    Michel Platini Note : 7, 9

    1 Assist (Opta ) Long range Balls ..


    Michel Platini

    created

    numerous opportunities

    for Juventus..

    the Attackers lacked a bit of composure

    and calmness

    to score the more goals on this Match

    to confirm the victory

    for Juventus from Turin !


    Platini , Michel

    What a player at all !


    200x times better than Zidane, Xavi , Beckham , Figo and Iniesta !

    in the first Goal from this Match .. !

    Antonio Careca and Muller

    making it Plays one-Twos so faster and so quickly at all !


    is funny

    that

    Careca tries

    some shorter elasticos ala Roberto Rivellino . !


    Is Interesting to see this yes !

    Claudio Garella...If goalkeeper had been disallowed to use hands, he would be the greatest ever!

    hahaha


    Really ???









    Garella was the Player of the Match against Roma !


    he made great saves against Socrates' Fiorentina also

    honestly

    so

    Claudio Garella

    is having

    a much more +++

    regular and consistent season

    than Diego Maradona

    easily

    in the Game against Juventus

    he took

    a Shoots from Distance

    by Marco Tardelli ... then Michel Platini's Lob !



    honestly .,


    He is going pretty well on this season .... 1984-1985 !

    Inter Mailand

    Walter Zenga


    Notes :

    very safe and very strong personality

    command of the area perfectly


    Note : 7, 0


    Giuseppe Baresi ==



    Giuseppe Bergomi ==



    Fulvio Collovati

    Goal with Header ... and was a great defender ... very very Elegant player

    Riccardo Ferri

    Goal

    Great Jumping Reach and tempo in the Air


    Liam Brady

    great player

    great vision

    very easy to hit the Set-Pieces correctly

    has moments of pure genius

    Note : 8, 0

    Andrea Mandorlini ==



    Giampiero Marini ==



    Antonio Sabato ==



    Alessandro Altobelli

    always very dangerous and aggressive

    playing football

    but at the same time

    he had good technique

    and skill

    Karl-Heinz Rummenigge


    phenomenal player

    at his peak

    very complete

    very fast

    very explosive

    I saw entire games of Rummenigge for Bayern Munich, running race up the entire pitch and with dribbling in speed in 1979, 1980 ..1981 ..1982

    like Ricardo Kaká in Sprint Speed , Acceleration, Pace, finishing skills and dribbles in speed in 2007 for example
    Rummenigge


    could be a right or left winger play-maker

    could be a center forward

    could be an

    attacking midfielder

    could be a 7, 11, 10 and 9

    at the same time

    very versatile indeed

    Note : 8, 8










    Juventus Turin

    Stefano Tacconi ==



    Antonio Cabrini ==



    Luciano Favero ==



    Gaetano Scirea



    Massimo Bonini



    Michel Platini

    was Juventus' best player in this match

    at least

    he tried to create some more+++++ dangerous plays

    But.. this match

    was a complete tragedy

    for Juventus..from Turin

    so

    it's difficult

    to play alone

    against a very inspired Inter team and very very hungry for goals all the time .



    Michel Platini Note : 4, 9

    Diego Armando Maradona Note : 6, 0


    1 indirect Assist (Non-Opta ) Free-Kick taking




    later ... Red Card !


    again and again

    So far,

    Maradona

    is doing or is going very very badly

    in the Italian championship Serie A 1984-1985 season

    living

    on some flashes of genius...and creativity

    but he lacks much more consistency

    very disappointing so far til here !

    Michel Platini played better in the first half from this Match ;;


    1 Goal indirect Free-Kick taking ...
    and Shoots from Distance was a nice Goal yes ,


    later

    Platini came out with one zig zag Of dribbles ...


    kicked out with swerve ..

    Lack abit of accuracy on this Shot

    then in the second half of the Match the higher level shown in the first half decreased a lot


    so many many Shots Off the Target

    so Shots on Target ratio wasn't that good on this Match by Michel Platini's great performances


    Juventus is going through a bad phase

    extremely

    irregular

    at the beginning of this Italian championship 1984/1985 season Serie A Calcio

    Michel Platini Note 6, 0

    organize the game with that much wise mind

    leadership

    vision


    LOng Range Balls
