Thiago Motta defends Juventus talent after recent criticism

However, Motta defended the 19-year-old who had received the Juventus’ No.10 at the beginning of the season.

“I’m happy with what Kenan is doing. He always puts the quality at the team’s service. He can do more, like everyone else, but I am happy with what I see,” Motta said at a press conference on Monday.

“We don’t pay attention to it, but never forget that he was born in 2005. He is giving a lot to the team. I see the right attitude and desire to improve. He must continue and we can all improve.”
