atalanta, having only lost twice in their past 40 Serie meetings, the Bianconeri fans are optimistic about Sunday’s showdown.
Under pressure Motta was full of positivity at the pre-match press conference before Juve tackle the Bergamo side, and stated: “Atalanta have quality players and a very good coach [,Gian Piero Gasperini] who helped me at a time that was not easy in my playing career.
“Atalanta are a unique team, and are characterised by always pressing high. They also have the ability to change their marking system during the match itself, they know how to play good football and leave little space for their opponent.
“We are aware of the quality of the opponent and we don't waste energy being distracted by anything else. We have to put everything we have worked on into practice to put in a great performance and get the win.
“We have to work to find a balance, they put a lot of responsibility on themselves but sometimes this gives an advantage to the opponent because they play with added pressure.
"I have great confidence because they [Juventus squad] work hard, because they are a team and they know exactly where they are and where they want to go.
“ “We have had a very good week of work, we are completely focused [on achieving victory].”
