The Demon of Carthage wrote:The last thing I want to do is offend the incredible fans of the great Juventus on GL. I think your team has done enough to earn, not just your respect, but the respect of every football fan around the globe. You rose from the ashes to become a European heavyweight, if that's not admirable, I don't know what is...

However, I strongly, and I truly mean strongly, disagree with the way you've handled your team's defeat. I thought you'd be seething with anger over it, instead I was welcomed with an alarming and discouraging acceptance of a fate that doesn't rhyme with Juventus' strength and ambitions.

You're proud of your team, which is understandable. You're not sore losers, which is admirable. But your pride should be standing shoulder to shoulder with restless anger and soul-crushing disappointment.

I would understand your reaction if Bayern was unplayable. I would understand your reaction if you were inferior or unlucky. I would understand your reaction if your gameplan was flawless, your subs made sense and there was absolutely nothing to improve on. But nothing of the sort was even remotely close to reality last night.

You should be angry because the victory was flirting at your doorsteps. And had you stuck to your original gameplan, you would've won the tie. Bayern didn't win last night because they found Jesus in the second half, they won because you let them. You stopped the pressing, made a mess with your subs, and retreated to your own box. Bayern couldn't believe it. They were given a silver lining. They were given time, space and hope. It was just a matter of time before you conceded. That was a colossal tactical blunder.

Yes, you should be proud of your team. But you should also be disappointed you lost to a slightly inferior team.

And let me repeat it again, the last thing I want to do is offend the great family of Juventus. But dammit, every time I see a world class team parking the bus, something dies inside me. I know the feeling, cause we were at some point coached by a man named Rafa.

You should be proud of yourselves, for everything you've accomplished. But you should be disappointed and angry even more. You deserved to lose last night - not because your opponent was better, but because you had done everything right up until the moment you were preparing yourselves to put the last nail on Bayern's coffin...but instead you put it on yours.

if you have players with personalities like MATERRAZI, I think that would be really good because dirtiness has proved to be effective so many times

SUAREZ, HENRY, MARADONA, MATERRAZI, so many scandals there have lead the team to win important tournaments but on this case we have a DISADVANTAGE because I don't really feel like we have dirty players

players like MORATA, DYBALA, POGBA, MARCHISIO, KHEDIRA, for some reasons I feel that these guys would never touch the ball with their hands and I think its a disadvantage, I myself wouldn't mind to score a hand-ball, its football who cares? and I want to win it,
I think our players should also learn the dirty side of football otherwise we need some DIRTY EXPERTS on our team

After watching your coppa game last night I felt the need to bump this and conclude that you sure seem to have racked up the DIRTY EXPERTISE

Mandzukic, such a dirty pos, provoking non stop, the whole team diving and playacting, Pjanic is one dirty *bleep* too.

Crowding the red, trying to get opponents sent off, what I saw was a through and through ugly team.

With Mandzukic the Croatian proto-fascist and Pjanic the Bosnian it's a miracle they aren't at each other throat, too
