mikep: Yes. I forgot he played 90mns the weekend before. Still not bad for a 30+ year old. But he can’t be played like that.

yea i think ur right 60-70 min is good for him. U have to remember in the Fiorentina game he played a full 90 min and got a brace a few days before. His 2nd half preformence was not because of this. Still he made that 2nd goal. He can play 90 but u need to him alot of rest.

In the Fiorentina game, Juni looked like he was 18yrs old at at the beginning. He played at a frantic pace, but he ran out of gas before the 2nd half. Juni is a one half player now. Also, he doesn’t have the pace to play on the flanks anymore. He needs to play at central midfielder. He still has a year or two left in him, if he only plays the first half or comes off the bench. Hopefully, he’ll be saved for CL games.

You’re right, Mikep.
I don’t understand some people still can consider Juni as an exclusive “free kicker”. He’s far more than that.
Just look at his beginning of the season.

To say all juninho has is dangerous free kicks is a joke. He creates a ton of play and completes a alot of passes and crosses for us in midfeild. He has alot of experince which we will need in the big games. Look at all the Italian teams with older players that have won the CL. Then take a look at arsenal with there young squad what have they won lately?

Gogs translated the second part of the answer.
The first part is something like that :
“There isn’t only ONE association of player and no starting team. The team has to always have high quality whatever is the association of players on the pitch.”

it means that the question is “what do you think of the pair Benzema Fred?” and the answer is “Benzema can play very well with Fred,but also with Pjanic.Fred can also be very good with Pjanic.”

Is there anyone who could translate this, plz?

“Quel regard portez-vous sur la paire Benzema – Fred ?
Il n’y a pas une paire, une association, une équipe-type. Il faut que l’équipe conserve une grande qualité malgré les associations. Karim (Benzema) peut jouer très bien avec Fred mais également avec Pjanic ; Fred peut aussi être très bon avec Pjanic.”

Thx

I totally agree-Juninho is a living legend.But today,all he has are dangerous free kicks.He doesn’t run and fight like before.He is in condition to play only 1 half time good.We have to develop the young players so that we don’t depend only on Juninho.Every great player should know when he has to retire,like Zidane,when he’s on top.So i suppose this is Juni’s last year in football.
