Juventus 1-3 Inter: unbeaten run ends at 49
The starting line-ups
Juventus lost a Serie A game for the first time under Antonio Conte, and for the first time in their new stadium.
Conte selected a partnership of Mirko Vucinic as the primary striker and Sebastian Giovinco just behind – the rest of the side was as expected.
Andrea Stramaccioni slightly surprisingly selected his tridente rather than a more cautious 3-5-1-1 system, so Fredy Guarin was only on the bench.
Juventus took the lead within twenty seconds, but Inter were the better side for the majority of the game.
Formations / pressing
It was anticipated that Stramaccioni would play a mirror image of Juventus’ formation, but in using a front three it prompted questions about how Inter would play high up the pitch. Would Stramaccioni instruct anyone to track Pirlo? Would the front three press?
The answer to both questions was, well, sort of. In terms of dealing with Pirlo, Inter’s front three took it in turns to mark him. It was rarely Antonio Cassano, who stayed wide on the left and stretched the play, but Diego Milito and Rodrigo Palacio alternated between the central and right-sided positions and ensured one was goalside of Pirlo when Juventus had the ball.
This only half-worked. Stopping Pirlo is the priority when facing Juventus, but it would be inaccurate to simply point to Inter’s victory and declare that their strategy for dealing with him was successful. Twice in the first half, Pirlo got space in midfield and dinked the all over the top of the defence for Claudio Marchisio to run onto – had either of those strikes found the net, we would be criticising Stramaccioni for the foolish decision to ignore Pirlo’s threat.
As for pressing, Inter generally stood off in open play, but pressed at goal-kicks. Because they had a numerical disadvantage in midfield, 3 v 2, it meant being very brave with the positioning of the defenders – at one point, Juan Jesus advanced crazily high up the pitch to shut down Arturo Vidal – but this made sense, with Esteban Cambiasso pushing up on Pirlo.
Juventus were already ahead by the time this situation had become clear, of course. Juve were fielding their most mobile front two, players who would drag around the ponderous Inter defence, and although the offside decision for the opener was questionable, it was Inter’s defence being drawn up the pitch that resulted in the space for midfield runners to burst through.
Possession and wing-backs
Inter recovered admirably from the initial setback, passing the ball nicely across the defence and quickly into the front three. This dominance was helped by Juve playing a reactive game with a one-nil lead, and it was surprising to see Conte’s side invite so much pressure. They had forward runners to play on the counter-attack, of course, but it helped Inter get the upper hand in the wing-back battles on the flanks.
This was particularly obvious down the left, and while Cassano wasn’t hugely involved in a game that was arguably too quick for him, his tendency to stay wide on the left forced Stephane Lichtsteiner back towards his own goal, as Juve were nervous about leaving 3 v 3 at the back. With Lichtsteiner close to the defence, Yuto Nagatomo could move higher up and got space to himself. On the other side, the battle was more even – Kwadwo Asamoah made a couple of decent runs, but Javier Zanetti played higher up and increased the pressure upon Juve, who failed to break from defence quickly.
Lichtsteiner was removed having committed a foul when on a yellow card (so he was a Cleverley rather than a Wilshere), while at half-time, Nicklas Bendtner had to replace Vucinic through injury. Therefore, Juve were two subs down by the start of the second half, and considering how effectively they’d used the bench so far this season (for both tactical and fitness reasons) it was a great constraint, especially in such a high-tempo game.
The formations after Guarin replaced Cassano
Inter equalised through Milito, from a penalty following a set-piece, and then Juventus had to up the tempo and get back in the game. They did so rather clumsily – the wing-backs naturally positioned themselves higher, but the centre-backs often moved forward and were then caught out on the counter-attack.
Guarin
The first tactical substitution of the game came after 69 minutes, and was the game’s crucial change. Cassano was removed, with Guarin replacing him. Inter moved to more of a 3-4-1-2 system, with Guarin pressing Pirlo. This changed the shape of the game, and Inter’s crucial second goal came directly as a result of Guarin’s presence. He won the ball from Pirlo, then stormed past him in a quick attack, and the ball was eventually tucked away by Milito. Guarin’s contribution was decisive, minutes after his introduction.
