At home. Nothing to lose. Need the points (3). Out to prove themselves. Bring it on!! Projected lineups: (courtesy FCBAYERN.DE) [NOTE: Hargreaves-Sagnol-Frings are interchangable] ......................KAHN GOLITZ.....LUCIO....KOVAC...SALIHAMIDZIC ................HARGREAVES SAGNOL..............................FRINGS ...................BALLACK ........PIZARRO...........MAKAAY ----------------------------------------- .....DEL PIERO................IBRAHIMOVIC .....................EMERSON NEDVED.............................CAMORANESI .......................BLASI PESSOTTO...CANNAVARO..FERRARA..THURAM ......................BUFFON Referee: Graham Poll (England)
Ok here is my problem, Gorlitz shouldn't be playing against Juventus. Put Sagnol as the right fulback and Schweinie on the right wing. Now you've got a line up. Good move starting Kovac instead of Linke. This match will be anything but easy.
Where's kufour? He should be the 1st choice alongside with Lucio in the central defence. and yes Schweinie is much better than sagnol on the midfield, he can run right to left and vice versa which help us to create more chances. We need his versatility in such a big match. Hershermian hasn't proved himself, so we can't afford to take the risk at this level.
The official line up is here ......................KAHN SAGNOL.....LUCIO....KOVAC...SALIHAMIDZIC ........................HARGREAVES SCHWEINSTEIGER..............................FRINGS .........................BALLACK ........PIZARRO...........MAKAAY .....DEL PIERO................IBRAHIMOVIC .....................EMERSON NEDVED.............................CAMOR ANESI ..........................BLASI ZAMBROTTA...CANNAVARO..THURAM.....PESSOTTO ......................BUFFON
Damn, Sir Manchester!! You are the manager today... your lineup is SPOT ON. See above. Well done mate. This is a good attacking lineup with Hargreaves to cover ground in the middle and Schweinsteiger to show his stuff. Gorlitz can come on in the second half, as well as Scholl if need be.
live comment in each 10 min 10' Schweinsteiger (Bayern) commits a foul after challenging Thuram (Juventus). 8' Lucio (Bayern) fouls. 7' Makaay (Bayern) is flagged for offside. 5' Emerson (Juventus) gives away a free-kick following a challenge on Salihamidzic (Bayern). 3' Again Ibrahimovic bites at Kovac's ankles and the huge home crowd gasps as it looks like he may have stolen possession. But the 30-year-old regains his balance and takes the ball back off the big attacker. 3' Blasi (Juventus) commits a foul after challenging Sagnol (Bayern). A poor challenge puts Juve under pressure as Bayern line up a free-kick to the left side of the visitors' area. 3' Schweinsteiger (Bayern) misses the target. The young midfield player conects with Owen Hargreaves' low centre but cannot get his effort on target. 1' Ibrahimovic (Juventus) misses the target. The Swedish striker meets the centre, but his header bounces wide. 1' Camoranesi (Juventus) takes the corner. 1' Juve kick-off and within seconds a speculative ball along the ground allows Zlatan Ibrahimovic the chance to put Robert Kovac under pressure and win an early corner.
Damned!!!!!!!!!! In germany we can`t see this game!!! the german televison can send only one CL game. Yesterday was it werder.--
LISTEN TO ENGLISH COMMENTARY: (Bayern- Juventus) mms://a666.l1280637955.c12806.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/666/12806/v0001/reflector:37955
18' Nedved (Juventus) commits a foul after challenging Frings (Bayern). 17' Oliver Kahn's first job is to prevent Kovac's clumsy deflection from passing him at the near post. >>> Kovac did it many times, sometimes he did somthing really stupid 17' Kahn (Bayern) makes a save. 17' Camoranesi (Juventus) delivers the corner. 16' After a calm opening ten minutes, Bayern have really turned up the pressure, with English midfielder Hargreaves looking especially lively down the right. This is easily the sternest test the visitors' defence will have faced in this Champions League campaign so far. 15' Buffon (Juventus) makes a save. 15' Pizarro (Bayern) has an effort on goal. Fabulous work on the right side of Juve's box. The Peruvian striker steps inside Lilian Thuram's half-hearted challenge and tries to tuck it past Buffon from a tight angle. But the goalkeeper saves well to his left. 14' Camoranesi (Juventus) fouls. 13' Frings (Bayern) gives away a free-kick following a challenge on Thuram (Juventus). 13' Makaay (Bayern) is flagged for offside. 12' Schweinsteiger (Bayern) hits the crossbar. A fabulous strike by the 20-year-old comes down off the bar but only hits the line. Gianluigi Buffon recovers just in time to get a fist on the loose ball as Roy Makaay tries to head home the rebound, but when the ball is finally propelled towards the goal, the referee's assistant flags - correctly - for offside. 11' Frings (Bayern) misses the target. The blonde midfield player cannot keep his 20-metre strike down after Hargreaves darts past Gianluca Zambrotta on Bayern's right.
I am actually listening to the the english web radio off of the Bayern site. Actually I am off now as I am now at the reference desk (Ich bin bibliotheker)--so now I am using the match tracker off of UEFA.com
25' Hargreaves (Bayern) delivers the corner. 24' Pessotto (Juventus) gives away a free-kick following a challenge on Schweinsteiger (Bayern). 22' A first real sighting of Alessandro Del Piero, who missed training for tonight's game with a high temperature, as the Juve captain drops deep, but he cannot escape the close attention of Frings. 21' Ibrahimovic (Juventus) is adjudged to be in an offside position. 21' Pizarro (Bayern) misses the target. Completely unmarked from Frings's corner, the striker still cannot open his Champions League account as hea heads tamely over. 20' Frings (Bayern) takes the corner. Out on the left, Frings only has Makaay to hit with his cross, but his centre is so accurate it forces Fabio Cannavaro to head behind. 18' Nedved (Juventus) commits a foul after challenging Frings (Bayern). 17' Oliver Kahn's first job is to prevent Kovac's clumsy deflection from passing him at the near post. 17' Kahn (Bayern) makes a save.
The irony is that the radio announcer said this game is being televised on 35-38 stations world wide. douh!
Sounds like Schweinsteiger is having an amazing match, and Bayern will be rueing all of their missed chances from this half.
but not in the television! I see now "der bulle von tölz" - "the cop from toelz" .... bääähhhh but i have the live-ticker...
