Alex Sandro had a good game against Milan, except for one mistake in the opening minutes. Hope he repeats that performance today.
Prefer Spin currently, but AS will be better in the air vs Ziyech. According to article above, when short passing from the back fails, long ball to Ziyech is their escape route.

It's embarrassing
What is it even referring to?

Also I have not seen enough of Spinazzola to tell if he's a better defender than AS.

You can argue it was unethical (for me, it was) but not illegal. Also, there were talks of other clubs doing the same but they only investigated Juve.

Re physical atts, our CL win vs Ajax had more to do with "The Marine," our fitness coach under Lippi.

Conte and Zidane use the same fitness regime, the reason their teams are that fit.
"The marine" is certainly a more confidence inspiring nickname then the one our players have for Simone "herr gasmeister" folleti :ziz:

You mean on current form or permanently?

Who's the better defender or better player overall in the long run will take a lot longer to determine, but currently, overall, Spin is defo doing better. Don't care if AS is slightly the better defender or not. But against Ziyech (if that's one of Ajax's go to tactics) and if Spin isn't 100%, AS is fine.

No. They didn't use any banned substances. Sorry but quit talking out of your... esp as a Juventino.

No rules/laws were broken. They "just" took advantage of what was allowed. They used a lot of it.

Nah, my opinion is that PED use is far more rampant than testing shows, especially in the professional money sports where there is so much more to gain, and so little testing has been done in the past. Both the big Spanish clubs were heavily linked to operacion puerto which was then quashed.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if every big club has doped at times in the past. Of course this is just conjecture on my part, based on what I’ve been told by family members involved in coaching and sport performance for Olympic sports.

But as I said, I agree with you entirely that there was no evidence at all of wrongdoing and PED use. So it’s an absurd accusation by Ajax.

I wonder if we approach this in the same manner as against atletico where we did not study or prepare specifically for the opposition before the first leg.

Maxx is so cocky and reckless but he backs it up.