Juventus chucked on Fabio Quagliarella for Caceres, with Vidal going to right-wing-back, Giovinco becoming the number ten, and Juve more like 3-4-1-2.
Stramaccioni responded by taking off Milito and introducing Gaby Mudingayi to sit in front of the defence close to Giovinco, with Inter now 3-5-1-1. Juve chucked men forward, but were exposed on the counter-attack by Nagatomo and Palacio, and Inter grabbed a third.
Conclusion
Stramaccioni had two possible strategies – using Guarin with two forwards, or using only two central midfielders with a trio up top. He’ll be praised for his bravery, but the reality is that Pirlo did have opportunities to create from deep, and Inter went ahead when Guarin was introduced to press him. Was that an inspired substitution, or was he simply reverting to the strategy he should have used from the start?
Maybe a combination of the approaches was ideal – the front three forced Juventus to be conservative with the positioning of their wing-backs, and then Guarin brought renewed energy and counter-attacking ability and occupied Pirlo when the front three had tired.
Juventus 1-3 Inter: unbeaten run ends at 49
I think Strama was playing 3-4-3 with the sole intent of sitting deep then counterattacking. He didn’t really expect Juve to play on the counter and leave Inter with possession. But, still the trident ensured that Inter pinned them back, and relying solely on 2 strikers to counterattack was difficult for Juve.
it very obvious playing giovinco and vucinic were not threatening enough on the opponent’s goal. And both players failed again to impose themselves. Inter weren’t helped by cassano’s lack of defending by closing down pirlo and juve didn’t help themselves by having two creative but non threatening strikers / forwards. The threat as always came from marchisio, vidal and pirlo making forward runs and wingers to open up space but inter responded well tactically by using the trident.
your comment is not correct .
ZM…do you think that after his strong performances that Juve will play more of Pogba in that deep role, considering Pirlo’s given defensive weakness, his age (stamina)and the fact that Juve can’t afford to concede many goals because of their obvious lack of scoring ability (especially in Europe) or are their back 3 not good enough on the ball to initiate attacks?
IMO, I don’t think so.
It’s true that Pirlo is certainly not a holder, and sometimes he can be caught up in the pitch, out of position.
Yet the back 3 is generally enough securing for Juve (even if Inter’s 2nd goal yesterday is a counterexample).
Plus, Pogba is seemingly not a holder either, he’s more a box-to-box player, which makes a good substitute for Vidal or Marchisio. I’m wondering whether he can really threatens the playing time of one of these two players from this season onwards…
“or are their back 3 not good enough on the ball to initiate attacks?”
IMO, Juves bacl 3 (Barzagli, Bonucci and Chielline) were nevere good enough to initiate attacks or defend. Barzagli si their best defender (enough said). The real defense or attack strength of Juve was always their midfield.
“Maybe a combination of the approaches was ideal – the front three forced Juventus to be conservative with the positioning of their wing-backs, and then Guarin brought renewed energy and counter-attacking ability and occupied Pirlo when the front three had tired.”
I think it was the second one. According to Guarin (on Inter Channel post match interview) the ide was to put him later (knowing that Cassano can’t play a full 90 minutes)when Pirlo and the others were tired. At least, that’s what he suggested.
“I don’t recall seeing Guarin play in that kind of advanced midfield position before”
He did that with Porto, and he was great.
about the back 3 .. i thought that was the reason conte contemplated to use marrone in a back 3 position so that he could actually initiate attacks from defensive positions – that would leave pirlo, and marrone both deep lying playmakers and offer more variation and threat to juve’s game. it’s quite definite that barzagli is the better defender of the trio but none of them can pass a long ball like marrone.
