zolayes 14,489 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. I'm a Juventus fan and I'm proud to be on the same group stage of the European Champions. Well, I think we're still not the same as of pre-calciopoli era, but we have got good defenders even if no one of them is on the top 5 european defenders list (only 20 goals in 38 league matches conceeded last year); the midfield is our strong point, with the "Principino" Marchisio, the playmaker Pirlo and Arturo "Guerrero" Vidal who, albeit the name suggests he's a tough player, is also a very talented one; never to forget the new players Asamoah and Pogba (special thanks to Man Utd ). The lack of a good striker is important but on the other hand Vucinic is a very talented player. We do not definitely have a defensive play but we like ball possession and we do a great pressing over the opponent when we're not possessing the ball, and this mostly helps us to keep the opponent far from our goal.I think Chelsea will top the group as you have the best players and the new ones like Hazard will contribute to dramatically improve your squad. I hope but don't know if the Old Lady will manage to be qualified for the round of 16 but I'm sure we'll see a spectacular show from these two great teams!welcome ..you seem to have arrived in the middle of an Italian civil war ...Fans from other clubs are always welcome if they treat the forum with respect .

edetarod 2,155 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 lol, so many Juve fans here all of a sudden...really looking forward to the games, too bad Del Piero won't be there...and Torres vs Buffon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 People are trying so hard not to underestimate Juve that you are ending up overrating them. They are good and can be tricky, but let's be honest and skip the graciousness. We should top this group with few problems. I can't see Juve BEATING us. We may draw away but beat them at home. Shaktar away could probably be the trickiest match but we should be fine. I know we have some tough games before/after the CL matches but we have a deep squad with quality players, so should deal with it pretty comfortably.

Danelka 209 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Gotta love how a conversation about a Champions League group turned into a Juventus - Napoli debate on a Chelsea forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shulz 23 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Gotta love how a conversation about a Champions League group turned into a Juventus - Napoli debate on a Chelsea forum. I am really sorry, in fact I'm not replying anymore to childish arguments =)People are trying so hard not to underestimate Juve that you are ending up overrating them. They are good and can be tricky, but let's be honest and skip the graciousness. We should top this group with few problems.I can't see Juve BEATING us. We may draw away but beat them at home. Shaktar away could probably be the trickiest match but we should be fine. I know we have some tough games before/after the CL matches but we have a deep squad with quality players, so should deal with it pretty comfortably.of course forecasts are on your side, but I believe that the round will depend on how both Juve and Chelsea will do against Shakhtar, that I hope will only decide which one will pass first and which second.Last year we managed to tie 2 and win 2 out of 4 matches in season against Milan, which was a great team before they sold Ibra and Thiago.you are surely stronger than Milan, but both our teams got stronger so I'm expecting two balanced games.but I must admit that I'm worried for the effeciency of your game against teams with great ball possess. if barca always struggles the most against Chelsea that means we will need a great performance! may the best win =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I hope Conte we'll go with Buffon Barzagli---Bonucci---Chiellini Isla---Vidal---Pirlo---Marchisio---Asamoah Vucinic---GiovincoForgot you guys signed Isla as well! Looking forward to a great match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi Guys,I think Chelsea is stronger than Juve but not by very much.Prepare to be dissapointed. We're on another level to Juventus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Prepare to be dissapointed. We're on another level to Juventus.You can't be serious. We're talking about the team that finished sixth in the PL last season + Hazard vs the undefeated champions of Italy who have also strengthened during the summer. I think we might have a slight advantage, especially that most Juve players don't have much CL experience. But to say we are in a different level is very deluded.

Beirut_Blues 306 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 For sure we are not another level... we could come out on top but we are not that much better.Juve is the best team in Italy and they have a lot to prove and they are definitely capable.Our weakness this season is that we are no more underdogs and we are expected to come out on top.... FOREVER CHELSEA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Underestimating team in Europe is a dangerous game to play. Everybody fully expected mu to top the group comfortably last year yet the were out, the same for city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillu247 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 i am a juve fan but i am happy to facing chelsea as they are a team I really admire. Last time we met the match ended in a 2-2 draw at our home, but this time is a different story, we have a new stadium in which we haven't lost any game yet and we have a better team. I hope we see great football from both teams and I wish that both juve and chelsea qualify from the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Happy that Chelsea got FCN. Will go watch it at Copenhagens stadium, so sad that we fucked up and gave FCN the league title last year though, could have been us instead.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wouldnt underestimate Juve. They got Pirlo!! That man kills teams with his passes....Mikel will have his work cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Spain showed us how to beat Juve then? They kept Pirlo out of the game and Italy could do nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are no Spain. They got players like Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Iniesta in the midfield vs Pirlo. Not fair!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
