I don't think we learnt that well. Could have easily been 1-1 on the penalty and we just lack that lethal edge, even with one of the best players in the history of the game!

If we could pull that first 45 mins of the first Manure leg for an entire game, that'd be an unbeatable team. Even if we missed a lot of chances there too.

yes if only every team we faced would put 11 players behind the ball we would have so much possession.

Gratz on reward. I hope European coach of the year is to follow. This Juve is far from perfect, in fact I often think about other coaches, possible replacements if he were to leave at the end of season. But I cant see anyone capable of that level of consistency. He has inredible win ratio, most of the time his subs have positive effect on our game, his ability to control the game, or adapt to opponent and exploit their weakness, flexibility and creating a system based on players, etc... all that and more makes him very hard to replace.

Seems like he learned the lesson. Told players to stay up and press the shit out of milan back line, and think what happened? They couldn't come anywhere near our box.

They're a tired, injured team, and even Kessie and Higuain were half-fit. Plus that defense conceded in every game bar only one. It was common sense to press them.

Just like it's common sense to realize we can't "steamroll" opponents right now with our tired midfield (referring to some mind-numbing posts in match thread).

Not so fast, lets take a look at what other "respectful" sites are reporting. This is Goal.com`s headline from yesterday:

If he was to stay he would have extended his contract by now. Zizou will lead us to CL glory.

 

[il brutto]

He has a contract until 30.06.2020. There's no rush.

How many of you would trade Max for Zidane?

Maybe both him and the club are taking their time, seeing how this season goes etc.

The investment has been heavy.

I think personally Allegri was smart in saying he’d like to stay longer in charge. Takes off the pressure in the week in week out talks regarding his future. Zizou and Marcelo will be with us next season.

No.

 

[Gep]

Not me. But I think this is Max’s last season with us.

No.

But if Allegri asks to leave and we let him go, I'd take Zizou gladly.

Yeh. Even if it is a lie, its better to use those kind of diplomatic answers to shrug off the media.

Otherwise the media would make a circus out of it until the end season.

I’m not sure if I rate Zidane as highly as others. The squad he had at Real Madrid was ridiculous, and yet he finished 20 points behind Barca in the league in 2017/18. Allegri would never blow the league like that.

But obviously his record in the CL is impeccable.

Maybe you were too young to remember the two seasons before 2017/2018.

That was a great achievement indeed, but there is quite a big difference in quality between Real Madrid’s midfield and our midfield.

Also, Real Madrid get calls in the Champions League which we don’t get. Zizou wouldn’t get that benefit here. That Vazquez penalty is never a penalty for Juve.

There is also a big difference between competing against Barcelona and other La Liga teams and competing against Napoli and shittier Serie A teams.

Not trying to downplay Max's achievements as it's hard to tell which is the best coach between him and Zidane but context is needed to make a comparison.

I believe Juve would be punished more in La Liga due to our complacent behavior after taking the lead.

@Nedved96 You a Max groupie now?