I will really disagree with this. Juve’s defenders are really good passers. Even Chiellini who lacks a bit of technique can pass well, but not long. On the other side both Barzagli and Bonnucci can give quick and long balls forward. This was they key for Italy and for Juve for so long. You press Pirlo the deffenders can initiate an attack, you press the defenders (like in the first half this game)- Pirlo plays his game.
I think Juve’s problems is the wing backs. Last season Simone Pepe, Giaccerini and Lichteiner were great, this season Lichteiner is not so comfortable and I do not really like Asamoah at the wing. Putting someone more offensive like Giaccerini would be much better according to me.
mIchaeeeel , can i fuuuck your girlfriend asss? she is such a whooore. she swallows cum for free…
what a prostitute…and she is cheap..almost free
you pay to be with her?
For people who don’t think Chiellini is a good passer watch my video on vimeo,Chiellini vs Chelsea.
When did Juve start to play well? Oh right, when they got Pirlo.
Who has been the fulcrum of their teams throughout its unbeaten run? Pirlo.
Who had never lost a league game in a Juve uniform? Pirlo.
Now they lose 1(!) game and you’re calling for his replacement. And on what basis? An “obvious lack of scoring ability”?
What are you talking about? Would it be too much trouble to actually deal with reality instead of making stuff up? Here’s Juve’s results this year courtesy of Football-Lineups.com, on their way to averaging 2.66 goals per game (40 in 15) with 4 draws and one loss – contemplate and then let’s hear your argument about how they can’t score:
11-Aug Napoli Supercoppa 4-2
25 Parma Serie A 2-0
02-Sep Udinese Serie A 4-1 3-5-2
16 Genoa Serie A 3-1
19 Chelsea Champions 2-2
22 Chievo Serie A 2-0
25 Fio’ina Serie A 0-0
29 Roma Serie A 4-1
02-Oct ShakhtarChampions 1-1
07 Siena Serie A 2-1
20 Napoli Serie A 2-0
23 Nordsjæ Champions 1-1
28 Catania Serie A 1-0
31 Bologna Serie A 2-1
03-Nov Inter Serie A 1-3
Fair point about Strama getting away with leaving Pirlo free, especially in the first half. It must be said that had Ranocchia not been so poor, Inter would’ve handled those runs easily and Handanovic and Zanetti would not have had to bail Inter out.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think Zanetti’s individual performance received enough praise. On multiple occasions he was isolated with Asamoah, a man 16 years (!) his junior, and came out on top each time. The one time Asamoah got past him, Zanetti recovered to block the cross; it was the strange ricochet that Handanovic had to push over the bar. Gargano was also tremendous defensively; he sprinted back to recover a number of balls and break up Juve counters.
I was hoping to see Guarin play that role from the start and Inter actually might have been even more convincing with him playing the whole game. I don’t recall seeing Guarin play in that kind of advanced midfield position before, but he certainly has the characteristics to play there a la KP Boateng and Hamsik.
Guarin could reprise that role in place of Sneijder/Coutinho in certain matches and be a real weapon for Inter.
Back in Porto times he was an adventurous CM.
i agree with you on zanetti! Time and time again he beat out asamoah one on one, it was like fantastic, I mean I am a juve fan but seeing zanetti showing class was wonderful and there was none of those nonsense- he did his job kept pace and pushed. I mean the whole wing area belonged to him. As for guarin i would have to say that strama’s strategy went on perfectly. Inter was on top and played with more purpose even with 1-0 down and I thought inter handled juve well even though Juve was much more imposing and aggresive. It was a smart victory.
It was always obvious that Pirlo would be the game’s key player, I’m not saying anything new here. He’s Juve’s biggest strength in attack and their biggest weakness in defence. Ignoring him isn’t necessarily a terrible strategy as long as you track his passing options tightly, and Inter didn’t do that, they seemed overwhelmed by Juve’s early movement and speed. Evetually, Palacio and Milito did start loosely pressing Pirlo, and that calmed Juve down a bit.
