You just said this club world cup counts for nothing. Clearly the teams competing for it aren't. We are in the same position as likes of Botafago, Palmeiras and all those South American sides who are in desperate need of money.

But instead you are more concerned about losing the Serie A opener like it would derail our entire season.

There's no need for a reality check. JJ is not a top club anymore, everyone understands that, hence it becomes even more important that we take these easy cash grab tournaments more seriously.

But when you see this clown coach fielding almost an entire B team in a game that actually matters, it makes you question our intentions. It's like giving up before the game has even been played. Might as well forfeit the tie against Madrid too while we're at it.

Clearly the Serie A opener against the superstars of Italy matters more.
Agree. I never understood those saying this tournament is meaningless. If it is....all the more to go all in. If Madrid and Bayern didn't take it seriously all the more easy for us to take the huge payday home.

Instead everybody is taking it seriously. Did Madrid not pay millions to have a player early for this tournament?

It had no prestige now because it's just started. That will obviously build over the years but in the meantime we need to go as far as possible for the money

I wish this would have been easier, but Tudor fucked up the game plan against City. We basically guaranteed ourselves a clash with one of the top favourites to win it all, right next to City. It’s going to be extremely tough, but not impossible, as long as Tudor doesn’t feel like sending another « statement » to management :lol:

I just said it was a typo, pal. Winning the trophy would matter but we don't stand a fucking chance... So to the 1/8 of 1/4 final is a difference of 10-12 mil and that's it. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves; the only thing that matters for us in this world cup is the money. Nobody even would be there without the money. I thought it was Rummenige who hinted at that even today.

Yes, I'd much rather lose a stupid meaningless game against City than already bottle the season opener and start doubting ourselves once more at the start of another difficult season. Duh, it's not rocket science.

Fielding a B-team can have many reasons too. I don't see the need to be bashing our coach for giving other players a chance in preseason when we're already qualified... It's a typical overreaction from Tuz.

It seems your entire recent posts have been a typo lately.

Yes, clearly fielding a full strength team against City and trying to top the group to get a weaker opponent in the knockouts would have ensured we bottle the Serie A opener due to happen in like 1.5 months time...

Stop chatting shit ffs

Having a normal discussion is pretty hard these days with everyone acting like toddlers on meth. So verbally agressive lol.

The other side of the bracket isn't exactly weaker. Thinking we stood a chance against City with our defence like that is, well, kind of funny... As I said; realism is needed.

Ooh you're linking those two results. I didn't. Just highlighted the importance of one against the other and what we're actually working for.

And if you think we stood a chance against City, why whine and fear Real? Just beat them, right? And afterwards it's a walk in the park.

The funny thing was Pep and City trying to score as many goals against Al Ain (they fell short of a goal )

"We pushed and pushed to score another goal to try to finish first but we missed by one goal," Guardiola said.
"We know what we need to do against the Italian team to finish as number one."

Little did they know the surprise organised by JJ and Tudor for them which left them feel really cheated after all the efforts to pummel the Emiratis.
Ah , if only they knew how bad is JJ is ......

Maybe he doesn't care about this tournament and evaluate the team with rotating and testing the players.
You don't need to rotate to know who is shit and it doesn't take a genius to see how limited Kelly, Nico, and Vlahovic are. He wanted to rest the important players, that is all. What he should've been watching was how his formation and tactics can never cope with City and that he needs a rethink for Mardid.

He doesn't have many options on the bench. Thuram and Yildiz are at high level but in other departments everyone is at the same level(I give higher rate to Kalulu than other DFs), we are gonna have a young team with a young coach and the way of playing will be surly better than Motta's team.

At least fucking try. That's all I'm asking for.
But he didn't even do that against City. That's the point. Idk how that's so hard to understand.
Well in this regard Idk how it's hard to understand you don't have a 25-men squad to only use 11 and at times - for example when already qualified, when faced with a game you'll lose anyway or in preseason or even better; all three of them - you try to use some other guys to keep some guys happy and other guys fresh.

