Socrates

Ecco perché ce lo hanno messo stasera ....

Complimenti Eriksson, entrata spaccagambe.

Marchisio non era in fuorigioco.

Proenca non ha visto quello che ha visto Padoin.

Grande Chiello!

Pogba doveva restare a terra dopo il fallo.

Porca miseria.

Certo! Magari resta cosí. Se noi vincessimo sarebbe anche meglio.

Perché il campo é pesante e giocare palla a terra é piú difficile.

Avranno bevuto il caffé di Herrera anche gli svedesi?

Fischi di paura degli svedesi.

Piccinini imita Mamozio .... Rosenbérg.

Contropiede micidiale, si salva il Malmö.

Peró é un peccato che le partite decisive ce le giochiamo sempre su campi disastrati.

Nervosismo da paura per gli svedesi.

Atletico in vantaggio!

Per ora é la Juve di coppa anche stasera.

Ma giochiamo in champions league?

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Tevez: We must recreate league form Nov 25, 2014 Juventus striker Carlos Tevez has urged his team-mates to recreate their Serie A form in the crunch Champions League clash at Malmo FF on Wednesday. The Turin giants travel to Sweden in search of their first away triumph after defeats at Atletico Madrid and at Olympiacos in Group A. Those setbacks dropped Juve to third place, level on six points with Olympiacos, who are second on goal difference. Atletico are three points clear at the top of the pool with two games remaining. Juve's league form has been significantly better, with the Italian champions three points clear at the top of Serie A after Saturday's 3-0 triumph at Lazio - their 10th league win in 12 games. "Our full focus is on the game at Malmo," Tevez said to Turin based newspaper Tuttosport. "On Wednesday we must play with the same determination that we displayed against Parma and Lazio. "If we played like we did, then it will be difficult to stop us. "We are playing good football and we have tactically found a balance." Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri knows that failure to win on Wednesday could prove costly for his side. The Turin club end the group stages at home to Atletico on December 9. "We need to get six points in our last two league games," he said. "Four may be enough, or even three, but who knows? "Olympiacos are ahead of us in the head-to-head, but they have to get six points to qualify mathematically, so everything is still wide open. "We'll know what we've got to do after the game against Malmo." Malmo, who lost 2-0 in Turin in their group opener, host the Italians needing a win to revive their hopes of playing European football after the new year. The Swedish champions lie at the foot of the standings, with one win from four games. A victory over Juve coupled with an Atletico Madrid win over Olympiacos in the other pool game, would see Malmo join the Italians and the Greeks on six points heading into the final round of games. "We have every possibility to take a positive result," Malmo defender Anton Tinnerholm said to the Italian media. "We want to go into the final group game still alive to continue to play in Europe. "We will try to make life difficult for Juventus. "I don't think they know what kind of atmosphere awaits them at the SwedBank Stadion." The Blues warmed up for the European encounter with last week's 4-0 triumph in a friendly against Finnish champions HJK Helsinki. Malmo coach Age Hareide will have all of his players available. The visitors welcome back defender Patrice Evra from injury while they are without midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah, who is sidelined with a thigh problem. Arturo Vidal is set to start and play in support of attacking pair Fernando Llorente and Tevez. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Juve call up Evra, Ogbonna Nov 25, 2014 Juventus are able to include Patrice Evra and Angelo Ogbonna in their squad to play Malmo, but not Kwadwo Asamoah. The Bianconeri had doubts over the trio heading into this midweek’s Champions League trip to Sweden, but are able to include two of them in the squad. Ogbonna trained separate to his teammates today, as he is seen as targeting a full recovery in time for the weekend, whilst Evra is back working with the group and is seen as in line for a starting berth at left-back. That is in part down to Kwadwo Asamoah’s continued absence from the training field with an inflamed knee. Juventus squad to face Malmo: 1 Buffon, 2 Romulo, 3 Chiellini, 5 Ogbonna, 6 Pogba, 7 Pepe, 8 Marchisio, 9 Morata, 10 Tevez, 11 Coman, 12 Giovinco, 14 Llorente, 19 Bonucci, 20 Padoin, 21 Pirlo, 23 Vidal, 26 Lichtsteiner, 30 Storari, 33 Evra, 34 Rubinho, 37 Pereyra, 38 Mattiello http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Eriksson: ‘Different to Turin’ Nov 25, 2014 Magnus Eriksson believes that Malmo will be more confident in taking on Juventus in the Champions League at home. The two teams will meet tomorrow evening at the Swedbank Stadion in the fifth matchday of the group stage. Despite Juve having won the first game between the two 2-0 in Turin, Malmo’s striker has issued the Italians a warning. “It will be completely different to the game in Turin,” Eriksson told reporters at today’s conference. “Here we have our fans and tomorrow night they will understand what that signifies. We are very confident, in our own stadium we feel stronger and Juventus do not scare us.” The Swedes haven’t played competitively since the end of their domestic season at the start of November. “Juventus could have better rhythm in their play than us, but we are prepared and there has also been an international break. No, we are not worried. “I think that we will have more possession [against Juventus] and then we have to play the ball well. “Hopefully Juventus underestimate us a bit and then we really can shake them.