Rinviata a domani ... e se nevica anche domani?

In Italiano, penso.

Oppure lo scriviamo sulle porte dei cessi sull'autostrada.

La sospensione potrebbe danneggiare la concentrazione dei turchi per cui conta solo la vittoria.

Partita sospesa?

Mezzora e non é successo niente.

Pericoloso il Chiello.

Pallone arancione in campo.

Che tempo di m*rda.

Ma che ride Gigi?

Llorente vicino allo 0-1

Bel duello Vidal-Felipe Melo

Cross un pelo troppo alto per la testa di Drogba.

Ottimo Felipe!

Llorente un pó impreciso finora.

Per chi ha paura del Galatasaray non dimentichiamo che il Real qui ha vinto 6-1.

Siediti su di un vaso da notte durante la partita.

Il pubblico non segna goal (Gianluigi Buffon).

I turchi sono ancora in corsa perché glielo abbiamo concesso noi con i tanti pareggi in CL. Ma stasera si fa sul serio! Ciuffo-gay sei avvertito tu e li turchi!

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS December 10, 2013 - 8:45 PM Türk Telekom Arena — Istanbul Referee: Pedro Proença (Portugal) Line-ups: Galatasaray-Juventus Dec 10, 2013 Juventus need at least a point in Istanbul against Galatasaray to stay in the Champions League, so count on Arturo Vidal against Wesley Sneijder. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off at 20.45 CET and will decide the team that goes through along with Real Madrid in Group B. Light snow is expected over the Ali Sami Yen Spoor Kompleksi. The Bianconeri have stuttered in Europe so far this season, earning just one victory, and were held to a 2-2 draw by Galatasaray on Roberto Mancini’s debut in Turin. The Italian Coach had taken over from sacked Fatih Terim only two days beforehand. http://markting10.nl/ He can count on Didier Drogba and Fernando Muslera, who is back after breaking his toe over a month ago. Ex-Inter midfielder Wesley Sneijder has been out of action for six weeks with a thigh strain, but is thrown straight into the starting XI. Gokhan Zan is introduced to the defence as the player who will challenge Fernando Llorente in the air. http://markting10.nl/ Juve must do without the injured Andrea Pirlo, while Mirko Vucinic is still not 100 per cent fit due to a recurring knee problem. Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente start in attack, supported by Arturo Vidal, Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio. The Bianconeri are unstoppable in Serie A at the moment, notching up seven straight victories without conceding a goal. http://markting10.nl/ Juve’s record in Istanbul is not reassuring, as they have managed a 1-1 draw in December 1998 and lost 2-0 in December 2003. The only Italian club to beat Galatasaray on home turf was Milan with a 3-1 result back in 1963, followed by three draws and six defeats. http://markting10.nl/ GALATASARAY: Muslera; Chedjou, Semih Kaya, Gokhan Zan, Eboue, Felipe Melo, Sneijder, Selcuk Inan, Riera; Drogba, Burak Yilmaz Galatasaray bench: Ufuk Ceylan, Nounkeu, Ceyhun Gulselam, Bruma, Yekta Kurtulus, Emre Colak, Umut Bulut JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente Juventus bench: Storari, Caceres, Ogbonna, Isla, Padoin, Quagliarella, Giovinco