Really, Inter were just plain bad in the first half. Struggled badly to contain Juve and couldn’t build up any attacks. Both those things go down to two Juventus players, Pirlo and Giovinco. Pirlo creats for Juve, that’s pretty obvious, so Cambiasso also spent a while trying to press him, which left Vidal and Marchisio to Gargano. Then, Cambiasso would join the attacks, leaving Gargano to try and dribble past 3 Juve midfielders every time he won the ball, and Inter would lose possession again.
The Giovinco bit, he was causing Ranocchia all kinds of problems, and he was pulling out to the left quite often, so Zanetti often had to deal with him, and this left Asamoah open, causing him to threaten Inter’s defence on a number of occasions. It also meant Zanetti was often too deep to be Inter’s out ball.
In the second half, Inter simply played with more intensity. They were first to every ball, bravely pushing forward, and keeping Juventus very tame. Nagatomo got more involved, Zanetti got more involved, Gargano had actual passing options when he got the ball, everything looked better. Then, as you said, the Guarin change exposed Pirlo and Inter created a number of chances through Guarin just being near Pirlo. Once that happened, Inter looked comfortable and assured.
I am putting this here as the site is trying to block my comments in the United vs Arsenal article:
ZM you are a disgrace,I won’t go away and as long as you continue to show your hate for Spanish clubs and La Liga I will keep on pointing it out in your repetitive EPL articles.At best I think you are jealous that La Liga is the best league in the world so you don’t cover it,at worst your bias reeks of a “little englander” attitude.
The way you treat your audience is disgusting.You have already lost many of your best readers,your comment numbers are dwindling by the month and I hope you continue to lose more viewers as you ignore everybody’s feedback and treat them with contempt.
Ok, but can you stop posting from the same computer with different names to make it look as if there’s people agreeing with you? That’s a bit dumb
For the record – I like Spanish football – I’ve been over to Spain to see matches a few times in the last couple of years, more than anywhere else I’ve been. In fact I’m half-considering trying to get to all twenty La Liga grounds (obviously it’ll change from year to year). If this makes me a “Spanish hater”…well, good luck with that angle.
you had stopped my comments just because i called you dumb once so i had to retort to a different id . but i dont think you can take negative feedback and you language of answer is also not very good but if the person retorts to the same language in the post then you block him.
Speaking as someone who has to read your posts, please stop. It not only detracts from football talk, but from the looks of things you are consistently insulting and rude. You basically offer nothing except a tantrum. Please stop.
I can see why he would have blocked your posts, as they add nothing to the discourse. I’ve read three of your comments on this article and none of them have been informative or insightful. As Rob says, you’re just throwing temper tantrums, which none of us want to see, so good on ZM for getting rid of you.
Inter’s main strategy with the trident was to push Lichtsteiner back to create space for Nagatomo on the left and it worked, but maybe Guarin from the start would have been a better choice against Pirlo, as neither Milito or Palacio did a good job tracking him, as expected from two strikers, and Guarin had such an impact when entering the game, being involved in the two goals. Juve played too cautiously until Inter’s goal imo but Inter fully deserved to win, they were bold and they reacted admirably to some questionable calls going against them.
Any idea how Sneijder will fit in once he returns from injury? Possibly replacing Palacio?
If Strama has balls he will sit Cassano. Sneijder and Cassano are very alike and the team will lose balance with both of them on the field in big games. As we saw with the Juve game he was the least likely to pick up Pirlo, and this has as much to do with his attacking potency as it does laziness. He’s just not that type of player. Sniejder while a bit more willing to work is also not the type to track back. When Wesley returns we will set up in a 3-4-1-2 instead of a 3-4-3. Sneijder will be the 1. If he can return to the Sneijder of old, Inter could become even more dangerous. If he returns to the Sneijder of the last 2 years, he could upset the balance and we could start dropping points.
“If Strama has balls he will sit Cassano”
Pfffft.
Cassano this season: 5 goals, 3 assists, man of the match twice.
