Huge matchup today agaisnt Juve aka the only good team in Italian football. No Gatian, Salvio or Fejsa for Benfica. No Vidal for Juventus. A home win would be huge but even a scoreless draw isn't the end of the world. Need to attack Pirlo and overwhelm him with speed. Not sure if possible with limited wingers available.
Artur; Maxi, Luisao, Garay, Siqueira; Markovic, Enzo, Andre Gomes; Rodrigo, Cardozo, Sulejmani 4-3-3 Is playing Oblak too much to ask?!?
Holding out hope for Gaitan. Salvio is done, unsure about Fejsa. And Oblak > Artur. I will admit that Artur played a hell of a game last Thursday
Juve are petitioning Uefa to suspend Enzo for a leg sweep of Chiellini. To reiterate: Juve is going to Uefa (Platini) to suspend Benfica's best player, and the verdict comes out tomorrow aka 24 hours before game day. They're scared. They're trying dirty tactics. They're being Juventus, for lack of a better term. I hope Benfica crushes them
Dude. I hate Juve with every fibre of my being. For the record, I'd like to see you guys go all the way. But juve merda are not over rated at all. They have players for two solid teams and they will be a bitch to play at home. Be ready.
Juventus living up to their reputation. Now I want us the ******** them over even more side and side with Platini. Even without Perez! Papa lamber minha bunda.
Artur is fine this Artur vs Oblak thing is over exaggerated, both are good, some like one some the other and this only came about by JJ opting to rotate else there would be no discussion. Does not matter either one! For now.
I can only give my honest opinion, and I just think they are overrated. The two teams in Italy I would say are underrated are you guys and Roma btw. Juve to me is on par with a team like Arsenal. Good, but they are not one of the top clubs like a lot of people make them out to be.
Italian sides have been so so for almost 20 years now. I don't fear any Italian side. And I wish them all the pain they have given us! NO MERCY! Right now, don't fear anyone as we can Chelsea RM, Barca are average, Bayern, Gua in his vanity tried to make his own and FAILED! Chelsea we owe them big, lose in the final for 50 years!
I don't know about average. I'm telling you...don't underestimate...whether it be their team or their ability to ahem, get the result. I do agree with going no fear--play it out as I'm sure Benfica will--they will be great!
Juve's midfield is the real deal. Vidal and Pogba are superstars. And their goalie is an all time great who can steal a game on his own. I think it's a down period for Italian football, but this juventus team is very good. Saying that, Benfica has been a top 5 team in Europe since the turn of the year. It'll be fun
He's never been about speed. It's more his passing and god forbid if he gets a free kick, he's lethal.
