Juve will make the trip to Philips Stadion on Wednesday in high spirits after their late win over the Dutch side in the first leg preceded a 1-0 Serie A victory against champions Inter on Sunday.
Weston McKennie and Samuel Mbangula were on target either side of Ivan Perisic's strike in the reverse fixture, though Motta will not take the defensive approach to see his side into the last-16 stage.
"This is the most important game of our season. We've taken an important first step but it's not enough,"바카라 웹사이트Motta told reporters on Tuesday.
"We don't know how to play to get a draw and we take to the field to win. In football, you have to be prepared to do anything and think about everything. It will be important to use our heads well.
"We have to hope that our team is at its best in every aspect. We want to do our best to deserve a place in the next round."
Juventus have twice beaten PSV this season following a 3-1 home win in their Champions League opener in September, though only five teams have won three games against an opponent in a single campaign in the competition – Ajax v Milan (1994-95), Bayern Munich v Real Madrid (1999-00), Liverpool v PSV (2006-07), Manchester United v Roma (2007-08) and Barcelona v Paris Saint-Germain바카라 웹사이트(2014-15).
A tough challenge awaits, too, as PSV바카라 웹사이트are unbeaten in their last 12 home matches in major European competition (W7 D5), including winning each of their last three
Motta knows Juve must be at their best to pass the test, starting with his strikers leading from the front.
"We have to press them very hard up front because if we leave spaces in front of them they play very well," he added.
"They're used to attacking with a lot of men. We have to use the ball well with quality and intensity to create goalscoring opportunities and convert them."
Juve have drawn each of their last three away games in the Champions League, the last two of which being goalless (v Aston Villa and Club Brugge), and another one on Wednesday would send them through.
They will fancy their chances as well given Juventus have progressed from their last 20 European Cup/바카라 웹사이트Champions League knockout stage ties when winning the first leg.
