"Oh, and if someone still complain about long balls sometimes, we know that is EPL style and they are the best and strongest in europe so why not..
So what was this supposed to mean then? What the hell are you alluding to? I'm not putting any words into your mouth... THESE are your OWN words.
I'm tired of arguing with you because you either are not proficient enough in English to make sense or you're just pulling things out of nowhere to defend Ranieri. I'm sure it's a nice little conglomeration of both.

You were never on my "ignore list" so i always could see your posts. However I never replied to you as you said that you hate asians, and than i told you about my wife who is japanese..Also i know you were in some troubles with guy from Israel, so i don't see the point why i should talk to someone like you..
What i said that at the time england NT played in WC they had better team, but not good coach (Sven). Even I know many would prefer him instead of CR.
England was ranked 3rd in world i think at that time..That NT i was refering to..anyway..
As i lived in UK for 14 years i used to watch epl and still do prefer to see any of big 4 from epl or barcelona, than any italian team, except for Juve of course..
No one can tell me that Inter plays better or more interesting football than Arsenal, Man U.......
And that is what i was saying, and also i pointed out at current CL.
Also i agree that because of big business in Uk , and lots of foreign players they NT level now and in future, doesn't look very promising..
But here few people twisted and added few things to my comments..
At the end of the day, its just my opinion, and andy u can believe that earth is flat , i really don't care, i know what i think and what i like..
It is a cycle i agree, i've been saying this for my friends (epl fanatics 
). Last year an italian club won it, the year before it a spanish team won it so this year an english team will win it (and in between those clubs a german or french club might win too)....it goes like that.

San Siro Victory The Best Moment - Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri looked back on Juve's season, praising Alessandro Del Piero and singling out the win over Inter as the team's finest moment.
Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri took the opportunity of the press conference about their summer tour of Asia to talk about the team's season, which has seen them comfortably qualify for the Champions League preliminaries with three games to go.
"This team always managed to react after defeats," he said. "A team is formed by the combination of its knowledge and experience. This team has been through victories and defeats.
"The most difficult moment? Perhaps after the defeat against Fiorentina. The best moment was the victory at San Siro against Inter. The difference between a season with and without cups? It's a big difference, and we took advantage of that."
Ranieri doesn't think the team needs a lot of new purchases to win next season: "What do we need to change? We don't need to change, but to improve, inserting other players to support our five more experienced ones [Buffon, Del Piero, Camoranesi, Trezeguet, and Nedved]."
On captain Alessandro Del Piero, who's had perhaps his best season ever, he said: "He's the one that surprised me the most. Until december he wasn't at his best, because he'd had some problems during the summer training. Then he found a better rhythm, and never looked back until today."

We Must Be Insatiable - Ranieri
Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri has urged his team to remain focused in these last few games of a very positive season.
Juventus are about to finish off a season which can only be described as highly satisfying and above all expectations, especially considering they were coming from a season in Serie B. The Bianconeri comfortably qualified for the Champions League last week with a 5-2 win over Lazio, and have maintained a remarkable consistency throughout the season.
However, coach Claudio Ranieri wants to keep his team's concentration high ahead of the match against Siena this weekend, and wants his team to keep believing in the possibility of finishing second.
"We want to play three good matches. We are only interested in our own destiny, not Roma's," he said. "The third place has been reached, but we want to continue in our growth.
"If I were someone who's satisfied easily, I'd stop here. But I want to raise the bar as high as possible, so I can create an extra motivation for next season. We must be ferocious and insatiable. That should be our goal."
The Juve coach doesn't deny that his team were advantaged by the fact they were not involved in any European competition: "This year we've done well in Serie A because we were able to work well one week after another. Our next objective will be to see how we do when we have both competitions. The players know what they've done, but what lies ahead is always more important than what has already been done."