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS December 10, 2013 - 8:45 PM Türk Telekom Arena — Istanbul Referee: Pedro Proença (Portugal) Galatasaray vs Juventus PREVIEW – Nothing Taken for Granted Dec 10, 2013 Many of us thought we were nervous last game. I’m not referring to Friday’s match away at Bologna, but rather the last Champions League tie. Serie A has settled down for the Old Lady — for the time being at least. Now Juventus face a must-win in the far-eastern echelons of the continent, in what will certainly be unfamiliar and unfriendly territory, the ancient city of Istanbul. For the second time in consecutive seasons, Champions League survival was not easy to come by. This time, it’s down to the bitter end. Avanti. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus Under Antonio Conte, this lot have been in this position before. It’s been just two seasons so the sample size is admittedly small, but like last year, the ball is at least in Juve’s court. Reiterating the theme that I love to beat to death, that being history repeating itself perpetually, comparing to last year Juventus have hit their form at just the right time. Upon starting off strong, they’ve once again struggled in continental competition, whilst finally deciding to pick it up at the end. Though this time it took the penultimate match of the group stage to capture their first +3 of the group stages, they’re responded handsomely to that game against Fiorentina at the end of October. Consider that since then, the team has won seven straight in Italy, outscoring opponents 15 to 0 during that span. Certainly concerns about a once impenetrable defense now seeming fallible were silenced a bit with seven consecutive clean sheets. http://markting10.nl/ For the first time this season tifosi will be able to utter without a hint of irony that they’re at least confident that the ship based in port Turin has been righted. With that, more good news: for the first time in what seems like forever, Stephan Lichtsteiner is set to make his return back to the starting xi in Champions League play. Sorely missed during the fixtures against Real Madrid, where his speed, perseverance, and animal instincts would have been vital against Cristiano Ronaldo, he is surely welcomed back with open arms. Aside from that one personnel shift, the notable absence is Andrea Pirlo, still recovering from a knee injury. On the bright side, the dilemma Conte had in the past of how to cram in all of his world-class midfield foursome into three spots is thus solved for the next few weeks. With that, a fairly typical lineup is projected: http://markting10.nl/ Probable Formation: (3-5-2) Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente Galatasaray While Juventus hold destiny in their own hands, Galatasaray have their lives to play for. The Turkish Giants can still qualify for the knockout stages, but must defeat Juventus to do so. The team will be highly motivated. http://markting10.nl/ Fittingly, Juventus will see a few infamous old faces on their trip to Turkey. Roberto Mancini wants his team to remain disciplined and complete the task at hand. Arch nemesis (and this was while at Juventus, sadly) Felipe Melo is keeping the faith. And, reports indicate Wesley Sneijder set to return from injury. But for Antonio Conte, it’s another day at the office. Avanti. http://markting10.nl/ Probable Formation: (4-5-1) Muslera, Eboue, Chedjou, Kaya, Nounkeu; Melo, Inan; Bruma, Sneijder, Yilmaz; Drogba Two weeks ago, I was terrified of the prospect of Juventus having to go to Istanbul needing a result in order to keep the Champions League dream alive. That scenario is alive and well, only at least the result required is a draw. Had the Curse of Lars not been vanquished, Juventus would have faced a virtual lost cause having to win against Galatasaray in Turkey, who would have been more than happy to lock up the fortress in front of a friendly crowd. Now, despite the home field disadvantage, it’s advantage Juventus. Galatasaray are the ones in desperate need of a win. They are a strong team with their backs against the wall, and thus nothing should be taken for granted. http://markting10.nl/ Yet, considering all that is at stake — both competitive aspects as well as financial, which could have ramifications for this winter and summer — the situation could have been far worse.

