[CL] Champions League 2012/13 (51 Viewers)

Ramires was playing further up towards the end of last season wasn't he?

Yes, last season we didn't have any real wingers bar Malouda (who's crap) and Mata (who plays better on the center).

Ramires isn't a winger, he's just fast.

We'll beat the hell out of chelsea . I really hope that they don't play an old style catenaccio , althrough without drogba even if they do play with a catenaccio i don't think they will be really dangerous

 

[La_Fidanzata]

Player for player Juve is stronger than Chelsea, but in CL experience is the most valuable factor me think. I give Chelsea a 3/2 as it stands now.

Ramires is the best advanced carillero in the world and was very crucial to Chelsea last season CL success..

I honestly don't believe in the "CL experience" factor in the group stages. Though, It could be valuable in the knockout stages, it was obvious with Napoli last year.

 

[pitbull]

I'm pretty sure there is such factor, Borussia and City last season are pretty good examples for that.

 

[K.O.]

You could argue that Napoli was the least experienced squad overall in their group last year (Both coach and players), yet, they weren't affected by CL pressure until the knockout stages' return game.

what the heck is a carillero?

their fast counter-attacking style just really suits well the cup competitions and someone had to make it out of the "inexperienced death group" I don't think they went out because of the pressure, Chelsea just played them off the park and had a really good game.
anyways, City and Borussia were the best teams last season in England and Germany, yet they stayed in group while Chelsea and Bayern where in the CL final, just thought that it's a pretty good example.

 

[ZoSo]

We should definitely do better than Napoli last year in both competitions. Their biggest weakness (depth) was far worse than our biggest weakness is right now (attack).

 

[Bianconero81]

Experience definitely plays a part, but I'm sure the likes of Buffon, Chiellini, Pirlo, and even Vucinic can transmit confidence and calm the nerves of the other players.

One more reason we should have taken Immobile, CL experiance

 

[Bianconero81]

Immobile is an exception; when you have shit for strikers, with the exception of Vuci and Gio, you take a risk on youth

what the heck is a carillero?

There are three schools of thought. Some say carillero is a man who cares about the illero, while others say it's a grown individual who carries the llero.
In the Marcelo and Badass football dictionary (supporting the third theory) carillero is "one of the two widest players in a diamond midfield, inbetween a holding midfielder and an attacking playmaker".

 

[JuveJay]

what the heck is a carillero?

Think it's a wide midfielder, as opposed to a winger.
