in other words he's saying that being defensive + grinta isn't working for CL, that we have to trade blows or trade attacks or trade scores... which mean we have to strife on being pro active rather than reactive... well finally I get it myself with the word, the key is being pro active rather than reactive... as I've said on the tactic thread, our downside in europe which I've seen on all these years with juve being with different players and coaches were due to exactly that, we as a team are more instinctively reactive than pro active, that is why on certain european matches we tend to fall back and pinned down like amateurs... and that caused us to suffer more than we should not, this is also what I think the fundamental difference between us and other giants, others are instinctively more pro active with their flair and fancy, while we are reactive with defending and grinta... so at certain point, basically we surrendered against them due to this thing... hmmm can it be classified as mentality? but yes that is exactly the problem... we are instinctively reactive, while to win on europe/CL teams are required to be more on the pro active side... exactly what is supported by history data, european winners are dominated by teams that are instinctively pro active than reactive.
yeh.
We saw how our approach ca affect games. Look at both legs vs bayern. in the first one, we were severely passive...while in the 2nd game we went out there for the kill and it paid.
We need to add some players to make our attack scarier and try to play our game, but above all, try to play to score instead of the waiting game of defensive tactics. Thats what the top tiers do. They dont play thinking what the other can do.. but are more positively minded and focused on the kind of damage they can do.
They have the players and the past experiences to know what their team is capable to do.. so they focus on trying to emulate those situations to see if they will happen again, which they eventually do.

I will always remember Barzagli's run on that counter. Also, how good is he, that he managed to make giovinco score

That 3-1 victory against the best ever barcelona at home, is one of the greatest games i've ever seen from another team
As haengeboffer states : they outplayed barcelona at home.
In Camp Nou ,they went down to 10 following a disgusting red card, and managed to keep it to 1-0
I've never seen a team able to resist barcelona in their prime that good. Mind you, that was Messi's 73 goal season. They were absolutely bashing the shit out of everyone.
