this juve > capellos juve. definitely in europe, if not in the league.
Strange that people admit it ONLY tonight which looks somewhat sentimental to my eyes.

Capello's team was one of the strongest we'd had in years yet I'd never seen such spirit and guts this Juve show in prestigious matches. I won't say it's Ranieri's effect though cos it's not. It all is the effect of Calciopoli. Old guard players are playing for their pride and honor, the rest -who in pre-Calciopoli days would have never imagined the day they'd play for Juve- are playing to prove themselves. Old guard players have passed their primes and the rest are not quality enough so the heart and the bravery they keep putting in big matches won't enough every time. Still THIS Juve is what I love the most. If I had the choice, I'd take this Juve over the pre-Calciopoli one without thinking twice.

i think when the whole team attack and fight for every ball its because of the coach and spacially when 21 years old player who dribble and run freely all around the pitch. capello had del piero and never believed in him

i agree. ranieri has had a role to play though, dont doubt it. i know its popular to hate on him in this forum, but whatever.

but ive said it before about this being better than capellos - i thought with the squad we had then we shouldve done much better, and we went out in 2 consecutive years in the same exact scenario. when it came to knockout competition capello didnt know what to do and just hoofed it up to zlatan. i will never forget how we went out with a whimper against arsenal and liverpool.

plus (i know this is getting off the subject), but i didnt like the character of our team then - vieira and emerson in the middle...zlatan up front (first season he was amazing, second he was woeful, far too arrogant and not juve attitude)

the future is bright

I didn't give an infraction to any of you, but for the last time i'm begging you (not ordering, not asking) to stop the off topic.
Deal?

Deal :)

Now talk about the match.

Some of you will probably laugh but this is the Juve I've always wanted to see, chasing the ball, putting their soul on the pitch, unlike the times when we were not running after the ball and I'm positive you all know about what I'm talking.
totally agree with you, if we can now keep this mentality up for the years to come, then success will follow.