Sneijider: 2 goals 3 assists, MOTM 3 times, but most of those stats were accrued in Europa League qualifiers.
On that basis, sitting Cassano for Sneijder would be silly. Maybe if Sneijder has finally gotten over his “I scored a ton at the World Cup, so I can do whatever I want” bullshit, he could be the 1 in a 3412 with Cassano pulling out to the left as a forward, but that would require that Sneijder restrain at least to some degree his own natural tendency to drift left.
I think you missed the point. The question was how do you fit Sneijder. The answer is sit Cassano instead of Palacio. They will both take time sitting (as should Wesley) but for me Cassano is less compatible. Everything else you said could have been copied and pasted from the last 2 sentences of my post.
Well, the winning run started with a 3-4-1-2 with Coutinho as the ‘1′, that’d be Sneijder’s natural place, whether the system continues to work or not is another issue.
One of the biggest reasons behind Inter’s inconsistent start to the season was that the front 3 of Cassano-Sneijder-Milito all stayed very high up and offered nothing defensively. Milito’s normally a hard-worker, but up until the last few games, he would just walk around all game long, barely even offering an out-ball. So, when Sneijder got injured, Coutinho came in and gave the team balance by running hard all game long (aside from his obvious attacking contribution), and Coutinho’s injury coincided with Palacio returning (another hard worker), as well as Milito and Cassano both stepping up their defensive games. So, like Thatdude says, Sneijder will either promote the team to world-class or completely destroy the balance, depending on his mindset when he returns.
The other problem he was having, aside from his recent lack of defensive work-rate, is that when he plays, Inter’s main strategy is just to give him the ball and watch him do nothing. Play becomes too central, and he gets frustrated and starts belting the ball at every opportunity. Right now, Inter’s system relies on quickly getting the ball to the flanks before one of Cassano or Milito centres it. The Sneijder that this Inter needs is the AM/CM hybrid who comes deep, spreads the ball out quickly, then jolts forward to support the attack. If he returns as that player, I will call Inter odds on for the Scudetto, other teams would not be able to stop that attack. Cassano remains the primary creative threat, Sneijder becomes the player to supply him in dangerous positions, as well as the one to quickly get the ball to Nagatomo. Therefore, stopping Inter would not be a case of marking Sneijder out of the game, as he isn’t the main creator.
However, the Sneijder Inter have had since Mourinho left (bar a few odd games here and there, including Stramaccioni’s first few in charge) is the SS who lingers on the ball, realizes he’s not a dribbler, shoots from distance, then complains to his teammates as he watches them defend the oncoming counter-attack. If he comes back as that player and gets regular playing time, Inter can expect another disappointing season.
Strama definitely went with a live and die by the sword type of approach. If you remember correctly he did the same during the Roma match and paid dearly with a reverse scoreline. The difference tonight was Juve’s willingness to soak pressure instead of continuing to dictate, and the new belief Strama has instilled in the team (8 straight wins helps). Pirlo was definitely free as all he had to do was move 10 yards up the field and neither Palacio nor Milito were willing to follow. Both of the chipped balls for Marchisio came from Pirlo in a very advanced role, just a couple yards outside the box on the first chance. If Marchisio scores its obviously a different game and we’re talking about a possible rout. However, would Juve sit back and let Inter dictate the tempo if Strama did not field 3 forwards?
Bottom line is Juve only scored one goal and it should have been called back for offsides. So overall Inter’s defense did the job and the back three seems to be working for us just fine. Handanovic must be our signing of the season, with a close second being Juan Jesus. Palacio is quality as well.