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Hareide: ‘No fear against Juve’ Nov 25, 2014 Age Hareide says that Malmo will face Juventus tomorrow evening without fear and confident of being able to achieve a result. The Swedes sit bottom of Group A in the Champions League but host the Bianconeri with an outside chance of continuing their European season still intact. Despite having lost the reverse fixture 2-0 in Turin, their Coach holds optimism heading into tomorrow’s contest. “It will certainly not be the same game as before,” Hareide has told reporters today. “Tomorrow we will have the fans on our side, who will support us from the first minute to the last. “With them we are much stronger and I am convinced that we can aim to achieve an important result. “We will not have fear in facing Juventus. Against them we will play as we know how to without making special arrangements for Tevez, much less any of the other players. “If we study to mark each of their stars, we would end up completely distorting our own game. We are at home and proud of it. We will play as we know how to. “We know it will be a particularly difficult game, we both want to continue our journey in the Champions League. “We have had several days to prepare for this challenge and I think that the boys will give it their best effort.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Malmo vs. Juventus: How the Old Lady Should Line Up in Champions League Game Nov 25, 2014 Having dispatched Parma comprehensively before the international break, Juventus returned to action this past weekend hoping to continue their rich vein of form. They would do just that, cruising to a comfortable 3-0 win over Lazio in Rome’s Stadio Olimpico and maintaining their three-point lead atop the Serie A standings. The match—reviewed here—would once again show Massimiliano Allegri was right to abandon the 3-5-2 formation implemented by Antonio Conte. Having scored twice on Saturday, Paul Pogba expressed his happiness with the tactical switch in an interview with La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. “We attack with more men and we also counter-attack,” the midfielder said (h/t Football Italia). “We midfielders play behind the forwards, and it is also helpful for the guys up front.” The new shape has clearly won over the Frenchman, who also told Italy’s famous pink paper he believes the team “is better overall” than last season. However, as attention turned to European action, Pogba also offered a note of caution, discussing the importance of the upcoming meeting with Malmo. “We must return from Sweden with three points,” he urged, and winning the game is essential if the Bianconeri are to progress to the knockout stage. With just two matches remaining, the Turin giants will hope to take a major step towards qualification on Wednesday. On the following pages is a look at how Juventus are expected to line up, once again deployed in Allegri’s 4-3-2-1 framework. Goalkeeper Once again, Gigi Buffon is certain to start between the posts for Juventus, with the club captain seeking to continue his own excellent form. While he may have been at fault for Italy against Croatia, the 36-year-old has been superb for the Bianconeri, keeping 11 clean sheets in his 16 appearances this term. According to statistics from ESPN, Buffon has made 21 saves in Serie A and eight in the Champions League, playing a key role in that impressive defensive record. Defence Ahead of Buffon, Allegri will retain his new-look back four, with the three-man defence seemingly shelved permanently. As discussed here, that is a huge positive for the side, with results and performances improving dramatically since that switch was made. The only issue at present is at left-back, with both Kwadwo Asamoah and Patrice Evra struggling to recover from injury. According to a report on the club’s official website, the latter returned to training on Sunday and could return to the lineup against Malmo. Should he fail to do so, Simone Padoin is likely to continue in the role, despite his red card against Lazio this past weekend. The midfielder has impressed in recent matches as he has deputised in defence, proving to be a reliable member of the side. Stephan Lichtsteiner will be at right-back, with Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini to continue their partnership in the centre. Midfield While the injury problems continue in defence, Allegri will be happy to see his first-choice players return to action in midfield. Andrea Pirlo made a successful comeback against Lazio, once again turning in an assured performance in Juve’s 3-0 victory. Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba remain vital members of the side, while Arturo Vidal continues his own quest for form. The Chilean has been subpar in 2014-15, but the Champions League has often brought his best displays, a matter discussed in detail here. Roberto Pereyra can consider himself unfortunate to miss out, his recent contribution has been vital to the excellent form enjoyed by the Bianconeri. Attack Fernando Llorente returned to the starting lineup against Parma and Lazio, proving to be an excellent focal point as Pogba and Carlos Tevez joined the attack from deeper roles. That is expected to continue against Malmo, despite the impressive displays of Alvaro Morata recently. The young Spaniard provides a directness and an injection of pace that the Tevez-Llorente partnership can often lack, and he can expect to be introduced as the Swedish side tire late in the game. Expected starting XI (4-3-2-1): Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini; Padoin; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pogba, Tevez; Llorente http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166

