Would anyone be able to define Juventus' style of play?
It's somewhat English in approach at times barring the extreme hustle and bustle and ping pong manner of the EPL.
The 442 formation typifies the EPL style with no real creative midfielder and the extreme "use" of wingers(who hardly cut inside)
The three pronged attack is something that as of yet i am unfamiliar.
The first leg CL game against Real Madrid was an episode of defending and hoping for the best. The loss of Nedved must have been a big blow for Capello's strategy but apart from that.. The teams's structure and play was quite below average. Real Madrid is a strong team( collection of individual brilliance) but Juventus must be able to impose their style on everyone.
I am not claiming the team was exceedingly poor, but captain DP and the boys struggled.
I hardly see Juventus games anymore(more like never) my only concern is that we seem to have the same missing link from the last games that I saw. No creative midfielder means the play is haphazard and structureless. Camoranesi can hold the ball i suppose.. but what about a more central player who holds the ball and distributes vertically as well as horizontally?
Obviously such a player can be locked down (or an attempt made) but a deeper lying midfielder should be able to operate in a similar role.
Do we play a pressing game now, do we stifle with passing or do we hoof it up the field when it gets a bit uncomfortable and see who can find whom in a promising area?
This post is simply to learn more from the Juventus fans who actually see games and therefore have better information on the team style and potential.
