Do you know what is the biggest answer to those inbreds who insult us?

They are so bad, even Matri and Quagliarella looked like professional football players against them.

and those who call Juventus cheats

Selcuk Dereli, a former referee recently admitted that before the Artmedia - Celtic game, he got an offer from some unknown guy. Guy said ''he will be rewarded if Artmedia win with big margin''. He has refused and immediately informed the UEFA. Guess what happened? Artmedia won 5 - 0. Yes, your proud bhoys sold the game.

Question for the tacticians on the forum.

If we were happy to hang back in both legs against a weak side like Celtic, what do you think our tactics be against the very strong sides of the competition?

it was not 'hanging back' for the sake of being defensive.

Celtic were too eager to play gung-ho and in your face British football, we simply took our time.

People were worried.

Hard to say.

Will depend on the opposition and the situation.

Juve were ahead from the third minute of that 180 minute tie, so there was never any need for them to open things up or commit men high up the pitch either to attack or to press the opposition.

I think the away game against Shakhtar is probably the game so far that would give the best indication of how Juve would look take on a good team when they are actively trying to score.

And we faced the CL champs at their home and took the game to them for most of the game (not to mention what we did to them at our turf). Our two safe/cautious games vs Celtic were more out of convenience (early goal, not threatened by them etc)and conserving energy then actively hanging back as a main tactic out of fear/too much respect. In fact I how confident and casual we were against them in two games was kinda arrogant hehe.

Didn't include the Chelsea games because I consider their central midfield so weak that Juve were always going to be able to have a lot of possession and control over those games.

 

[Osman]

Yeah thats true, but until Man U's balanced/tactical improvement in central mid this season, I would said that goes for all top EPL clubs, they all have weak midfields IMO.

Mulgrew: Juve won fair and square

Charlie Mulgrew has admitted that Celtic were beaten by the better side after being knocked out of the Champions League by Juventus.

The Scottish champions lost 2-0 to the Bianconeri on Tuesday evening, going down 5-0 on aggregate in the last 16 clash.

And the 27-year-old has conceded that Antonio Conte's team were deserved winners.

“Juventus are a great team,” he told uefa.com. “They have a great attack and a very solid defence.

“There is no doubting their quality. I wish them all the best for the rest of the competition.

“Juventus won fair and square, but we are disappointed with the result.

“Our mistakes were punished. You have to give them credit.”

Yup.

It's the main reason that they are all poor teams, despite having lots of very good players.

Well, except Arsenal. They're just generally poor.

 

[Osman]

True funnily enough I like Arsenals creative central midfielders the most (besides Yaya ofcourse, City's one is most wasteful btw, best material to succeed, but just bunch of selfish players that dont play as a team), only if they werent coached by a senile halfwit who cant accompany the likes of Cazorla/Wilshere/Arteta with some real aggression and tactical steel. Just tells them to go out there so they can get creamed by any semi aggressive and organised midfield.

Thats a very odd question you pose there, and from tactical point of view, not very smart, sorry.


There is no such thing as "a tactic against the strong opponent".

You look at where you excell, and where the opponent excells. Juventus has allways been about tactically neutralising the opposing treath, and trying to play our game in a way that hurts them when we got in possession.

Against barcelona, this would obviously mean we'd go 3-5-2,play it compact and deep, focus primarely on ruling out trough passes, have marchisio breaking up the passing, vidal pressuring, have the ss helping vidal, have matri keeping the defence buzy. generally force them into the physical duel, and when we have possession, make one of the wingbacks race up the field, with 1 cm and the two strikers supporting. the rest should keep tactical position.

Against real we would play more our pressing game, and try to break their defensively week midfield, giving them troubles reaching their forwards. wingbacks pressing to but without risk, cause di maria and ronaldo are lethal.

etc. each opponent has a playstyle we must attempt to counter. If they are better at their game then we are, then we should not "play our game" but focus to disrupt theirs in general.


For this reason its best we try to avoid a bayern munchen. they are very complete, and can handle our physical game. It would require a specialist team like Madrid, or a wildcard like psg or milan (who got a worldclass striker capable of deciding it suddenly, while the team's defence has a chance of holding it)

I hope bayern get dortmund. that will be mad fun

I was reading Celtic forums and you could swear they thought they were Barcelona, Some of them were saying we will get destroyed by Dortmund or Real Madrid because Celtic had so much possession, What the fools dont realise is Juve let them have the ball because they were no threat to us, and it was also a weakened team with 5 1st team players missing.

I think if we were to play Real Madrid for example we would be fairly Defensive away from home but when we take on any team at home i would expect us to show our real quality in terms of attacking play.

True. Chelsea is no suitable benchmark this season in general.

We only played to the level we had to, it's something most Italian teams do. Do you see Usain Bolt going for a world record time in his qualifying heat?

Celtic were just so bad and naïve in their play that we ended up massacring them. The second leg performance was dictated by the scoreline in the first, we could conserve energy for other games.
