“This is the Juventus that wants its people. A team that never gives up, faithful to “until the end”. A band of men who climb injustices and climb the hill with glory beyond refereeing errors. A group that never stops attacking even with ten against eleven together in which the technical players are taking on more and more courage in their play, providing glimpses of pure spectacle.” This is how the fund starts Guido Vaciago on Tuttosportto comment on the 2-3 draw in Leipzig.
In numerical inferiority, they could have been satisfied with a draw, but instead they looked for victory until the end: “Juventus is acquiring a profound offensive mentality: attacking with ten against eleven, still looking for victory, this is the stuff of a great team. Yesterday Juventus risked a lot , because he attacked a lot: he played like Champions in Champions.”
In closing, criticism of the refereeing and the new format of the Champions League: “The inadequacy of François Letexier, the Frenchman from Leipzig-Juventus, adds to that of Sandro Scharer, the Swiss player from Leverkusen-Milan. The two Germans are lucky against the Italians, the new Champions League is very unfortunate and unfortunately has a lot of inadequate. The expansion to 36 teams and the new formula, in the first two days, produced a 5-0, a 7-1 and a 9-. 2 which are not synonymous with spectacle, but with exaggerated imbalance. But it is the people’s football, so the people must be happy.”
