What did Juve learn from Celtic on Tuesday?

1080

On watching Celtic on Tuesday I wondered, ‘What will Juventus learn from this performance?’  Their scout will have left with a few notes.

Celtic can break quickly and effectively.  Both Hooper goals came as a result of moving the ball the length of the field, mostly on the deck, at pace.

Their threat from corner kicks was re-emphasised.  Charlie Mulgrew delivers the ball with sufficient pace to benefit from unpredictable movement, beyond the anticipated swerve.  This will be difficult for defenders, keeper and attackers to meet, but Celtic players clearly put a lot of work into practicing getting onto the end of these crosses.

Hopefully the scout will have learned nothing about how we will defend against Juventus as we were somewhat erratic early on against United and were not pressed thereafter.

Juventus are rightly favourites but this this is a thankless tie for them, especially when the first message delivered is ‘Don’t concede corners or free kicks in wide positions’.

They will also be alert to the dangers of being caught forward when Celtic can break effectively.  Celtic conceded through this mistake against Spartak last month but I wouldn’t expect us to leave as much empty space in defence at any point against Juventus.

My main worry about Celtic is over how much practice they are putting into penalty kicks….

  4. No I think because the Swedish season is run on a different calender the 3 Club rule does not apply. Bang Bang is gone.

  5. Canamalar- I thought it was a calendar year.A Russian team wanted Miku recently but think it got knocked back for that reason.

    That post was prompted by the time shifting/arresting that was occurring on the board, rather than my feelings for the late lamented.

    Good post

     

    You generally come across as a reasonable man

     

     

    However I must be pedantic

     

    Cathal Brugha’s name in the Engish version was Charles Burgess and not Charles Burke

  8. Wikipedia reveals the tutelage of Eden Hazard in the dark arts of ballboy bashing, this will come as no surprise to anyone on here:

     

     

    “Following the resignation of Vercauteren, he was replaced with manager Dick Advocaat. Under Advocaat, Hazard became a starter in the team and, on 14 November 2009, played a full match for the first time in his international career.”

    Ironic that we have the best Celtic side for years coinciding with a fact finding Season Ticket survey.

     

     

    I’ve always wanted a Celtic side that could ‘defend’ first and foremost, especially in Europe after years of heart ache, we’ve had a run. We did all out attack with no creativity and suffered at Celtic Park in the SPL, now we’re hitting them for four.

     

     

    It’s a funny ole game CSC

    Noticed the DR said that some The Rangers official said that the arabs wearing “our hero” face masks could cause a riot. Thank god they only sold 200 tickets to them then………..

     

     

    As you’ll remember from our recent game at Dundee, it only takes five arrests to constitute a riot.

    Disappointed that Vale could only draw 2-2 away to second bottom AFC Wimbledon – however at 2-0 down it could have been worse.

     

    Tom Pope scored again – think we could lose him in this window
