[Serie A] Udinese 0-0 JUVENTUS (21-Dec- 2011) (76 Viewers)

[Quetzalcoatl]

In the past, when there were 30 or 34 rounds, the middle of the season (15 or 17 rounds) was before New Year so half season was exactly that - half season. That's why the winter champs were those who were leading the standings at half season. Now things got fucked up with more matches being played during the season. Still, the winter champs are imo those who lead the table at half season (19 rounds).

Is there an official definition? I doubt there is, so it's down to interpretation and I think yours is wrong. Winter champs determined midway through January or even later in a non Euro or World Cup year?

It's pointless anyway. Only thing that matters is our position in May.

Well, it's logical to be a "winter champ" after finishing the first part of the season (and you finish it in winter) and after playing every other team once.

That would be mid-season champ.

 

[Alen]

That would be mid-season champ.

Yes, mid season champ and full season champ.

Winter champ and....? Summer champ?

Mid-season champs and winter champs = same thing.

You guys are doing this on purpose.

What do they call it in Russia, Brazil or USA? If it was meant to be the champs after the half the season, they would have called it that.

Exactly. Everyone has mid-season but not everyone has winter champions and that's why there is no such thing as winter champ if it's different from a mid-season champion.

There is such thing, it's just unofficial - a nominal title created by the fans, media or whoever. It was probably coined in England and that's how they use it.

Conte did seem a bit cautious. Lately, good teams are just flooding our midfield and it seems we get ~5 3 on 3's a game but have no idea what to do.

God i'd love to see Krasic get a bit of form and play. At least if they start double teaming him, it'll open up the play.

So I had to miss this game due to work. How did we play?

Use caps lock next time.

 

[Linebreak]

If we continue to play negatively and cowardly away from him against so called good teams, soon enough we'll be overtaken by others.

We are good enough to impose our game but instead we change everything in the hope of countering an opponents strengths, in the end we cancel ourselves and our opponents out making for a dead boring game.

We need to be more imposing and more confident in our abilities.

 

[Fake Melo]

Use caps lock next time.

We did well neutralizing their players but couldn't make the breakthrough. Overall an OK match for us.

We were near goal with Marchisio 2-3 times. Somehow Pepe and Matri were frustrating today. Could have won, but could also have lost.

Aren't you the one who said we were in crisis after three matches? Two wins, one draw?

Thanks boi.

Even though I expected us to get the 3 points today, getting a draw at Udine in these circumstances is not a bad result at all.

In the end we've played merda, crapoli, lazio, roma, and udinese away from home and come away undefeated. Hopefully this is good news for us in the second half of the season.
