Materazzi: "Juventus are a failure if they don't win the Champions League."

Pisses me off that this fuck has a more complete trophy cabinet then Gigi

#getready ?

We really need to replace whoever is in charge of the #s. Every single one is a cringe.

You guys get too hung-up over this shit CL shit.

Even without the CL, Gigi is much more of a legend and icon of the sport than Materazzi is - whose claim to fame is being a butcher hack who was head-butted by Zidane.

Nerves building for this one, I think it would be a mistake to not play Dybala from the start
I'm hoping he can draw fouls and get them in card trouble early

I think Cancelo off the bench late might be a good option, or Sandro
Go with De Sciglio and a more attacking full back on the other side

Khedira has been in goal scoring form but I feel someone with a bit more pace might be better for that rcm spot

 

[pavluska]

Atletico give no space in the middle.

Allegri's tried-and-tested, targeting-the-FBs tactic of RW crossing to Mandzo at far post sounds good for this one.

Cancelo can beat anyone and send in a cross. Mandzo will be up against Arias (or old Juanfran?).

Berna? Please... Dybala deserves to play more than him

 

[Kopanja]

Bernat puts a lot more defensive work though
And his crossing is amazing

 

[The Quazis]

So Simeone plays four central midfielders at one time? How does it work? It's a classic example of our own "we have no width". Especially since their FBs are not able to be running through the flanks for 90 minutes or beat their man.

oblak > szczesny
juanfran < cancelo
gimenez < bonucci
godin = chiellini
filipe luis < alex sandro
koke > khedira
partey < pjanic
rodri > matuidi
saul > bernardeschi
morata < mandzukic
griezmann < ronaldo

i hope khedira, berna and matuidi will give 110%.

Simeone is a fool for not playing Lemar.

 

[sgjuveboy]

Sure did. The guy is not the best (not the worst by any means too). But since we have no one better, i'd say we have no choice. Or do you think it is somehow better to let play someone who is as bad in defense and on top of that, cant offer anything in attack?

TOtally agree with you. It is just dumb to think that DS is better defensively just because he does not offer much in attack.
Many times, wingbacks who are good at attacking (alex Sandro, cancelo, even Zambrotta) gets the unfair label that they are abit lacking in defense, just because their attacking capability is so emphasized.

MDS is better defensively than Cancelo. It's just a fact.

just checked atleti's knockout record with simeone.
- last year, they went out of the group (shit happens) and went on to win the el
- 16/17: semi-final exit against real
- 15/16: lost final against real, they eliminated barcelona and bayern in the knockouts
- 14/15: quarterfinal exit against real
- 13/14: beat milan, barcelona and chelsea in the knockouts, lost final against real

so during the last 5 uefa tournaments they played, only real was able to beat them in the knockout stage. impressive stuff.

- 14/15: assist for the winning goal (tie ended 1-0 in aggregate)
- 13/14: assist + penaldo in the extra time

You have to try really hard to be blind to think that Cancelo is better defensively.
