:shifty: Some of them are though. Sad, but true.
Yep, some of them worked their asses off to be able to play in on of the strongest professional leagues in the world. Yep, true loosers, they even want to loose when they get on the pitch.:sergio:

These players may not be the best in their position, some of them may be just avarage or even below that, but they are not loosers. You don't get that far if you are a looser.

Gianluigi Buffon warned his Juventus teammates he can’t always plug the holes in their defence at the 93rd minute.

“Giving a goalkeeper awards and plaudits means sometimes having to earn it! I hope I proved I deserve all the compliments,” he said after two crucial saves in their 1-0 win over Maccabi Haifa.

“We wanted the three points at all costs to make up for that home draw with Bordeaux. That was all that counted and how we got there wasn’t entirely important at this moment.

“We created numerous scoring opportunities, but it’s normal in a Champions League game for the opponents to have a few chances.

“What we really should avoid is giving away those chances at the 93rd minute on a counter from our own corner with the opposition playing with 10 men.”

The Bianconeri risked drawing for the third Champions League game on the trot when Maccabi had a last-gasp chance, but Buffon was equal to it.

Juve were testing out a new 4-2-3-1 system with Mauro Camoranesi, Diego and Sebastian Giovinco fanning out behind David Trezeguet.

“Juventus certainly tried a new tactical system tonight that probably gives us more security at the back with players like [Momo] Sissoko and Felipe Melo protecting us.

“Obviously now we need to develop our attacking moves better, but we did create numerous chances tonight and so it went well.”

Bordeaux are now top of the group after beating nine-man Bayern Munich 2-1, while Juve trail two points behind them.

“From the moment the final whistle blew against Bordeaux I knew we’d carry that 1-1 draw around our necks right to the end,” sighed Buffon.

“The look of the table suggests I was right and to the last match it will be a battle.”

The goalkeeper even revealed a verbal tussle with the officials when they were waiting in the tunnel.

“The referee acted in a very arrogant manner to me and I replied, as I am not the person to do that to. I was worried at a certain point, as I didn’t want to be the first captain to be sent off before the game even started, so I calmed down.”
