    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    I'm even more interested to see how will our sales go. Obviously we have veterans on high wages, who do not contribute much. It's not gonna be easy to get rid of them and that will probably be a deciding factor regarding the purchases. If we can't get rid of them, then we will probably do some...

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    Hopefully the mercato won't be as frustrating as our football. The decision to keep Sarri or not should be made already and if we do replace Sarri, the replacement must be agreed already.

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    We did play 3 or 5 matches more than teams in other leagues, but people in the fitness staff didn't manage to optimally prepare our players. Of course, it was impossible for any team to have same fitness as in March and April, but our players dropped dead.

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    Normally we would have, Dule. But right now we didn't stand a chance because the fitness level was atrocious. I hoped that the 7 days rest before Lyon and then an 8 days rest before City would have done the trick and allow our players to regain energy, but obviously I was wrong. We were dead...

    And they'll have to click. That's the danger for next year's scudetto - new players not clicking - but it's something we must do because this current set will definitely lose the scudetto.

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    I'm not sure. A better team would have probably destroyed us. Imagine a well rested Bayern, with fast wingers, against this Juventus. Covid only made this season more frustrating. We would have won the scudetto without it, and maybe the Coppa, but in Europe we didn't stand a chance even in a...

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    This is a constant in my 13 years presence on Tuz as a member. Someone, somewhere, predicts a Juve line-up 3 to 5 days before matchday. Tuz doesn't like the predicted line up and goes crazy, cursing the manager. And it's hilarious because the predicted line up is never the actual line up, but...

    But they didn't replace him back in February. They kept him in the squad https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/024e-0e99622ab994-fd0186402497-1000--official-champions-league-squad-changes-confirmed/ Even if UEFA didn't allow to change players after covid, he'd have been in the team...

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    I am actually excited about this match. If we do eliminate Lyon, I agree with Sarri that everything is possible from there on. In order to win a league, you need to have the best team. I'd say that 90-95% in winning a league is about having the best team. Only if 2 or 3 teams of similar quality...

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    They kept him in the squad. All the remaining teams made some squad changes for the knockouts, but, apart from us excluding Demiral and replacing him with Chiellini, all the other changes were irrelevant. Lyon had enough space in the squad and they didn't have to replace Depay, so, luckily for...

    [CL] JUVENTUS vs Lyon [August 7th, 2020]

    After that Juve-Inter before the lockdown, this is the most important match of the season. I expect it to be tough because all the pressure is on us. But if we make it, no matter how bad we look right now, everything becomes possible. Extra times, tired legs and mistakes, penalties, Messi or...
