Pre assist :lol:

The term that became relevant to make players like marchisio and giovinco look good.

Mostly marchisio.

We need Vidal and Vidal needs us, straight swap with marchisio would be the best thing ever!

Lol, I was half joking. But anyway, it's an important thing still. Pirlo was the boss of pre-assists, more so than actual assists.

But yeah, Marchisio's class created that goal.

And he's always looking for that yellow/red.

Sanpaoli quotes emerging from the time when he was chiles nt coach.

From the lot i saw, the vidal part is the most worrying.

He says that one day when returning from a game, vidal approached him and asked san paoli if he could open a bottle of liquour for the trip. Sanpaoli said an emphatic no to him. Then vidal proceeded to talk to the driver to let him let the bottles in anyways, without san paoli knowing. The driver aceepted and let vidal and friends hace fun.

When san paoli discovered what happened, he had to fire the driver of the bus, even knowing that the mastermind behind the situation was vidal.

He ends by saying that vidal is a case that “needs to be treated by a specialist”.

It seems vidals antics outside the fields are more worrying than we think. No one can perform at top level with this behaviour, not even as talented as him

It's obvious there was some underlying problem with Vidal which is why we sold him. Our policy seems to be that it's better to sell a year too early than a year too late. We don't really publicize the problems or create drama. The player just disappears.

It's probably a surprise to our management that Vidal has maintained a solid form after we sold him, knowing what kind of off field issues he has. It's true he was a warrior in our shirt but I'm guessing there were huge flags internally that indicated he would decline rather quickly.

Thats very true.

I imagine that to protect the integrity of the player, none of what happened inside walls at juve, was publicised. They were some delicate issues that could harm the sporting and personal life of the player.. but at the same time we were not obliged to cope with it so we parted ways-

Coming back too early from injury to play for us, and he basically halved his recovery time to play for Chile at that world cup. A lot of wear and tear on that joint, he just doesn't quite get around like he used to. Plus the wandering eye, and the ridiculous drunk Ferrari crash.

IMO, there was a time he was the best B2B midfielder in the world. The way he could press and recover his position made it feel like we had an extra man in midfield during a lot of matches. Really nice offensive contributions at key times, too; technique was underrated by a lot of people who didn't watch Juve. He was awesome.

But yeah, iirc he lost Iniesta tracking back on that 4th minute CL final goal, and I was almost positive he was getting a second yellow in that first half. Didn't he lightly push somebody in the head or something while on a yellow? He was just way too amped up that match, couldn't control his emotions at all.

I'm always going to be fond of his time at Juventus though. A monster on his day.
