Ranieri : ‹‹Proud to be Juventus››

The presentation of the new stadium is an important moment for the future but also for the present of Juventus. For Ranieri and his men watching the projects of the club taking shape was an injection of suplementary motivation in view of the match against Inter. ‹‹I think that one of the great things about this club is the capability of making you fell a part of the project whatever it may be. You feel as though even the least sand grain you may bring is important. It is very positive to stimulate the sense of belonging and the presentation of the new stadium made us feel proud of being Juventus››.

The pride will be on the field at the San Siro, in a match different in importance for victory of the scudetto from last year, even if for Ranieri the approach is always the same: ‹‹The matches against Inter stimulate the players and the whole environment. Trying to find a difference with respect to last year is difficult. Supporters stop us and ask for the maximum. There are three points in question and we will do everything to obtain them››.

Juventus approach the match strong of seven consecutive victories: ‹‹When you play these matches you have to detach them from the championship contest, just like when we were going through the bad patch and we played against real, we didn’t bandage our heads before. We knew it could be the match to turn things round and so it was. We must confront this match in the same manner.››

Mourinho’s Inter is at the top of the table, however according to pundits the team must still get used to the new coach: ‹‹Just like it was important for me last year to get to know all the players, so it is for Mourinho now. Inter will surely grow with time. Even now in comparison to last year they have changed from certain aspects: Ibrahimovic was more static while now he moves along the whole attacking line. They changed with regards to playing without ball possession, with only Ibrahimovic ahead of the ball line, it changed with regards to attention and specific moves. Obviously they are still getting used to him, therefore it is only normal that there is less fluency with respect to last year. Mourinho has a Portuguese philosophy but he has taken a lot from Italian football. It is a compliment, just like Ferguson had complimented us when saying that he changed Manchester after watching Italian football›.›

Ranieri did not reveal the starting formation to be fielded against Inter: ‹‹I want to know how Tiago is, the sensations felt, how the trip went...An d then, Camoranesi could be part of the match, he has just recovered from an injury and I want to talk to him first. We must think of expressing our play, then it depends on the night. If it is the right one we will manage to play fluently, with the moves that the boys know by heart. The important thing is that they express themselves as they know best. An adjective to describe this Juve? We are charged and aware››.

his refusal to play Giovinco is really starting to get on my nerves now...what is he waiting for, the day Pavel's right leg falls off?
Giovinco doesn't fit into his game plans. It's either we sacrifice Giovinco for Ranieri's idiocy or we slit the throat of the infidel that is already here. Chop away on Ranieri and get him out.

I see someone is back after 7 matches of silence.
Andy, this is pathetic.

For a year and a half we've been beating teams much stronger than us because our coach outsmarted his opponents. This time we had a super strong team against us, with a great coach that unlike some other coaches before him, set the tactics perfectly.

They were like Spartans, for Christ sake. They were beating the shit out of Amauri and Nedved. You really think that Giovinco was the one who could have changed something tonight ? Del Piero was a piece of cake for Inter's defense and you expected Giovinco to come and save us?

It's not pathetic whatsoever, Alen. I don't like Ranieri whatsoever, he's a horrible manager, a fucking dotard at the helm, a footballing terrorist, and someone who should just stand down and get out. The whole team revolves around the performances of individuals and we don't even field the people who can make a difference. It's a shame we just waste away time instead of building on it, trying new things, making the changes that make sense, but we don't do that. I called for Ranieri to resign or get his ass fired long ago and I still do. I fucking hate this manager and the only thing that can change that is something very close to impossible. Hell, even if we do win I'll still dislike the guy because he makes Zero sense. ZERO. And as such, I hope he leaves immediately. Nobodys rhetoric can change that.

It's nearly impossible to be objective about Ranieri, especially so soon after a defeat, to Inter of all teams.

This thread is probably best closed for a few hours after each game. He'll be here at least till the end of the season. That said, I don't like his manangement/coaching, and look forward to the day he departs.

Yeah, might as well close it. I hate him so much that every single time I look at his face I get into a bad mood. He's without a doubt one of the people I dislike the most in the world. Perhaps Ranieri could change that if he just MADE SENSE, but nah, he can't do that.

He's fucking Mr. Bean without the happy ending.

As much as one disagrees with Andy, it's hard not to love him :lol:
Seriously, i disagree with your last posts, but your passion and the way you go crazy makes me laugh (in a positive way). You really love Juve.

I just have to +rep you.
