thats exactly what i said when we were wasting 25 mil on another forward,
instead of fixing our real issues first,
but our managers and some of our fans here, were convinced that Amauri's magic, would be enough to deliver miracles...
We clearlly lacked creativity from last season and no body did anything to fix that...And some people here say who needs creativity when you have affectivness !!

thanks

Good thing about him he can't be The New Zlatan because he is Turkish.
Didn't knew that. Actually I never heard about him before, but it seems like Sweden in general are producing good players at the moment. Danish clubs are always after swedish players so they must be doing something good in IKEA land :angel:

+1 absolutely agree. At least we needed a forward before the season though they bought Amauri as our saviour while we've had serious problems in creativity and defence last season. I can't understand this

Every1 was on a different frequency. Their movement and passes were off. No team work at all. The score is flattering, as they scored 2 goals in 1 minute inside 2nd half injury time. Camo had a goal wrongly disallowed and a tie would have been a more representative scoreline for this game. We had enough chances to tie, but our touches inside the box were terrible (Brazzo was the worst. Was all alone on goal and managed to bounce the ball off his face from his first touch).

I'm not to worried, because were clearly capable of better. Enough with the doomsday trigger happy responses.

Knezevic looked in pain, so it's not looking good. Losing 2 cb's in the pre-season sucks balls when u consider it's all about getting into fitness. Let's just hope the replacement is a good player and not another Stendardo.

Oh dear oh dear. I know it's pre-season but that was not nice to watch.

We desperately need another keeper. Chimenti is not good enough to be second choice.

This is way too funny. We win a friendly, everybody is happy, but still its just a friendly, we loose and blame Chimenti and, of course, Molinaro. Guys, it was a friendly. The line-up of today will never play like this again.
After Poulsen went out, we didn't play with a def mid! Brazzo played as a striker for a few minutes. That just shows, that this was a friendly. In friendlys you try diffenrent things. We played bad, sure, but we know the reasons why. So I really don't give a damn.....and you all should too

I understand that it's friendly, but now we are talking only about obvious problems which we noticed in this match not about result ;) I understand that the result is not important in this case

Friendly: Hamburg hit Juve channel 4


Sunday 3 August, 2008
Juventus saw two players stretchered off and a goal disallowed in their 3-0 Emirates Cup defeat to Hamburg in the Emirates Cup.
Claudio Ranieri changed the entire starting XI that had beaten Arsenal 1-0 yesterday, testing the new front pairing of Amauri and Alessandro Del Piero. Hamburg had lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in stoppages, but made relatively few adjustments.

The Germans dominated the first half and Antonio Chimenti seemed less than reliable, confirming Juve’s intention to buy another goalkeeper this summer. He struggled with Jarolim and Trochowski efforts before he hesitated, allowing Paulo Guerrero to sweep home Boateng’s ball over the top.

Zidan and Jarolim wasted more chances before the break and Ranieri made changes with Zdenek Grygera, Cristian Molinaro, Marco Marchionni and Giorgio Chiellini coming off the bench. Only one of those substitutions was forced, as Dario Knezevic was stretchered off.

Salihamidzic’s dismal first touch let him down when sent clear on goal by Alessandro Del Piero and moments later Hamburg threatened a second as Olic skimmed the woodwork. As in the Arsenal game, Juve stepped up the pace in the second half and finally tested Rost with a fierce Amauri header that was palmed away by the goalkeeper.

Vincenzo Iaquinta nearly scored with his first touch, as he sprung the offside trap and Rost came tearing out to block, Amauri’s follow-up cleared off the line. Iaquinta then set up a chance that Marchionni saw saved by Rost’s fingertips.

Camoranesi did hit the back of the net on 79 minutes, but it was incorrectly disallowed for an offside position, as the World Cup winner was level.

Chiellini managed the curious achievement of taking his own teammate out of the game, as his sliding tackle brought down both Molinaro and Zidan, forcing the Juve man off on a stretcher.

Chimenti made up for his earlier error by parrying Aogo’s strike, but could do little on Olic's stoppage-time counter-attack. Moments later Del Piero incredibly gave the ball away from the kick-off and allowed Olic a second, smashed under the bar.

Juventus 0-3 Hamburg
Scorers: Guerrero 19 (H), Olic 92, 93 (H)
Juventus: Chimenti; Zebina (Grygera 46), Legrottaglie, Knezevic (Chiellini 56), Salihamidzic; Camoranesi, Poulsen (Iaquinta 71), Ekdal (Marchionni 52), Rossi (Molinaro 46) (Tiago 87) Del Piero, Amauri
Hamburg: Rost; Boateng, Reinhardt, Benjamin, Atouba; Jarolim (Ben-Hatira 70), De Jong (Putsilo 46), Trochowski; Olic, Guerrero (Aogo 65), Zidan (Torun 87)

Still, it wasn't our starting line-up and we are still missing 3 very good and important players who are at the Olympics. Untill the start of Serie A, we have a lot of time. And Artmedia shouldn't be a problem.

Partially agree with you, but anyway I think we need one highly qualified creative midfielder and flank defender
