Jeez forgot about how criminal that squad was., tbh quite liked Candreva. Pelle was shite, but they had De Rossi, younger Chielini and Bonucci

 

De Rossi was in a steep decline by that point, and playing alongside Parolo and Giaccherini for most of the tournament in midfield. This squad is miles ahead in terms of younger midfield and forward options even with the injuries they've had. 

 

The only place that squad was stronger was that they had Juve's back 3 from that period still at their peak and used to playing together at club level. But even then I think the depth and balance is arguably better now - they just won't commit to playing somebody like Bastoni and preferring experience. Which I agree is dangerous considering the high line and press they're playing.

The Czech manager just reminded me that one of my favourite little things in football is watching a manager do the little pre-emptive header then going wild when the player obliges and bullets it in.
