Nice strike. Bradley wasn't really involved except he hustled to get back into an on-side position after his near post run.
and now the Chievo players start falling down. ok, on replay the Napoli guy did leave the foot on his hip...
if Napoli 18 is isolated 1v1 w/ Bradley, he's going to beat him for speed. Bradley/Chievo lucky he didn't score there. he beat Bradley to get the shot off.
Zuniga just got the better of Bradley and shot wide. That should have been worse due to the strange defensive spacing for Chievo, but Zuniga was wasteful.
Bradley beaten by that winger again and lucky not to give up something on target. I don't know why he keeps ending up isolated out there, but it's not a good spot for him defensively. Also, I notice that Chievo plays too vertically. A square ball here and there might open things up... ...just as I type that Bradley gets stranded with the ball, has it stripped, and his teammate has to bail them out with a prof foul.
It's interesting that in everything BUT football all Italians care about is la bella figura. In football the result is all that matters. By any means necessary.
didn't wrap him up very well so the guy was almost able to slip away. can't just arm tackle in the league.
Nice. Hopefully the first of many. From the thread it sounds like a bad game, but did Mikey look solid? Weird that he was defending quick guys on the wings... what position is he playing and in what formation?