Ranieri wants more than Amauri
Tuesday 6 May, 2008
Claudio Ranieri has warned that Juventus need widespread reinforcement if they are to be a force at home and in Europe next term.
The Old Lady have enjoyed a miraculous season after returning from a period in the wilderness of Serie B.
Ranieri has guided the Old Lady back to the Champions League, but he believes it is a big step to make a challenge for European domination.
“We are in Europe’s biggest tournament, which is a prestigious achievement for a side that has just come from Serie B,” he said in La Stampa.
“Now, however, we can’t expect to see a Juve side perform like they last did in the Champions League because we are expecting a year of growth. Many of the lads don’t know what the climate is like at that level.
“Furthermore, this year we have made the most of the advantage of only having to play one game per week. Next year will be a new challenge at having double the workload.”
Palermo striking star Amauri is set to be Juve’s first signing of the summer, but Ranieri hopes he is the first of several big-name additions.
“Amauri is a great player and he could be an extra champion in the dressing room, but we aren’t a Scudetto chasing squad yet,” he admitted.
“I need two alternatives for every role and two or three emergency players. We have to improve in terms of strength and depth.”
Juve now can’t catch Roma for second place and know that they will have to come through the Champions League preliminary stages, which may pose some selection headaches.
“The Olympics will be played at the same time as the Champions League preliminaries,” Ranieri explained as he concluded his interview.
“I don’t know how many of our players Pierluigi Casiraghi will choose, but I need them.”

Ranieri: We Want To Be Competitive
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri has revealed that the aim next season is for the club to be competitive in both Serie A and the Champions League.
The Bianconeri have had a sound first year back in the top-flight following Calciopoli, and with two games remaining they are guaranteed to finish in third place in Serie A.
"We do not consider the league finished,” Ranieri told the Gazzetta dello Sport, despite the fact there is little left for the team to play for.
“We must finish the season the best we can. It would be fascinating if Del Piero and Trezeguet both finished as the league’s top-scorer.”
The Tinkerman then looked ahead to next season, and a return to the Champions League.
"I feel like an international coach, one for the Champions League,” he explained.
"We cannot hide. When I came to Juve, everyone wanted the maximum out of this team, they wanted the Scudetto, forgetting that we had spent one year in Serie B in reconstruction.
“If our fans last year asked for the Scudetto, they will now do the same for the Champions League.
“We are Juve, it is our duty to try, but it will not be easy. To be competitive in league and Cup until the end of the season would be a nice goal.”
Tomorrow afternoon Juve welcome Catania to Turin for their final home match of the season.

Ranieri motivates Juve
Saturday 10 May, 2008
Claudio Ranieri is sure Juventus will salute their fans with a sparkling performance before mounting next season’s Champions League challenge.
“The team needs to have motivation, plus it is our last home game,” commented the Coach who has already secured third place ahead of the meeting with relegation strugglers Catania.
“The lads want to salute the fans in the right way and also do well to ensure the regularity of the Serie A season.”
The former Chelsea boss is aware that last week’s sluggish 1-0 defeat to Siena highlighted a squad with nothing left to play for and wants to reverse that trend.
“We are Mediterranean and in England this sort of thing doesn’t happen because the work of a Coach counts for little. Their players don’t need to be motivated.
“It would be wonderful if in Italy we could always give 100 per cent. There’s no reason not to – we still have two players in the running for the Capocannoniere crown and I won’t rest Gigi Buffon because I want the best from everybody. I cannot do more.”
There had been reports Buffon would be rested once a Champions League spot was assured, so that his back problem can recover fully ahead of Euro 2008, but that does not seem to be the case.
Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet continue their duel to beat Genoa’s Marco Borriello at the top of the scorers’ charts.
Cristiano Zanetti is out of action due to a bruised foot, while Cristian Molinaro sits out a ban, so Tiago Mendes is likely to step in.
Ranieri is already looking towards next season and what is expected of Juventus two years on from Calciopoli.
“Certainly there will be some who ask for the moon and the stars. Although we cannot give them that immediately, we do want to improve.
“We had a great campaign, but took advantage of the fact we were not taking part in any European competition. We were able to train seven days a week and know each other better.
“Next year we will try to go through the Champions League preliminary round and go as far as possible. It is there that we will evaluate the strength of our players.”