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS December 10, 2013 - 8:45 PM Türk Telekom Arena — Istanbul Referee: Pedro Proença (Portugal) Team News, Tactics, Line-ups And Prediction - UEFA Champions League Dec 10, 2013 Galatasaray host Juventus at Turk Telecom Arena in the crucial Champions League group stage fixture, which will decide the fate of both these teams in this tournament. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw as Didier Drogba, Arturo Vidal, Fabio Quagliarella and Umut Bulut got on the score-sheet. http://markting10.nl/ Real Madrid have already qualified from this group and have confirmed their place at the top of the table, leaving Juventus and Galatasaray fight for the final spot. The duo are separated by only two points and Juventus are in the most favourable position. The Italian side will require only a draw in Turkey to qualify for the knock-out stages, although they did suffer a 2-0 defeat the last time they visited this stadium back in 2003 as Hakan Sukur scored a memorable brace. Team news and tactics Galatasaray Galatasaray made a slow start to their domestic league and won only two of their first seven matches this season. They are currently third in the league table – nine points behind league leaders Fenerbahce. The Cimborn are coming into this fixture on the back of 2-0 win over bottom of the league side Elazigspor as Selcuk Inan and Burak Yilmaz scored two early goals for the home side. Roberto Mancini’s men have been on good form at home and are on a five match winning streak at the Turk Telecom Arena in all competitions. This might hold them in good stead in this crucial encounter against Juventus. http://markting10.nl/ The Turkish side are currently third in the Group B points table in the Champions League and are in desperate need of a win in this game. They have been disappointing in Europe this season and have managed to win only one of their five matches so far. Moreover, Galatasaray have conceded 14 goals in five matches, which includes a 1-6 thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid in the opening game of this group. They lost their last match in the Champions League against Real Madrid as the Spanish side completed a 10-goals rout over two legs. Roberto Mancini will be without Hamit Altintop for this game, who is out with a back injury. But the good news is that Wesley Sneijder, who has once again been linked with a move to Manchester United, has recovered from his injury and could feature after an absence of six weeks. Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera is also available once again after featuring in the win against Elazigspor. Roberto Mancini is expected to make only one change to the side he fielded at the weekend with Yekta Kurtulus being replaced by Wesley Sneijder. The former Manchester City manager has been using a 3-4-1-2 formation recently with Riera and Eboue as wingbacks. This seems to be a tactics to accommodate the trio of Drogba, Yilmaz and Sneijder in the side without having to reduce numbers at the center of the park. It will be interesting to see how this tactics match up against a Juventus side, who also play with a three-man defence. Expected starting line-up (3-4-1-2): Muslera (GK); Zan, Gulselam, Chedjou; Riera, Melo, Inan, Eboue; Sneijder; Yilmaz, Drogba http://markting10.nl/ Juventus Juventus have started from where they left off last season and have been in flying form in Serie A. The reigning Italian champions are currently leading the points table with a three point’s advantage over AS Roma. It looks unlikely that any team would be able to stop them from the clinching the title once again this season, despite the fact that Roma made all the early season running. The Old Lady have lost just one match in the league this season and are currently on a nine match unbeaten streak in all competitions. They have also improved their away form after managing to win only three of their opening eight matches on the road in all competitions. Antonio Conte’s men have now won three match on a trot on their travels and will look to carry this form against Galatasaray tonight. Juventus are coming into this game on the back of a 0-2 win over Bologna as Vidal and Chiellini scored for the away side. http://markting10.nl/ Quite contrastingly, Juventus have been disappointing in Europe this season. They have managed to win only of their five encounters so far and perhaps their best performance have come against the toughest opponents in the group – Real Madrid. Conte would have been disappointed with the fact that his side were held to a draw against both FC Copenhagen and a struggling Galatasaray side at the start of their European campaign. But luckily for them, they still have their fate in their own hands and can confirm a place in the next round with a draw in Turkey. They maintained this possibility with a crucial 3-1 win over Copenhagen in their last Champions League encounter as Vidal scored a hat-trick. Antonio Conte is still without Simone Pepe, but the bigger concern for him is the absence of Andrea Pirlo. The Italian midfielder has suffered from a knee injury and is out of contention. There are also concerns about the fitness of Mirko Vucinic, who was replaced by Llorente in the first half of the game against Bologna. Conte is expected to make five changes to the side which he fielded at the weekend. Both Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente started from the bench in the last game as Conte looked to rest them, the duo will start once again. Stephan Lichtsteiner will replace Mauricio Isla on the right wing, while Kwadwo Asamoah will replace Federico Peluso on the left. Angelo Ogbonna will drop back to the bench with Leonardo Bonucci returning to the center of the three-man defence. Expected starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon (GK); Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente http://markting10.nl/ Players to watch-out for: Burak Yilmaz (Galatasaray); Arturo Vidal (Juventus) Prediction: Galatasaray 1-1 Juventus Blast from the past http://youtu.be/NhZaHiPLn_U

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS December 10, 2013 - 8:45 PM Türk Telekom Arena — Istanbul Referee: Pedro Proença (Portugal) Conte: Juventus will play to win Dec 10, 2013 Juventus coach Antonio Conte will urge his team to go for victory when they square off against Galatasaray in the Champions League. http://markting10.nl/ The Old Lady require just one point to advance to the last 16, but Conte doesn’t want his side to play for the draw. “It’s a make or break match. It’s not the first one we’ve faced and I hope we’ll be able to play more of these games in the future,” Conte told the press. “It’s another step forward in our development, against a strong Galatasaray side who will want to make their home advantage count. http://markting10.nl/ “We’ll try to dictate the game without thinking about the fact that a draw would also suit us. We’ll go for the win, just as we always do.” Conte paid compliments to Roberto Mancini and his players, while playing down his side’s favouritism for the tie. “Mancini’s an excellent coach and Galatasaray are in good hands, just like they were with Terim,” Conte continued. ”He’s only recently joined the club and it always takes a while to settle in and convey your philosophy to the squad.” Conte said. http://markting10.nl/ “There isn’t a favourite for the match. We both approach it on a level playing field and I hope the team that has shown itself to be the best emerges victorious at the final whistle. “We’ve certainly improved since the last time we met Galatasaray, but we know we’ll be up against a very good side. “Players like Drogba and Sneijder are very dangerous and we’ll have to be on our guard throughout.”

