guys, against MAN U,what do you think of this: 3-1-3-3
---------------Buffon
-Thuram----Montero---Ferrara
---------------Davids
---Camo----Nedved---Zambro
-------Salas---Trez--Di Vaio
I'm thinking, it'll be a battle between the midfields because look at the quality of both teams:
Juve: Nedved, Davids, Camo, Zambrotta
Man U: Keane, Scholes, Giggs & Becks, Veron
Quite a great match-up aint it? Anyway, with a tight battle like this in the middle of the pitch, we really have to make the most out of our attacking opportunities. Sure, if DP was there up along with Trez there wouldn't be any problem. But since il capitano is absent, three strikers would quite fill the gap dont you guys think. We have to make the most out of every attack, and we have to make sure we convert them. We can't afford slip-ups against Man U. Because I'm pretty sure Man U won't be making slip-ups when they get chances to attack.
And for those of you who think having only 3 defenders would be risky and dangerous against Man U, i have a point to prove:
If we have this much quality in midfield from both teams, it would be more ideal to put the bulk or strength of our team in the midfield as well. And knowing that Man U has a deadly attack at form lately (let's face it), it would be risky to battle it with a four man defence. We may have a good defense to put up against them, but hell, they've got a good attack that we've got to stop as well. So my solution is that we keep attacking, to keep Man U at bay. Let them do all the defending. Let's pour it all out in attack. 'Cos lately, everytime i see Man U play, they're always attacking, and forcing their players to go up. So i'm assuming that they've been quite rusty in working-on in their defense. And quite frankly, I think three strikers would be too much for a defense like Man U. Taking into consideration that Ferdinand is out-of-form.
Anyway, it sure would be a super classico match.
Forza Juve!
