Re: Bayern Munich vs Juventus

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:35 pm

I see no underdog, if you follow Conte he loves to sell us short to keep the players grounded.

Literally, any big game he will come out and say we're not favourites. He was selling Celtic as something approaching favourites for both legs Laughing

Jupp Heynckes coached Real Madrid that defeated Juventus in 1998 Champions League final. Antonio Conte played for Juventus.

Matthias Sammer defeated Juventus back in his Dortmund days

Alaba would act sort of as a Box to box Leftback, Pirlo as a Deep lying Attacking midfielder. Licht would be a wing to wing Wing back.

Javi? He is a box to box playmaker so he would be our Boxista.

Marchisio would be a box to box #10 while Mueller a wide false 9 and Gomez the creative poacher.

Arq you beauty :bow:

by VivaStPauli Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:54 pm

Two pages long discussion about the combined XI right here in this thread, mate, all you need ot do is read it.

Best match up of the Quarters by far. Very hard to call. Wonder who the bookies make favourites to progress. hmm

*goes to paddy power to check.*

by TheRedStag Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:59 am

To qualify for next round...

Bayern 8/15

Juve 11/8

Must admit thought it would be closer than that! Value to be had with Juve imo.

And the draw in the first leg seems very tempting @ 11/4

by VivaStPauli Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:08 am

Uh now I feel like putting a tenner or twenty down on Juve, so I'll have something to cheer me up if Bayern actually do lose. That's some sweet value.

Interestingly enough I checked the odds for outright winner pre draw and Juve for 12's. Still 12's after drawing Bayern which is kinda odd really.

If you wanna soften the blow you might need to put on more than 20 quid though.....

by VivaStPauli Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:43 am

I probably won't anyway, I'm not a huge betting man. I only bet if I got a really strong hunch how a match is gonna play out. Like that 2-2 by Dortmund in Donezk, I put 10 quid on that exact score line, got 130 out of it. That was sweet. But it also made me feel really annoyed that I didn't bet like a 100, even though I could've just as easily lost it all. Which is why I don't bet often, and never more than a twenty.

Lol feeling is mutual we would have loved to avoid Bayern and Bayern wanted to avoid us but hey we wanted the best this year let's play with them.

1-2 in Munich
1-1 In Torino

Very Happy

close game , it can go either way . I like Juve to win and complete Lazio job by eliminating two German sides

i would have said my sides and laugh but Kozak is a ladder and Lazio is playing really compact at the back and counter , haven't seem the goals but take an intelligence guess and say most of them were headers , he kinda reminds me of solskjaer in Man United .

They weren't that solid defensively, conceded 3 not-that-controversial penalties against BMG, and Stuttgart had more, and better, chances in both legs of the tie, they just can't finish for shit, being Stuttgart and all.

The goals were clinically taken, though.

There were 2 penalties conceded as one of them was a save by Marchetti, as the other one was scored through a 30 yard FK.

2 of 3 of the pens were very soft through some questionable calls along with Gladbach's players diving all over the place. The FK conceded was also came from a clear dive. 2nd leg was a blowout.

Stuttgart thankfully put up a better challenge yet both sides had their fair share of chances that should have been buried.

I think that win bayern munich because he have more experience of juventus,he's for more years in champions at high levels

Juventus 2-0 Bayern in Turin.

Thats how we will cruise to the Semis. Yes, home and away victories with no goals conceded

You can now start thinking I am delusional, but in the end you will all hail me

This is my take on this tie. I posted this in our section, and I am repeating it here for the whole of GL to have a glimpse of what is to come :coffee:

by BAYERN_MUNICH Sat Mar 16, 2013 6:14 pm

At least we are not favorites in this match

by CBarca Sat Mar 16, 2013 6:16 pm

I think this will be an amazing series. I see Bayern going through.

In my eyes you guys are the favorites

I predict penalties as the two best goal keepers are on the field it is only natural that i expect two 0-0 games....Bayern to clinch it because Juve aside from Pirlo their are no other players i can consider sure of himself as a penalty taker(maybe vucinic).

Whoever wins this tie is going to reach the Champions League final.You can bet on it.

And Bayern ?

Kroos was scared to take pens against Chelsea after he missed his against Madrid.We know Robben's record when it comes to PK's etc.To be honest there are a lot of chokers in the team specifically when it comes to spot kicks.
