- | UEFA Europa League | -

Well, I hope that acts as a signal for Conte to switch to 4-3-3, cuz Benfica is the strongest team. If we win Benfica I think that we will win the Europa League.

We gotta win this against benfica. We just gotta score goals and keep a clean sheet. Its not impossible. Forza Juve.

IN CONTE WE TRUST

Giorgio Chiellini confessed to Juventus regrets, but complimented Benfica on their defensive display.

“There are regrets, as over two legs they had two shots on goal and went through. We created so much and didn’t qualify,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

The first leg was 2-1 in Lisbon and the Eagles held on to it for a 0-0 in Turin this evening.

“Benfica reach the Final, but to be honest I feel that we deserved it more. We could’ve made more of the last 10 minutes, but deserved to be ahead long before then.

“You pay for incidents and we weren’t sharp enough going forward or defending. In the end, the result in Lisbon proved decisive.

“They had great character to sit behind the ball for 90 minutes and block everything off, so we have to compliment Benfica on their performance.

“However, with all due respect, we should be in the Final.”

Nope, thats not correct, we didn't deserve it. We were so lucky reaching the semifinals even. We struggled in every single match to reach here. Benfica won most of their matches with a 3 or 4 goal margins. We got past Viola luckily with a freekick from pirlo. We clearly need to work harder...

We did deserve it, it doesn't matter what happened before. But I really think we need the 4-3-3 for the UCL next year, we lost to Madrid, who are potential winners 2-1, with an arguable red card to Chiellini that could've changed the game. We also tied them the next game 2-2 and we dominated, we just need a good RW like I've been saying for a while ( you should know lol ) and a good LB too. Maybe add on some depth players also if we can.

We struggle in 90% of our games nowadays, but in the league our quality is 15 times that of the opposition

We grind 90% of our games, our system is failing but thankfully we're head & shoulders above others in the league and some individual brilliance often puts us ahead.

conte is a poor mans roberto mancini.

You guys need to seriously relax, I get that you're mad, but let's hope he plays the 4-3-3 and does good with it next year, if not, that's when you talk about sacking him, I just hope we do very good next year with a 4-3-3.

@Gigi who said we will deploy a 433 next year even...

Well we are after wingers and left backs, I think Conte wants to use it but still have the option of a 3-5-2.

Even though we are after them, u know that conte is stubborn...

We had Krasic and Elia who were good,also we had a excellent attacking midfielder Diego.  

I thought Diego left before Conte came back, but I'm not sure. Also, Krasic and Elia aren't good enough, they both had their chances in a 4-3-3 with Conte, but they didn't work. Just look what they're doing now. Don't get me wrong though, I think Krasic was doing very well before that time.

Yeah people sometimes moan that Conte froze out Krasic and Elia

But neither have gone on to prove him wrong, have they? Both disappeared. Especially Krasic who flopped in turkey and now plies his trade for a lowly french team.

Diego I almost cried when he left. Stupid management... they put the blame on Diego foe the unsuccessful se
Season

Yeah they may have failed to prove him wrong anyway they needed a second chance,Krasic first season was really good and Elia was one of the most talented wingers at the time,he never got a real chance to prove his talent...it's not that we are going to get Bale or Robben now...they were good and even proved their quality (Krasic) while playing for us...I'm afffraid we may end up with the likes of Biabiany or Candreva   

Diego is another story,it was a really poor time for our transfers,we got him and Felipe Melo both 20+mln and we all know what happened...

I really wished that we could bring back melo after his loan deal. He really would have been a better back up than pazzienza and padoin now... lol

Can't believe we sold him for 3 or 5 mln (don't remember well) I think his big wage was a problem for a deal,also he preferred to be a starter at Galata than warm our bench.

Congrats Sevilla. Fuk Benfica.

Looks like Rackic's last final with them.

Benfica's curse in Europe continues... 7th final since 1963 0 wins.
