Juventus Turin head coach Thiago Motta commented on his team's victory in the 1st round of the Italian championship against Como.
- "I intuitively felt that we needed to play Mbangula. I expect great things not only from him but from the whole team. He played today because he deserved it with his work. We showed great team football.
"Como had a great season in Serie B and came with a lot of enthusiasm. We treated them with the same respect as always. When we needed to defend, we did, and when we had the ball, we had a lot of skillful players who made smart decisions," said Thiago Motta.