MALMÖ FF - JUVENTUS - Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 - 8:45 PM Swedbank Stadion, Malmö Referee:‬ Pedro Proença (Portugal) Juve out to end away hoodoo A revitalised Juventus know victory is a must as they visit Malmo. Luca Cetta charts their recent evolution and how it must be brought to the European stage. Nov 25, 2014 First experimented with in the summer, in recent weeks Massimiliano Allegri has been able to implement a four-man defence and Christmas tree formation to good effect. Since then Juventus have enjoyed an important win over Olympiacos and thrashed Parma, but coming back from the international break to face Lazio would be a stern test. Allegri called the matches following the October break “our worst showings this season” and did not want a repeat in the capital. The tactician got his wish as Juve dominated. “The team did well, defended when necessary and I think we played fairly well with some good passing moves.” The change has breathed fresh life and with three wins since, scoring 13 and conceding just twice in the process, Juve are poised to hit another gear. Director Pavel Nedved ‘enjoyed the show’ in Rome and was full of praise on Monday: “This change in tactical approach represents an intelligent evolution and it is true that Juventus is becoming stronger thanks to this new style of game that he has adopted.” For Paul Pogba it’s a stronger Juve than last year. They: “attack with more men and also counter-attack. We midfielders play behind the forwards, and it is also helpful for the guys up front.” Allegri is helped by a cavalcade of performing individuals that will offer selection headaches ahead of the Champions League contest versus Malmo. By his own admission Carlos Tevez is in “the best form of my career” and sits atop the scorers chart with nine goals. His Spanish strike partners Fernando Llorente and Alvaro Morata are scoring with greater regularity too. Pogba was vital against Olympiacos and supreme on Saturday, while Andrea Pirlo has shaken off the cobwebs to pull the strings as only he can. Meanwhile, Roberto Pereyra has dismissed summer scepticism to make a good impression and was one of those singled out for praise by the boss on Saturday. Juve’s aim is to now convert dominant Serie A performances to the European stage. La Stampa today focused on the ‘dichotomy’ between their domestic and continental form and urged to play ‘without limits’. Their away form in the competition has been dire since defeating Celtic in February 2013. The Turin giants have since failed to beat Bayern Munich, Copenhagen, Real Madrid, Galatasaray, Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos. Too often were the performances tepid and dull. Instead they will aim to apply the spirit and mentality exhibited on Matchday 4 on Swedish soil, where they say only one outcome will do. “We begin again to defeat to Malmo,” Pogba stated this week. “We have no alternative. We must return from Sweden with three points.” Nedved has echoed these sentiments. The stirring win over the Greeks was a boost for confidence and showed the direction this Juve must head, but they weren’t infallible. While dangerous going forward, the Bianconeri were susceptible defending set pieces – the origin of both Olympiacos goals. Were it not for an immediate response their situation would be fragile. As it is Group A is delicately poised - Juventus could be eliminated if they falter again. Conversely, first place is up for grabs with two wins. Allegri had previously criticised his team for wasting opportunities, but they were composed in front of goal against both Parma and Lazio and must follow through. In downing Malmo in September Tevez ended his Champions League goal drought, but has not added to his tally. He’ll be chomping at the bit to continue his purple patch. At the other end concentration is essential. Juve don’t concede many chances – only four teams have allowed less – but have kept just one clean sheet and conceded soft goals. In a close group Juventus cannot afford a repeat and maintaining attacking pressure is a focus for Allegri to succeed: “The team works together and the more the forwards do, the easier it is for the defenders. You have to keep the ball as far away from your own box as possible and you do that by attacking.” Currently third, a win will put Juve in a good position to qualify. With memories of last season’s failure fresh, they know they cannot crash again. But this is a team finding its groove and now it’s time to put in a dominant European display. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/49/uefa-champions-league/group?ICID=MP_TN_166
