Kick off from Stade de la Mosson:

min. 78 - great attacking play from the french side, Bedimo receives a pass on the left side, he crosses the ball into the penalty area, to the far post and the stadium erupt in cheers, it's 1-0 to Montpellier. Souleymane Camara takes to voley and puts the ball into the back of net, no chance for Storari. If the score stays like this, then it means that the French side makes it to the first knock-out stage.

min. 79 - Juve is shocked and immediately counter-attacks, Pirlo sets up Giovinco on the egde of the penalty area at the "atomic ant" takes a fantastic shoot at goal into the top corner and it's 1-1. Great goal from the little striker, Juve are back in the game.

Pescara - Juventus 1-5 (Chiellini, Giovinco, Padoin, Matri, Pepe)

Winter break, we are top of Serie A

Player of the month: Sebastian Giovinco

If anyone is intrested, this how we play. I rotate every single position, except for Buffon. He is the only player that is in the first 11 every game, except if he is injured.



Rotation of the players is based on their fitness level, this is the formation for most of the games, exception is that Lichtstainer is my first choise for right midfielder, but he is injured now, and Marchisio for Pogba, Claudio is also injured.

Hope someone is following this, be back in few minutes with the second part of the season.
