Fanatic local fans, yes. But a lot of Juventus fans aren't local. And by that I mean a lot of our Italian fans too. The fans we have in Southern Italy won't care too much about Toro. They want us to beat Napoli.
It's something every big club deals with. We have different kinds of supporters with different ideas and backgrounds. Imo it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for someone from Taiwan or the USA to ferociously chant anti-Toro songs. To have any sort of feel for a local derby, you simply have to be from that city.
One of the only counterexamples I can think of is Roma-Lazio, but that's only because both clubs have built codependent identities and aren't truly global players the way we are.

Seven's post made no sense.
"Why are they chanting Toro songs?"

You're right, I wasn't. It's pretty obvious why they were chanting and it would be awful if they didn't.
Supporting Juve and not knowing about the derby della mole lmao

I'm confident that we'll knock out Barca if the ref doesn't screw up much. Their midfield is pretty crap now and their defense is thin. Only the three stooges upfront are deadly and will definitely score against us, so we have to score a couple in both games.
The recent fix to Barca's poverty play has been moving to a 3-4-3. This way they hide the fact that they don't have a RB and that their midfielders are not as good as used to by packing the mid. The good thing is that if they do this against us they will be weak in the wings. Their right side will consist of Roberto or Denis Suarez most likely with little support (neither Messi nor Suarez are offering any cover). On the left side Neymar will be a huge issue, but on defense they are weak again, either Rafinha or Iniesta should play LM. We can wreck them with Sandro and Cuadrado.
If they go back to their 4-3-3 then we will dominate and they will counter. It would be a tense game with Neymar and Messi running into space if we get too confident.
