[CL] Juventus 2-1 Real Madrid (May 5th, 2015) (9 Viewers)

Not convinced.

Think it'll still be a case of Juve sitting back a lot and picking moments to apply pressure.

It'll just be that Juve'll be more effective at pressing on the occasions they decide to commit to it.

Remember when Allegris shitty milan sat deep and continiously put pressure on certain players, but rotated who pressed and barcelona couldnt mount a single attack ?

This looks like a wrong match to try out new tactics, that's what Serie A is for.

If this is Allegri's choice then for the first time I'm actually scared to see such tactical change.

4-4-2 looks so wrong.

what does Max have up his sleeve...i wonder..

 

[Mister]

This was the line up tested in the final training session today

Buffon Lichtsteiner Bonucci Chiellini Evra Marchisio Pirlo Vidal Sturaro Morata Tevez.

 

[CAPITANO]

sounds silly to improvise now. IMO

it can change in game back to 4312, buts its only speculation atm

We should've instead played Tevez at AM and Llorente upfront, with vidal in midfield. Think we're gonna struggle to get any sort of offence going with Sturaro around.

Starting LOLrente would be worse.

If it ends up being 4-4-2, it'll need to be a compact one that avoids getting dragged too wide.

Pirlo can be exposed in three- or four-man midfields, nevermind when he is in a central-midfield two.

If you play a relatively flat four, you are also likely to have to drop the whole midfield deeper in order to prevent spaces opening between midfield and defence.

You then need at least one forward to drop back to stop the team getting too stretched out and the strikers too isolated.

If Max has the balls to do something like that - this gives me confidence in him.

I fully trust him even keeping in mind that everything can happen. We get rekt or they get rekt. That's the truth.

It's not exactly a huge change.

It likely just involves the trequartista playing ten yards deeper, particularly without the ball.

May well still be more 4-3-1-2 when in possession.

Basically, its asking the trequartista to work harder than he normally would defensively. Defend (then attack) in numbers.

Peyrerya and pogba out
Sturaro and pirlo starting

Peryerya out really puts a dent in my confidence for this one. He's been pretty great in cl, and he offers pace and physicality a lot of our mids are missing. Pogba out just amplifies this. Man I think this is a bigger blow than some might think.

 

[jukazem]

4312 was always a variation of 442 to me, the difference being the characteristics of the players on the wings. Our RCM and LCM are always defending alongside our fullbacks... the difference in a 352 is that the midfield middle is weak while with Pereyra or Vidal is 4312 there is more cover in the middle. Allegri never played a attacking trequartista (potentially Tevez or Giovinco) behind the strikers.

 

[Red]

Defend (then attack) in numbers.

Don't expect Juve to go committing very many men forward.

Real are so dangerous on the break and 0-0 wouldn't be a bad result, so I don't envisage Juve being prepared to take many risks in order to try and score.

These depth signings by Marotta get so little credit.

It's gonna be a huge difference IMO simply because Pereyra and Sturaro are way different player. I don't expect anything from Sturaru bar defensive output. I actually wish we had Pereyra for this one, we need his aggressive runs and a possibility for counters.

Stuaro wasn't even starting for Genoa now he's here starting in a semi final against the current CL winners, crazy journey for him.

wait what? has this been confirmed?
