[CL] Real Madrid - Juventus (3 Viewers)

IMO Zlatan played too wide. When he plays with DP he needs to act as more of a target man and use his physical qualities to our advantage. We need to commit more players forward because it was clear to see that the front two were very much isolated and suffered as a result of this. Both DP and Zlatan did pretty well in the first 20 minutes when we actually tried to take the game to Real but had no assistance whatsoever after that. I still think that Lubos Michel missed a clear free kick when Del Piero backheeled the ball to Emerson and Helguera took him out of it. That would've been a clear scoring chance. In the second leg we should play the trident attack because DP and Zlatan can't play together unless there's a point striker a la Trezeguet in the team. They both had fine games against Udinese because they were allowed to roam where they wanted and I think they should be allowed to do so against Real in Turin without consequences. We really need to make some midfield signings this summer.
If we have Trezegol then I have the answer.
He plays in attack.
-Cross comes from: Neddy, Camo, Zambo, DP and Zibina
-Shoots comes from: Neddy, Emerson, Tachinardi and Trezegol
-Passes comes from: Neddy, DP, Emerson, Zambo and Camo
-We can defend set pieces but Cannavaro made mistake by letting Helguera free (by the way, Cannavaro played very well).

Real Madrid coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo praised his players after the 1-0 win over Juventus at the Bernabeu.
"I was delighted with the attitude of my players," he said. "In games like this you can’t just play at 99 percent, you have to play at 100 percent and that’s what we did tonight."
He continued: "For me Real played a great game and 1-0 was a good result for us. But I felt we had enough chances to have scored two or three.
"I expected Juve to play on the break like they did and to try and use long balls up front to their forwards. But we were ready for that and always had five players covering back to deal with their counter-attacks."