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS December 10, 2013 - 8:45 PM Türk Telekom Arena — Istanbul Referee: Pedro Proença (Portugal) Juventus probable XI v Galatasaray Dec 10, 2013 Juventus will line-up with a 3-5-2 at Galatasaray this evening as they look to secure a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. http://markting10.nl/ After using a 4-3-3 in the competition against Real Madrid earlier this term, Conte will stick with the system he uses in Serie A. After being rested for the win at Bologna on Friday, Leonardo Bonucci returns to the back-three in place of Angelo Ogbonna. Stephan Lichtsteiner will begin on the right of midfield after recovering from injury, but there will be no place for Andrea Pirlo who will be out until the start of 2014. http://markting10.nl/ In attack, Carlos Tevez – without a goal in the Champions League for four years – will partner Fernando Llorente. The Italian champions need a draw to secure a place in the knock-out phase, but Galatasaray will go through instead with a victory. Juventus probable: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Pogba, Vidal, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez.

GALATASARAY - JUVENTUS 10 Dicembre, 2013 - ore 20:45 Türk Telekom Arena Istanbul Arbitro: Pedro Proença (Portogallo) Verso Galatasaray-Juventus: La qualificazione passa per il 'Türk Telekom Arena' 'Madama' ha due risultati su tre a favore per il passaggio agli ottavi di finale di Champions League. Ma i turchi sono un osso duro. Dec 10, 2013 PROBABILI FORMAZIONI MUSLERA GULSELAM - CHEDJOU - KAYA EBOUE' - MELO - INAN - RIERA SNEIJDER DROGBA - YILMAZ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEVEZ - LLORENTE ASAMOAH - MARCHISIO - POGBA -VIDAL - LICHTSTEINER CHIELLINI - BONUCCI - BARZAGLI BUFFON Nella partita che può valere una stagione Antonio Conte sembra intenzionato a rispolverare la formazione che dà maggiori garanzie. In porta confermatissimo Buffon mentre la linea difensiva a tre sarà composta da Barzagli, Bonucci e Chiellini. http://markting10.nl/ Sugli esterni ci saranno Asamoah sulla sinistra con il finalmente recuperato Lichtsteiner sul versante opposto. L'infortunio di Pirlo lascia poca discrezionalità al tecnico che schiera Pogba in cabina di regia coadiuvato da Vidal e Marchisio. Il tandem offensivo è composto da Tevez e Llorente, con Vucinic e Quagliarella pronti a subentrare. Dal canto suo, Roberto Mancini presenta una novità nel suo scacchiere tattico: la difesa a tre. Pertanto davanti a Muslera ci saranno Kaya, Chedjou e Gulselam con Ebouè e Riera che vengono avanzati sulla linea di centrocampo. I due interdittori in mediana sono l'ex di giornata Felipe Melo ed Inan. Sulla trequarti giostrerà un'altra vecchia conoscenza del calcio italiano, l'olandese Sneijder, pronto ad innescare la temibile coppia d'attacco formata da Drogba ed Yilmaz. http://markting10.nl/ CURIOSITÁ • Galatasaray e Juventus si sfideranno per la sesta volta nella loro storia. Il bilancio è in perfetta parità con una vittoria per parte e tre pareggi. L'ultimo dei quali nel match di andata finito 2-2. • Nelle due partite disputate fuori casa, i bianconeri hanno racimolato un pari nel 1998 (segnarono Amoruso e Kaya) ed una sconfitta per 2-0 sul campo neutro di Dortmund. • Fino al match di andata i due tecnici Roberto Mancini ed Antonio Conte non si erano mai trovati l'uno contro l'altro. Per trovare l'ultima volta che si sono sfidati da calciatori bisogna risalire al 1999, durante un Lazio-Juventus terminato per 0-0. • Nella formazione turca ci sono tre vecchie conoscenze del calcio italiano: si tratta di Felipe Melo (tre stagioni tra Fiorentina e Juventus), Wesley Sneijder (tre anni e mezzo all'Inter) e Fernando Muslera (quattro campionati alla Lazio). • Antonio Conte ha affrontato il Galatasaray anche da giocatore senza, però, mai riuscire a vincere. La prima volta nel 1998 (1-1), la seconda nel 2003 (2-0 per i turchi). • La 'Vecchia Signora' ha già vinto in passato contro una squadra ottomana nel mese di dicembre. Correva la stagione 1996/97 e, contro il Fenerbahce, le reti di Padovano ed Amoruso sancirono il successo per 2-0.
