You'll literally going to be surprised.


As for the players being motivated or not. This is exactly my take. They will lose motivation, but tonight's game will bring them that spark back. It will take a while to shake off the displeasure but they're probably clinching the title here. They're not going to suffer for the rest of the season this defeat. And their management will put pressure on the players to treat the Inter game like the CL final they thought they deserved to be in. That's all I'm saying. Which contradicts your opinion of "Juventus' players will be demotivated due to the loss to Ajax". If anything, they'll be all super motivated as Agnelli is probably going to threaten to replace the ones that are complacent in that game. They are treating is as a do or die game. We should too.

Our discussion is very objective. There can't be a logical formal proof of "Juve players can or cannot shake off Ajax trauma" You think in one way, I think the opposite.

Again, this "he will probably threaten" is very subjective. I think that Juve's loss at Milan won't trigger anything more than what Ajax loss have already triggered, cause they still win the league easily even with these "complacent " players. Juve still needs to replace a lot of people cause CL games against Man U,Atletico, Ajax clearly showed that they lack a lot at players department.

“... We're getting there with the string being pulled just right... neither too loose nor at risk of breaking... therefore we're going to stimulate it, to pinch it willingly, because when we do that, it emits a good sound.”

[Literal from the press-conference of Luciano Spalletti, conductor and professor at the Music Conservatory of Milan]

Let's hope so.
As things stand, table and fixtures-wise, if the disappointing loss against Lazio is water under the bridge and splitting points with Atalanta was a good outcome, this is the moment to go “solo” in the CL race.
Let's not hit the wrong note, at least.

I don't know if I should be thankful or sad that I miss out on Spalletti wax philosophical due to my lack of understanding Italian

Spalletti and Nainngolan will make sure we lose this one. The former is incompetent and unstable, the latter is beyond his expiration date.

Yea. Sad, but I absolutely refuse to get my hopes up. Over the past few seasons, the amount of matches we've fucked up following our rivals dropping points must number in the dozens.

The team directly above us loses? We have the chance to overtake them by winning our next match? Which happens to be against the 20th placed team? And we're playing at home? Guaranteed "shock" loss or at best a horrendously underperforming draw.

Until this team proves, consistently, that it has the cold blood necessary to just go out and do a professional job and take advantage of other results, I'm skeptical.

We've got this one,, spalletti is a third place coach second place at most..we will never win a scudetto under him...this is the highest he is going to take us..he will fight tooth and nail to keep us in 3rd. But at least we will be in the UCL.. Forza Inter!!!

A win tonight pretty much secures a third place finish. We would just need 9 points in the next 5 matches. Inter, please don't fuck it up as you usually do.

I would love to see Radja go beast mode against the team that wanted him gone. This is his chance at redemption.

Really big three points. Especially with Juve and Napoli still left to play. Losing a 7 and 9 point lead with five games left would be a choke job im not even sure we’re capable of.

If we win this, we will have practically qualified for CL. Obviously, some sort of stupidity going down is to be expected.

A surprise from Ranieri. No Zaniolo in their starting lineup.

Mirante, Florenzi Manolas Fazio Kolarov, Cristante Nzonzi, Under Pellegrini El Shaarawy, Dzeko.

Nothing official from us yet.

Would have preferred gagliardini for defensive coverage as Vecino tends to wander. Looks like the game plan is to attack right from the start.

Old man Valero again? Why? I’d rather we start JM in his right position for once.
