I didnt bash Del Piero- Infact I admitted an improved performance (which is true) I still cant believe some people think Capello has a general dislike to Capello though.

Since we are on the subject, I thought that Freud segment was a bit badly written. I see what you mean but it didn't come out very clear. :p

Since you asked.. :D

Great article!!!

this part is great...


2) Capello plays defensive football

.. And people who say that are just plain wrong. Infact, Juventus have been the side this season in serie A which has scored the most goals- even more then so called attacking Inter- and yet at the same time, conceded the least- which highly resembles ’offensive Roma’ last season, which they did exactly that, but people claim that they were an offensive team. So explain to me: Why are Inter offensive? Is it because they have a poor backline and games with them tend to have higher score lines?

The Juventus Defence record is probably the factor unto which people decide Juventus are a defensive team- but how can one call a club who scores more then anyone else in the league defensive? If anything, they are the most Defensive and Offensive- making them a balanced team.

3) It was Capello’s fault we were knocked out to Liverpool

...

Capello’s tactic was out there, but it was obvious the 4-4-2 was not working and a 4-4-3 would not do much better.
Pulling the goalie with 20 minutes left of the first leg of a CL brace to put in another striker? Now that would dispel any myths about him being too defensive-minded. ;)

Well, I am actually an incredibly mature person, I also have the ability to shut off my brain when nessercary though ;). I don't actually know why I did that- I guess for a few cheap laughs at the expense of Azzuri7 :D

you had a 5-3-3 if I recall correctly ;)
to be correct it was a 3-2-3-3...... whatever. So did you head explode?

I hope you realise the pressure that is on you right now. We wont accept any rubbish talk coming from you. Be warned :D
