few people know this, that guy who did the two goals from Sampdoria is an Argentinian player that was born in the same town that Messi, he also came through the Masia academy and was just transferred to Italy in 2011, he's under 20 so he could grow a little more than 5'11" if u ask me here's the next Batigol or Crespo for Argentinian football, heopfully they take him to the world cup in Brasil.
I still can't believe Juventus lost this game with one man up. If you didn't watch the game, they lined up in a 3-4-3 formation with 4 players playing very wide, and the other attackers staying around the 18 yard box.
This tactic was very effective in getting forward and giving them width but credit to Sampdoria because they must've intercepted or blocked about 20 crosses.
Also Sampdoria's counter attack was very effective because Juve didn't put much effort into getting back and left all the defending to their slow center backs. Pogba was out wide as well too much, and would've been more effective if played more central to break up play.
This is mostly due to very bad defending from Peluso. If you watch the replays of the first and second goals for sampdoria you will see he had the chances to block the shots on goal he looked like he couldnt give a s**t. a very terrible replacement for Chelleini !
for the first goal. I dont think you can really blame it on Pirlo's passing mistake. I hardly see how it's Pirlo's fault. That is why we have defenders to protect buffon's goal. Peluso takes the blame on both instances.
If it was Chellini, Im sure he would have worked a lot harder to block the shots and we would have had a different outcome to this match.

First goal was because we were playing high and Pirlo gave the ball away. It was a first time shot, he wasn't even there.
Second was his to a point. As he was out of position. He needs to get used to playing 3 men.
If it was Chellini, Im sure he would have worked a lot harder to block the shots and we would have had a different outcome to this match.
Too bad he is injured.
I wish him a speedy recovery.
