If we do not attack, we will not score. We cannot sit back because Real will control the match and have the ball up our asses for the whole match, just like today. What happened today? We lost 1-0 because we sat back against Real and let them control the match. How can you think that if we use this same mentality we will progress? That is just idiotic. We must attack Real and force them to defend like we did in 2003. DO NOT SIT BACK.
2003
Buffon: he never was a better goalkeeper than that year
Montero: was still up there with the world elite
Zambrotta: his best season ever
Ferrara: the last season he had an impact
Thuram: wasn't our best player, but always did his job
Davids: ran like hell, and was IMO perhaps our most important player
Camoranesi: just joined Juventus and had a great first season
Tacchinardi: did his job
Nedved: I don't need to explain
Del Piero: his last great season, and he played the game of his life
Trezeguet: scored what he had to score
2005
Buffon: is looking shaky this season
Cannavaro: he's alright, but he sure is slow
Zebina: has had great matches, but is inconsistent
Zambrotta: seems to have run out of fuel
Thuram: he's been great so far
Blasi: fouls a lot, but is important for this team
Emerson: slow, slow, slow, but fights
Camoranesi: should be made more important for us, our best player
Nedved: well.. not in the greatest of shapes
Del Piero: for the love of god, at least TRY
Zlatan: DON'T TRY. Play ****ing simple
See my point?
