  1. Tactics and Formations

    This is part of my disappointment no to see Kulusevski joining Juve this winter and staying at Parma.
  2. Tactics and Formations

    I think, considering the players at disposal and the actual physical fitness of the team, a 3-4-1-2 would be the best formation possible: The Polish De Ligt Bonucci Chiellini Cuadrado Pjanic Betancur Alex Sandro Berna or Ramsey Dybala...
  3. Where are you guys?

    Sorry to dig out old topics, but I currently attend to Italian classes for beginners in my academic cursus (Italiano Elementare Uno, since January), due partially I was unable to get a place for a Spanish classes (I spent 3 years of Spanish in high school in my country in Africa), and because I...
  4. Blaise Matuidi

    I still stand on my point to be in favour of Matuidi's contract extension - 1 or 2 years max, with progressive decrease salary. A competitive team need a player like him (even if it's not the most skilled player in the world) who can break opponents lines and keep pressure on them, who can be...
  5. Champions League 2019/20

    When a team has Neymar in his squad bookers will always consider each year would be Neymar's outbreak...
  6. Summer Mercato Thread 2020-21

    I hope - I really do - Paratic will go all in for Kevin De Bryune this summer. Blank check, your numbers are our numbers. Sign. Act.
  7. Emre Can

    Juventus paid almost 16M euros in commissions, this is why a 1M loan + 27M option-now-activated ends to a 12.4 M plusvalenza.
  8. Maurizio Sarri

    But I read somewhere Pochettino is from an Italian immigrant family (like 40% of Argentinians, one would say) and have even direct cousins living in Italy, this is why I wondered if it can be considered as an Italian.
  9. Juventus Next Gen

    I really hoped Juventus would be able to have 2-3 good enough players for the first team every 5 years or so, as bare minimum. But this never happened, unlike teams like Ajax, Lyon, Barcelona, or (just to stick with Italian teams) even Atalanta and Roma. The real last bunch of good players...
  10. Maurizio Sarri

    Did Pochettino account for an Italian ?
  11. Summer Mercato Thread 2020-21

    I remember, on there former Juventino forum (largest French-speaking one) I attended, people weren't convinced by Klopp in reference of the way Allegri outplayed him in CL Round of 16 against Dortmund. I have to acknowledge I was part of them... I though he was just a unidimensional coach "a la...
  12. Fabio Paratici

    I'm not praising Marotta but I pointed out the fact that Juve gave opponents weapons to harm himself... and yes, I include Paratici on the midfield disaster occurring in this squad since 3 years because he was part of the Board (with Marotta), so he has his share of responsibilities. I don't...
  13. Fabio Paratici

    I was always sceptical about this well spread opinion... The fact is Marotta will get the Scudetto this year (a guy Juventus sacked) with Conte as a head coach (the guy Juventus refused), while Paratici and Nedved will remain at the management (the guys who screwed up the depth of the team and...
  14. Douglas Costa

    3rd or 4th injury for this current season... like Bernadeschi, like Khedira, like De Sciglio, it's not a matter of "if" but "when"... The squad already had 4 injuries players expected to come back in the incoming weeks (Chiellini, Danilo, Khedira, Bernadeschi) and 1 done this season...
  15. Maurizio Sarri

    Me too I'm no convinced by Pep "Ciro Di Marzio" Guardiola... his tiki taka will never lift up in Juventus.