That doesn't mean you don't want to win. It possibly means some guys were tired, the next game was valued more or whatever dozens of reasons you can think of but def not him wanting to lose the game. You're not listening to his words or the team's if you think that.

Its not a CL level of prestige but from what Im gathering around it is more than a friendly. The tournament has a decent following in the media. Juventus should not concede 5 goals in a game, 2 shots on target, less than 30% on the ball. That is unacceptable. He messed up a lineup. Id sack him on a spot after that match. Lets see what he can do against Real, but another pounding and he should fuck off. What I hate is seeing our players being scared on the ball, most of them are looking to get rid of it asap. It's a game afterall, you are paid millions to play and you fail at its very basics.

It shouldn't be. How tf are we gonna attract new generations playing like this? Us oldies will follow the club regardless but we did not become fans of a mediocre European club when we started watching football. Juventus represented the very best a football team can give. I see no incentive for new generations to tune in and watch our games.

Here's the thought process of a normal person: 1) Would you rather face Real or Al Hilal/Salzburg? Answer: Al Hilal/Salzburg. I (my team) would face Real if I have to. Of course, I want an easier route (not easy, but the word is 'easier').
2) How do I avoid playing Real unnecessary? Answer: By topping my group.
3) Should I make wholesale changes of my team to face City to top my group, knowing City is a tough opponent? Answer: No. At least with the starting XI, I would have a CHANCE. With a bunch of reserve players, I would have NO CHANCE.

Well as I said; there's truth to both. No one I know is watching these shitty games in Belgium.

After the season we had, we could use some decent exposure but that won't happen in a fucking friendly, lol. A lot of fans just aren't realistic in any sense of the word. Even if we had won here, nothing would have changed.

We need new blood and a scorching start to the season. There is no other remedy.


The games are in the middle of the fucking night in Europe. No one (of the biggest audience) is staying up for them. The money arguement holds but the audience is overrated by a huge margin.


Saw the line-up, didn't care. That's what preseason is for. He didn't exactly have the chance to rotate when he came in. That time is now. And it's not as if we would've won otherwise with an emergency in defence. That much was obvious. So no it's not all on Tudor at all imo.
Im not saying we should have won nor did I expect anything good tbh. But we had a great chance to finish first and have a free ticket to a quarter or even semi final, which would have earned us a ton of money to reinvest in the squad. Also most games especially knock outs are at a good time - only one Juve game was in the middle of the night out of 4.

Anyways we will get crushed tomorrow sign some mediocre fucks and will fight 4th spot again. Tudor will get sacked around march and its year zero all over again.

Also by winning games you great a positive atmosphere in the squad - and conceding 5 goals should never be accepted

We didn’t even need to win to finish 1st as well.

With our full strength team on and us taking it somewhat seriously, we could easily have gotten a draw. Or at least tried to and if we lost, maybe make it close and or respectable.

2-5 is a fucking embarrassment in an official game. Not good enough at all. And with the Weah drama, this scoreline and the lack of movement in transfers etc, more negative energy is radiating this club, yet again.

So in other words, an Italian thought so highly of Tudor’s project at JJ that he wanted to join a mid table Inglish club.

"Tudor liked Coppola a lot but he went to the Premier League."

True, certainly. You also do so by not ignoring half of the team at a tournament that already shortened their vacation. And not playing them now, would've basically meant not playing them at all. So whether we agree with it or not because that's everyone's personal vision on it, it's perfectly explicable why.

Imo we didn't have a great chance to finish first. As soon as City was drawn in our group we were second at best without a miracle. City is one of the three best teams in the world. They just happened to have a hiccup period past season but they're certainly still up there in terms of quality.

Oh boo hoo a bunch of over paid millionaires have to shorten their vacation :lol:

Susan, Nico, Koop etc have been on vacation all year. They haven't earned the right to rest now.

And we absolutely did have a chance to finish first. What a lame mentality.
In bold: Thank you; which is why they played. Lol?

It's called realism instead of the usual 'we are Juventus' bullshit.

City is arguably better than this Real so what's the difference? Then simply beat them with everbody rested and you actually have an easier QF.

Edit: thought we avoided PSG.
