Federico Chiesa (23 Viewers)

Wait a minute. I see Chiesa lining up more of a frontline player for the national team. I thought this guy was more of a mid wing guy? So is Juve looking to the future with #10, Kulu and Chiesa being their top frontline? I know Kulu and Chiesa have supposedly great upside, but will it be serie a champion and CL title competitive enough?

We didn't win the CL even with a midfield of Vidal - Pirlo - Pogba. So my guess is no it won't be enough.

Chiesa is a frontline player if your team is shit like the Azzurri or Fiorentina.

Even in the UK in (authentic) Italian restaurants you see Napoli and Fiorentina merch and some anti-Juve stuff dotted about. You can normally have a bit of banter with them about it as a paying customer, they expect that, but some of these people have no life and it becomes some weird obsession.

Fiorentina are relevant to us for 180 minutes per year, that is it.

The owner of my favorite Ice cream shop happens to be Juve fan. And it's located just like 50 meters away from another Ice cream shop with a Milanista owner

Found out be accident. Walked in with some Juve shirt and he greeted me with a "Ahhh, meine Verein!"(My club!) @lgorTudor

Not even that bad of a miss, look where the ball comes off, definitely not his foot. Despite that miss he still graded out as the third best player for Italy. Seemed like he was the only one creating any sort of chances. Had at least two crosses that could’ve turned into goals. The worst player was easily Belotti. What’s he even doing on the national team.

Not the best match of him, few good actions and that ugly miss as posted before. Italy lacked sharpness, was the same for Chiesa today. Some players were worse then him like Florenzi, Jorginho, Emerson and Belotti.

Got substituted early, so fresh legs for Sunday hopefully unless he starts against The Netherlands.

If this was Berna, Tuz’ers would probably be out in full force with their pitchforks.

meh they hate you til they love you, they love you until they hate you. No one more fickle than a sports fan. For example, I hated Danilo, now I kinda love him. I don’t actively root against Juve players though. The worst fan is the one with an agenda. Berna has earned some of the disrespect, but it’ll be interesting to see what happens if he starts playing well again. Will people nitpick or will they get on board? I’m ready to get on board.

Maybe Danilo could be our next Barzagli

Barzagli was also a little slow to takeoff

I honestly don’t remember how Barzagli played before Juve. I just remember seeing him on the national teams bench with his long hair lol. Was he bad?

Not really, if you miss that shot when you get the ball coming to you straight or rolling, its a bad miss. But it was with a heavy bounce, came in wrong time with high speed and hit his shin. Fairly understandable miss even if you can do better.

Barza was superb for Wolfsburg before though.

Always a very solid player before signing with us.

Then he became a colossus and one of the best CBs in the world.

Hands down our best defender in the run of the first 4 Scudetti imo.

why was he so cheap then?

He was pretty meh at times

 

[Osman]

why was he so cheap then?

He had a flopped half season with Wolfsburg. Reckless highline defense didn't suit him, and was out of confidence. Coach was preferring Friedrich and Kjaer over him around that time, when he was a starter before this season.


Also two key things, his contract was expiring in 6 months so was cheap, and they wanted to do him a favour moving easily when he was missing Italy, and do Juve a semi favour because we gave them Diego for cheap price in previous transfer window.
