Vertonghen: ‘Juve lack style’
Football Italia

Tottenham’s Jan Vertonghen hits back at Juventus, saying the Old Lady do not play good football and haven’t won the Champions League ‘in a while.’

The defender was responding to Giorgio Chiellini’s comments that the North London club ‘are always missing something’ after Juve beat them 2-1 at Wembley on Wednesday to progress to the Champions League quarter finals.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, the Belgian international insisted that Spurs will always remain true to their attacking philosophy, adding that teams such as Barcelona have succeeded where the Bianconeri have failed.

“Maybe they [Juventus] haven’t won a Champions League in a while either,” Vertonghen is quoted as saying.

“Barcelona did it and so many others did it in the way that we want to play.

“You can speak about it in both ways. They have won so many Scudetti and have been in the Champions League.

“They are obviously a great team but not in the style that we want to play. And I believe that our style fits us better.

“We will always have our own identity and the way we play. We could have played five or six at the back but that is not how we are.”

Vertonghen remains adamant that his side, rather than Juve, should be in Friday’s quarter final draw.

“The way we want to play is that we want to show what we are here for and we believe it is the right way.

“To attack and dominate the game. We should have killed the game.”
So Spurs want to be Arsenal?

They need to get rid of this Napoli complex ASAP if they want to progress further as a club.

Didn't they play 5 defenders vs Real?

This gem from the fighting cock :)touched:) forum:
Sometimes you lose to teams and they earn your respect and you wish them well and sometimes you lose to clubs and they earn your contempt, Juve is latter. I hope you get thrashed in the next round rather than bore your way to another final only to get thrashed and outplayed again. Horrible team, horrible classless club. Old Lady? You're nothing but a dirty slag who takes it up the arse.

My abiding memory of playing you
is one your thugs trying to kneecap one of our players because he was too good for him.