If only Gareth Bale copies what Nagatomo did in second half. Bushido spirit, no matter opponent pushes him, he won’t fall easily.
worst blog i ever seen….
so much people talking instead of doing….
go and be managers or players…
hate internazionale but nagatomo is a player extraordinaire
Cassano was playing at the left wing only as the position of Liechesteiner leaves a big space behind him. With Nagatomo pressing him, it was a great chance for Cassano to take advantage of that gap. But he failed to do so due to his pace. I mean he’s got a heart surgery & is back on field. A wing is not a position for such a player. Alvaro Perreira would have been much great but he barely moves infield. Sneijder, Ricky or Coutinho would have been correct at this position. Sneijder should play a role like Diego played in Atletico Madrid ”The ball feeder for Falcao”. Here Sneijder should be a ball feeder for Milito or Cassano. Cassano should be playing as a centre man replacement for Milito as he is too slow. The wing backs will give wong power and Guarin, Camibasso, Gargano, Mudingayi are all good at holder. Coutinho or Ricky can well replace Sneijder. & Palacio is great at where he is. So now when Inter needs to defence they have 6-7 , when the attack they have 5-6 & on counter they have 3 up to break through in a 523 wing backs formation.
1. Cassano has basically *always* drifted out to the left, at least since he was with Samp. That’s probably not going to change given how stubborn he is.
2. “Sneijder should be a ball feeder for Milito or Cassano.”
Unlikely, his mentality has been “shoot first” all too often since 2010.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I¡¯ll try to get the hang of it!
stramacionni is briliant and i seriously think conte or alessio was both out of his depth..strama’s understanding of the game and tactical play has been brilliant all along and considering his age and experience is fantastic. Inter must 100% keep this guy. the usage of his players played a part and juventus’ predictiveness is now against them. if juve keep playing like this- we will start losing. I for one was very happy that the better team won the game – that is Inter. I mean they deserved it, brilliant coach, brilliant strategy and the players didn’t sulk..they went on with the game after the referee’s STUPID MISTAKE (AGAIN).. not one serie A game goes about without a silly mistake from the ref – just Roma’s destro was given a 2nd yellow card for nothing- it is profoundly stupid and childish refereeing. Anyway, i think its time Juve think of different ways to play their game – we don’t want to be like barcelona that is easy to predict nor having runners all over the pitch. I mean its all nice and fine to have players commit and marchisio is an exemplary player. And if we had to depend on marchisio, pirlo and vidal for every match for victory then it won’t be long when we lose both scudetto and CL. the problem is not exactly our strikers too, using giovinco, matri, vucinic, quags or benther doesn’t change a thing- they are all very similar – the problem is probably our structure of our game – it’s all too predictable now. Its all too predictive when we impose our game on others in each and every game and we expect our opponents to cower. Today Inter let juve impose their game but they had a brilliant strategy and the players exceptional. Conte should start to use the rest of the squad players more now.
I think you are right.Juve are becoming predictable and depending on Pirlo-Marchisio-Vidal.Conte is a talanted manager and he will work on this issue.
Thanks.. appreciate it, just my humble opinion.
It’s not really true that Pirlo was free without Guarin, Palacio pressed him (obviously he was less effective).
I came accross your blog recently and have been reading it along. The article is very useful, very interesting, hope to share more articles like this.Thank you for your sharing!
Nagatomo was pure class
ZM, I was longing for your analysis of Juve-Inter and to read the commentaries as well. Thanks for the great job!
PS Would you write something about the way of playing of Roma under Zeman rule? Thanks.
Seconded. Would love to see a write-up of the derby.
I am a fan of Roma and Zeman plays something like 2-0-8
. Like really Roma this season play some exceptional attacking football I have never seen. Some kind of analyses will be nice. Last time ZM called Roma shapeless and I am starting to agree with him, but would shapeless mean very fluid?
when the first goal was struck i thought that juve are going to do the same that they did with roma both like to play high line and juve are very good in threading defense and i thought it is going to be same boring .
