best advice you can give to a player of his quality, make simple easy passes, don't venture too far out of position and if in doubt put it out.
Exactly, when Camor came to him from right side just to tell that , he was trying to make some excuse and explane why he did lose the ball in a dang. situation. it really pissed Camor off. i mean i feel sorry for Molinaro, hes trying, but sometimes its just not enough.

well, no one should start dreaming now, but dortmung is one of the most underrated teams around. Their position in the league does not correspond to their abilities. I actually follow the bundesliga a bit, and i must say that for the next few years, i expect dortmund to make a huge step towards top 5 of bundesliga. They now have a coach whom i rate as one of the best coaches in germany (for his age), and they are surely improving. Plus they have a young and prospective squad.

Having said this, i think the win today was nothing important. If we'd have lost the game, i wouldn't be any sadder. It's important that we experiment around, especially with our new arrivals and with our youngsters and i think we did that in a good way... The win today, except maybe for the morale, has no meaning whatsoever.
He is a good coach with an interesting side but unless he can find a balance between the uefa cup and the league there will be a lot of trouble. And that defense is just a joke, he should seriously think about putting Kehl there.

Guys, it was a friendly. The result doesn't matter at all, it matters how we played.
And the name of the opponent doesn't matter much at this stage. Some teams started the preparations much earlier than others and atm teams like Dortmund could easily beat Inter or Milan.

We played against Dortmund. Team that started the preparations earlier than we did. They already played a competetive match 4 days ago where they've beaten Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup.
And still, we seemed better prepared physically. Outrunning a German team is always special and yet we did it. We covered every part of the pitch, the ball movement was excellent, Amauri seems to fit well and the team seems well gelled.
We tried many different tactics and combinations. Crosses, through passes, counter attacks, zonal defending, man marking...everything works well.
With time it will only be better, especially when Giovinco gets back, when Del Piero hits form (it was obvious today that he just started with trainings) and when Mellberg-Chiellini get used to eachother.

Compared to last summer we're light years ahead. If you remember, nothing worked well last summer in July. This time our team works as a unit (we lost so many points in the first 1/3 of serie A, until the players got to know eachother better) and i don't think we'll have the same problems as last year.

We shouldn't underestimate or overestimate our results and our opponents in the friendlies. We should simply be happy that our team looks good and everything goes as planned.
There was a lot of flexibility in our tactics, which is great imo. The "wingers" had complete freedom to play inside, further up to make a 4-3-3 or just hug the line.

The only thing i wanted to see (and many people in here as well) is playing with three forwards upfront and especially Amauri, trezi and Alex. That is the combination that Ranieri needs to test at some point before the start of the season as it could or should be an option for consideration along the course of the season.

Because he told Jack you suck Seccos cock? (or worse elsewhere).

Somehow this make me think about Immortal Techniques line of: "If you can take a fucking dick, then you can take a joke" :p

Pretty funny stuff here. People taking lame ass shots against myself and others who actually give a damn about how we play out on the pitch, criticizing us because it's our opinion that we don't have enough creativity on the pitch to be successful. Some of these little jokers were also complaining about our lack of creativity during last season, but now they're laughing it up in regards to our potential problems this season. Laugh it up, motherfuckers.

3-1 Juventus, JULY 27, 2008. Big fucking deal. Lets just stop practicing right now after this glorious win against a Borussia Dortmund side and wait until matchday one of Serie A to resume play. I mean for Christ's sake, it's a friendly. People here were calling for Zebina's head just because he was getting owned by a bunch of Chinamen this summer. We all know he performs decently in Serie A, so why base anything on a friendly

I mean, Burke and I showed up to a high school friendly half intoxicated, so what should we take from that? It's a damn friendly.

For as long as we have been members, Vinni and I have been correct in our concerns with our lack of ideas on the pitch, lack of a plan, and lack of creativity, so don't even think for a New York minute that we're just a bunch of fucking morons. Instead of observing this game as a hobby, observe it as if it was one of your kids fucking around with fire.

I don't think anyone makes a big deal out of this win. Like you said, it was just a friendly.
We're simply happy that our team is well prepared and shows good form in front of the two most important matches of the last 2 years, the CL qualifiers.

February 1st, 1987

So he's 21, jokers.....
That's Giuseppe Rossi who's born on February 1st '87. He's the American kid who plays for Villareal.

They were asking about Fausto Rossi, Juve's young talent, who's born on December 3rd 1990.

P.S: Lucky Luke is still wrong though, because Fausto Rossi is 17 :D

I'm happy with the win too. But it's obvious people are brushing aside potential problems that we might (will) have this season.

Laugh it up.

Andy, not sure whats being mocked is saying we will have creativity problems, but constant and repetetive nonsensical doomsday rants by Vinman and Cronios.

Not so sure you want to group yourself with Vinny :D You havent said 5% of the crap he has spewed.
