who delivers a better long pass than Pirlo?

his defensive work is also very underrated.

Yep i agree, but he also tends to hold on to the ball quite so much and if he does that it plays right into the hands of Barca, if you remember the Inter game with Mourinho when they beat Barca, i remember Sneijder dropping very deep in the MF and usually in the wings ( it's much riskier to give him the ball in the middle with barca pressing becuase if the gain the ball it's really dangerous situation, their second and 3rd goal yesterday) and inter defence passed it to sneijder as soon as they recover the ball and he played long balls toward Milito right away skipping the MF area where barca pressing is too much too handle.

I wonder if Conte would try something like that, switching Vidal and Pirlo position.

 

[Gian]

No, Real on their day could cause us some serious trouble. Their speed from the wings would hurt us, as it would kill our offensive game and provide us no width due to our wing backs falling back.

Oscar against Chelsea did a decent job on Pirlo. I fail to understand why Ozil wouldn't do as much as a decent job as him in a much better team.

Because Ozil sucks at picking up his man, there's a reason why Low decided to play Kroos in the semi-final in the middle.

But I think RM would be a bad draw, we are quite a pro-active team and that would suit RM and their counters imo

Asa will probably play a lot deeper and line up as a kind of 4th CB, with Giorgio pushing up on Messi.

I'd rather face Bayern than the two big Spanish and even Dortmund. Arsenal had a period in the first leg where they could've easily been scoring another 2 goals. People underrate Real, Barca and Dortmund(They've been miles better than Bayern in Europe this year) and overrate Bayern who I think we'd beat.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Italy were exhausted by the time the final came around, plus the injury to Giorgio messed up everything.

And played for basically half the game with 10 men.

I think we could handle barca and we stand a decent chance against them, our team seems to be able to soap the pressure quite well, with a couple of tweek in our formation i'm sure we'll give them a run for their money, my only concern is our forward line, our only attacker who could run into space is Matri but he can't make the differe,ce, I would definetely play Vucinic as a SS but dropping in the left he wouldn't have to play with his back to the goal and i think he could easily take barca defenders and finally bring Giovinco in the second half to exploite the space behind the defence.

Uefa schedule for CL is really fvcked up. Just saw that first and second leg of both 1/4 and 1/2 finals are played in April.

 

[Nicholas]

One thing is for sure, we wouldn't look like a joke like Milan did last night.

 

[Bianconero81]

You're a joke.

I told you to stop talking to me. Oh, and that coming from you, I shall consider a compliment, since I don't value anything you say anyway.

Don't try to be me. I know you want to, but you just can't.

No, we won't. Please be reasonable.

I would never wish ill upon myself or anyone else for that matter, so please don't flatter yourself. If I was looking to be an insignificant, annoying, pesky human being, I'd definitely ask you for tips

Excuses

Anyway, I don't want us to draw Real or Bayern, they scare me.

You don't even know how to quote a post, and you want to be me?

 

[Bianconero81]

Whatever dude. I guess quoting posts is tres formidable.

 

[IrishZebra]

Bayern, Dortmund,

Only two teams I fear.

Think Gala or Psg would be the best to hope for

 

[Bianconero81]

I don't fear Dortmund. I respect them for what they have accomplished in this season's CL, and for their style of play, but I think over 2 legs we can definitely dispose of them. It will by no means be an easy task, but we do have the better defense and midfield.

As for Bayern...

 

[napoleonic]

let's see how bayern do against arsenal tonight first, I think they are a bit overrated.... but I agree that bayern, barca and real are above on their own level, dortmund I still classify as just slightly above us and PSG.

but argh fuck that, bring these big boys, it's been too long since we have big european battles