now let me talk about inter’s tactics people are lauding about stracamoni’s tactics but to be honest in the first half i though they were stupid . cassano was staying wide left and milito was too moving in that zone to help but in doing that they did not had anybody to cross in the box ( just as the game in liverpool and newcastle where sterling and suarez were working left channel and had nobody to cross in the box and captain fantastic england was hopeless all 90 min long except for one time when he thread a good ball for sterling )
. palacio wasnt staying wide left and wasnt having that tactical sense to move in milito’s position . secondly whatever inter was creating it seemed to be passing through cambassio who seemed to be the playmaker and he was too deep and there was a considerable difference between lines and by the time he would move up field the move seemed to end or lost of possession .in the second half i think he made some tactical changes since i could see that milito was staying in the middle and it started giving juve problems .i had said in earlier post that guarin is a quality player and he can turn with ball plus he has that ability to go past players . his introduction plus juve had lost that passing game that they were playing in the first 30 min . they lost that shape which had won them so many shape plus they started to open the game which was a boon for inter and that is why inter could score the second goal and third was a bonus. most importantly i want to talk about inter’s defense
for the first 30 min till vucinic was on the field i think they were very lucky they dont have players who can play that pressing game plus juve had already stretched them by playing deep . most importantly both rannochia and samuel are not good on foot and they lack a considerable pace and you could see they were struggling against guvinco only when zaneti came to help them could tehy contain him. but even in this chaos i was a bit impressed by that young brazilian yuan he was quite decent won almost all his challenges and was quite decent on the ball . i didnt payed that much attention as to who was stopping pirlo or anything as the match started at 1.15am in night and you can atleast excuse me for that .
now about juve’s tactics now there is much said about pirlo’s ball playing abilities but i think other than pirlo vucinic was the most important acquisition they made . this man is good player some one in a berbatov’s mould but a bit faster and a better work rate . he links very well between middle and forward line can even lead line on his own . he can drop deep and bring these midfielders in play and major benefactors of his play had been vidal and marchisio . when he was on the i think juve were creating chances at will they scored in the first min although i thought that it was a bit offside . but he went off and juve’s game seem to collapse guvinco was driving the ball and not passing and i think most of the players were in that mode it was a bit childish game in the second and both the managers were not able to tell their players to pass the ball better or not to spend time on the ball .juve’s game i dont know but it went in air in the second half their was no control of the manager . they lost the shape started opening the game in search of a winner and that backfired .
last but not the least i dont give credit to stracomoni for this win it was juventus who gifted them the win rather than inter earning it. most importantly i was pleased by the free kick routine taken by inter for the first goal . i would write about that later on .
Brilliant stuff, I have been waiting all day to read this
The real question is: NOW WILL PEOPLE LAY OFF ZM FOR HIS “INCREASINGLY SHALLOW ARTICLES”?
Well done ZM for a triumph of an article and some great attention to detail.
NOW WILL PEOPLE LAY OFF ZM FOR HIS “INCREASINGLY SHALLOW ARTICLES”?
Only if he keeps covering EPL for most of the time.
Thank you, Mr. Cox for posting this article after my request. I really appreciate it.
Also, can you tell me which champions league matches you will be covering?
Who writes this stuff?
is so theorethical. It´s like leastening a economic journalist instead of a manager of a great company.
Mourinho is right. There are too many ppeople making money with comments about other jobs and decisions that they have.
it´s so lame and shamefull
Shameful? He’s talking in detail about a game he loves. People are allowed to critisize or praise football – it is not just there to enjoy in silence. Also, Mourinho has offered more then enough of his unwanted opinion on many subjects and rally can’t talk.
good foot licking keep on doing that . elder is correct the way he describes the game is too methodical taking its essence away . he istalking about mouriniho’s opinion on football writers not on other things really you are a one arse dumb.last but not the least it take brain to understand my comments they are not for moron’s like you .
Yes, being insulting and nothing else That makes you sound smart!
By the way, if you like La Liga so much, why haven’t you commented on the article he has written about it? Instead you keep raging in here…
” the way he describes the game is too methodical taking its essence away”
It’s a perfectly fair criticism. You might well be right. But why come?!
it would be better for you if you can put a list of games that you might think you may cover for next week because if people will not comment what is the use of he hard work you do .
I don’t know, I think he can live without some of these lot commenting.
