That's great and all, but what about when they started pressing us and we shat our pants in Turin?

Seems a bit too arrogant from our guys IMO and they'll need to be prepared for more than just defense.

What pressing? They were loosing 0-2 and total attack was only option for them. All team (except Barcelona) get good result against us if they play deep defense and counter. Don't expect it will be different tomorrow, and that is most dangerous play for us.

Pretty much this. Although nothing about the 1st leg besides the final score was close. We dominated the game with ease.

Sometimes opponents choose to let you "dominate", especially possession.

guys 2-0 in first half , mark my words

I expect a juventus pressing our lines since the first minute, so first minutes will be important in keep our goal in 0.

Agree.

Hahaha, didn't Toni play for Juventus too?

I wonder if this is the correct time to unleash the power of the Three Kings of Munich at the same time. King Franck, King Arturo and Kingsley Coman

Without Marchisio and Dybala, two very mobile players, their pressing won't be very good. I think they'll sit back try to soak up the pressure and hit us with vertical balls to Morata and Mandzukic, hoping their height will give them an advantage. It's pretty much the only thing they have going for them. With Alaba and Lahm on the wings, I don't see them being able to push us too much over there.

I hope they will park the bus, so consequently we can see again a first half similar to the first leg, but then I will consider Allegri one of the less inteligent coaches for two reasons:

1) He let Coman leave.
2) He doesnt prepare the game well for second time against the same opponent.

How did you reach this observation please? Just asking, not being sarcastic or anything. I know he recently had a near miss with Inter in the Coppa Italia, but are there more cases?
