I don't know why you didn't translate the "trés High level" completely, but it made the post so much better 
Oh, and Higuain could easily fail to score, but Glik will certainly not be the reason for that

Like other guys are saying when Higuain see glik he will easily imagine we are playing some seriaA minnow.
Hm...interesting question. Back in the older days, there were a number of posters with extremely insightful knowledge about our team and the game. I like gray, Andy, Burke, Ian, Gep, Greg, Sergio, Seven 
Nah
This ain't right. I know for a fact this is a wind up. Cos no one likes me here. That I can guarantee.
Reveal who you really are.
Their setup isn't a great match for us player wise. We'd prefer to attack on the right but there they usually have Lemar, Bakayoko and Mbappe for counters.
On the left it's a little softer with Silva, Moutinho and if the ball falls for Falcao to break, he has no pace. Also Sidibe had a horrible match against Man City, I guess that's why Toure is there now at RB.
It's possible though that if Dybala finds himself drifting to the right to combine with Cuadrado, that Lemar will be pinned back and it could isolate Mbappe. For sure, Jardim's number one objective will be to stop Dybala from receiving any ball in between the lines but because they play with 2 strikers that means their flank midfielders will have to be switched on to play more narrow in case one of the CMs leaves a space (they don't have the luxury of 3 CMs kind of like us).
So I'm not sure which solution would be better offensively.
As far as how to defend, I think we have a slight advantage because they have faced perhaps the two best sides to counter in succession with Man City and Dortmund. And both teams have been chasing the tie as well. I haven't watched a lot of them in France so I don't know if our "dark arts" style will stun them initially.
For instance, I can't say I saw a lot of professional fouls from City or Dortmund in those matches. Meanwhile, Dani Alves alone had about 8 against Barca where he just chases the attacker back into his own 3rd and gives a slight foul.
I don't know how effective they are in possession in Europe, I would have to re-watch games from before the knockout stages to get a good sense. I know for sure though that they deserve proper respect. The calm that Mbappe has in front of goal is somewhat terrifying.

Yeah, pretty much everything I predicted about Tiago and Nocerino turned out to be disastrous. But one had to find some optimism in those dark days.....

Hi Sergio, I remembered reading your pledge of allegiance and unwaivering love as a Juve life-long fan many years ago when our team was demoted to Serie B. Good memories and I admire your passion to the club.
