That's the first time I hear about 'the dark art'

Its a term that originated from the Gentile and Benetti days Here: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/jun/04/serieafootball.internazionale

Romeo Benetti. Watched YouTube videos of that dude. Lol what a beast! Guy was built like a tank, played like a psycho, but still had nice technique and had a great shot on him.

Very common stereotype said by English commentators of Italian/Uruguayan defenders

My uncle (reason I'm Juve fan instead of Milanista like my father) who studied in Italy those days, couldnt stop raving about him when bringing up the 70s-80s Juve/azzurri dynasties he grew up with. I allways ask of the obvious legends, and he fondly remembers how Benetti and Gentile battered opponents to submission with insanely sly and calculated ways lol (besides hyping up unsong heroes Causio/Cabrini).


Said Vidal type of player, who would just tackle like a possessed wilderbeast, then go forward and score:

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Love those types of players

Yeah I love speaking to my old man and uncles about Italian football in the 60s and 70s, some great stories about some brilliant players. Jealous they got to live through those times.

 

[Salvo]

same here. Glory days. I love that he and I got to enjoy Alex, pavel and Gigi though.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

That's true

 

[Salvo]

That's true

Was your old man born there?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Was your old man born there?

Yeah he was. Yours as well?

 

[Salvo]

Yeah he was. Yours as well?

Yep. Came here when he was 23.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yep. Came here when he was 23.

Oooooft...he'd be old school wog then

 

[Salvo]

Oooooft...he'd be old school wog then

Absolutely haha.

I watched both United games, and they've been extremely uninspiring in attack. Though truth be told, it does look like their defending has improved significantly from last season.

Btw, I've always thought Blind was an extremely underrated player. I really appreciate players like him, very intelligent and composed; that's why he's capable of playing adequately in multiple positions.

I havn't seen any of the 2 games but in lineups, mata played as right wing and Depay as Cam? why not switch their positions, or did they do that a lot during the match?

They didnt and i agree. Mata is best suited playing centrally.
