If you're from 81', you're old enough!

1999

Bayern v Manchester

One of the hardest things I've ever had to watch in my life. I'd rather see dogs being put to sleep.

Juan Carlos Valeron

Opinions on this criminally underrated player?

 

[AOD4]

The moment you say Valeron it reminds me of Deportivo's comeback against Milan. Would you put him as a number 10 ?

How good was Roberto Mancini as a player?

How good was Roberto Mancini as a player?

He was decent enough. Had a good sense of positioning, basic skills and good finishing. To me he was like a poor man's Vieri.

Still a better player than 90% of today's Italian average Strikers.

Terrific player, real brain behind that Depor side.

I can't say much about it as i remember very very little of him. In all my years of watching Football i was never really big on Spanish players.

I thought he was more of a SS/number 10 than a number 9?

Yeah, Manure had a lot of luck that year. Don't forget how they eliminated Juve. The crucial thing happened in our first game in Turin when those lucky mugs scored 93rd minute equalizer. Juve-Bayern would be hell of a final that year.

Roy Keane is the reason Juve were knocked out.
He was unreal that night, even though he knew he'd miss the final.

Good enough to play professionally.

Word, that team was so silly, Bayern's I mean. I miss Scholl.

Roy Keane was the reason a lot of people were knocked out, he was a boxer before he was a footballer.

Pessotto should never have been marking Keane for the corner. Keane mightn't be tall, but he was much better in the air than Pessotto.

Street Lippi.

He was mostly a SS, yes. I meant his style of playing was similar to Vieri. Had a somewhat sturdiness about him, yet always seemed to find the right spots.

Scholl's free kicks were amazing, I remember he managed to score on one occasion while starting to slip just before the shot. Later on, after 2000 he was injured far too often, but in his prime, in Bayern and IIRC he was in Stuttgart before, he was world class player, no doubt.
