He is just playing mind games and poorly... I dont think any sane person will compare Juve to Gent!
I admit - many overrate Juve this year as we are not nearly as good as many think!
Yes Dybala is doing well but he is still not Tevez! the truth is last year Juve were much better than this year!
I do think Breitner is right when he says it depends on Bayern as they are clearly the better team!
Its like saying Juve vs anyone in serie a depends on Juve as we are definitely the best side even if the margin was way bigger last year...
There is a 30% chance of going through this tie!
As for the PSG remarks - We are better than PSG.. I see PSG as just another City and we all know what we did to City...
Anyway Hope the 30% strikes tonight!

Then hope he scores so we can get a striker who can score all year long and not just 2 or 3 games...

After my last reply I'm sure you understood what I meant:
'Saying he was WC playing as a CB is something different from "he's a WC CB."'
And unlike CB or FB, he played AM consistently for multiple seasons.
He isn't an excellent passer of the highest standard, but he isn't bad either. His passing is quite decent. An in-form, peak Vidal is a very complete player. His passing isn't his greatest attribute, but it's one of the many things that makes him complete. I had pointed out the only times he struggled with his passing game: the 1st half of his 1st season with us, and so far (or at least in the 1st half of this season) he hasn't been in synch with the other Bayern players with the ball.
This is the far from a matter of opinions. Saying Vidal isn't good positionally is plain and simply factually incorrect. Being good positionally + having high tactical acumen is one of the reasons why he's able to play multiple positions with ease and be a force to be reckoned with on either half of the pitch (when at his best).
Having a good positional sense and being good at pressing and scoring aren't mutual but are exclusive characteristics.
I've absolutely no idea of what you're talking about here, but I can tell that you don't either.

Breitner: ‘Juventus have no chance’ 
By Football Italia staff
Bayern Munich legend Paul Breitner says Juventus “have no chance” if his old side play to their “normal level”.
The Bianconeri face the German giants in the first leg of their Champions League Last 16 tie in Turin tonight, and five-time Bundesliga winner says the Bavarians are on a different level.
“I don’t see any danger, the reality is that Bayern are one of the top clubs in Europe,” Breitner told Goal.
“In recent years they’ve dominated along with Barcelona and Real Madrid. For the Bavarians the Bundesliga is like homework, the Champions League is the exams.
“We have to show our class over the two games, but if we do that we won’t have to worry about anything. If I’m strong then I don’t have to worry about my opponent.
“If we play at our normal level, Juventus will have no chance. The same would be true of PSG [Paris Saint-Germain], it’s only against Barcelona or Real Madrid you need to really perform at the maximum.
“Among the teams we could have faced I think PSG were the strongest, there isn’t a difference between Juve and the others.
WTF???
“Are they stronger than teams like Gent? Whoever says that doesn’t see what’s happening in Belgian football. They’ve produced great players in the last few years. Remember my words when Wolfsburg get knocked out.
“We can compare what’s happening in Belgium to what happened in Germany in 2010. There’s a process of change, the players are improving and so they’re starting to have success.
“Juventus’ defence? I’m not worried. We’ve seen in every game so far that every team has defended against us with nine-men behind the ball hoping to get a 0-0.
“I played Italian opposition in the 70s, they way they played then is the way they play now. The Italians are born to play nil-nil, to defend.
“I don’t see that changing in the near future.”

I seriously have never seen a player or ex-player throwing so much $#@! at Juve, not even when Calciopoli hit Juve. Breitner is either trolling or an idiot. No other way.
