MALDINI: 'We were not celebrating at half time'
5/27/2005
MILANELLO - Paolo Maldini has commented on a report in the Gazzetto dello Sport newspaper that according to Liverpool defender Traore, Milan were already celebrating victory in the Champions League final during the half-time interval: 'We are a side that accepts the result on the pitch and although it was a painful defeat it was a game we deserved to win. That does not mean we have to voluntarily accept what Traore was reported to have said which was given a lot of prominence while in the same article his coach Benitez said the opposite to his player. We are not a superficial side as the Gazzetto dello Sport made out, we are experienced players and there were no celebrations in the dressing room during the interval.' The captain added: 'Indeed, there was certain nervousness and Carl Ancelotti, our coach, advised us just in the interval to get the maximum level of concentration.'

Squad to face Udinese
GOALKEEPERS: Abbiati, Dida, Fiori;
DEFENDERSI: Esajas, Kaladze, Nesta, Pancaro, Rodrigo, Simic;
MIDFIELDERS: Brocchi, Dhorasoo, Gattuso, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf, Serginho;
STRIKERS: Crespo, Inzaghi, Tomasson.
I think we'll see
Abbiati
Simic/Pancaro Esajas Nesta Kaladze
Brocchi Pirlo Dhorasoo
Kaká/Serginho
Inzaghi Tomasson
I dont think Udinese will win this easily but they still will, hope to see some good football to close a rather frustrating season..

Let me just say it fits Milan's play. He's a hugely underrated player but there's a reason he's never in the spotlight. He never loses the ball and is an effective passer. BUT... he was probably the least creative player on the team. Never any through passes, never any crosses. Just did his job and that's all there was to it.Shevchenko-[7] said:is he more Pirlo or more Gattuso?
Any why do the PSV fans laugh at this transfer then?
He must be bad, no? Describe his style of play.
"There you go, he's a player that will fit perfectly in the Milan midfield, plays boring, just like Gatusso and Ambrosini. 1 goal and 0 assists for PSV in the league this season, proves my point."

goddamn you better beat Udinese tomorrow, I don't want to waste a Championsleague spot on them, they will be lucky to even get through qualifying if they lose all their players during the summer. Samp deserves it more.

they look so much alike
"We have Vogel who has different characteristics to Pirlo, he has less vision but tactically he covers the pitch well. As for the rest, it is up to the club to decide what is best but I have no preferences." - Ancelotti
I like the sound of Vogel - the fact that he is able to get into the game more via "covering the pitch" will surely help our "defence" problem. I mean, in recent months i've noticed that our defenders actually close opposition strikers down quite well - that is, almost all of the goals Milan have conceded in recent times have come from midfielders, mostly from outside the area. (Smicer, the various strikes during Milans home game against PSV - Van Bomel, Inter Milan -- Kily Gonzales, Veron, Van Der Meyde etc. and the match against Brescia.)
Secondly, Jankulovski from Udinese/Czech Rep. has been linked for a transfer to Milan.
I still want Van Der Meyde though

Van der Meyde? 
Anyways,
"We will sign one major star this season and we already know who it is"
-Galliani
Who could it be? *cough* Gilardino *cough*
It was widely reported that on Thursday morning... (afer we lost.....), The board called Parma straight away to have the first refusal on him. Expect him to come, officialized after Parma finish their Serie A campaign.
"It's not a secret anymore, Jankulovski is wanted by Ancelotti. I don't think we can do anything about it and I'm convinced the chairman will eventually let him go. He will have a great future in a great club like Milan."
-Luciano Spaletti (Udinese Manager)
There you go, another big coup for us. Jankulovski would be the perfect signing for the moment as Seedorf's position is getting a little bit too comfortable for him.
Janks would add width to the LEFT wing and this makes us dangerous on both wings with Cafu. A further advantage is that this would leave space for Pirlo and Kaká in the middle as opposition defences concentrate more on our wings.
Crespo, is also certain to join us permanently after his great display in the final. Galliani has assured Milan are doing everything to keep him at Milan.
Another sure signing for us is Massimo Oddo of Lazio. He's gonna add great depth to this team and lessen the burden on Cafu. He's also supposed to be a penalty expert
. Having him also makes our wings even more powerful added to the fact Serginho will still be here and there for us next season. Gilardino, Sheva and Crespo are the main gainers of these winger signings as they have the aerial ability to utilize.
Watch out Juve, as if this season we didnt challenge you enough. We are going to be even stronger next season! It is Milan's philosophy to do this as Arrigo Sacchi said it, "Buy when you are strong".
FORZA MILAN!
