AC Milan vs Liverpool Final build up [P + R]

So why did the :drevil:master tactician:drevil: start the game with a has been like Zenden and then replace him with another has been like Kewell? Not very masterly in my opinion. Theyare both very bad.

And with a four man defence instead of a ten man defence, Liverpool's defence sucks. Carragher and Agger were awful. Gerrard was nothing tonight. Alonso spent all night fouling people. The only Liverpool players who did well were Pennant and Risse. Even Kuyts goal was offside.

I think the Liverpool team had the same problem as the Liverpool fans.....overconfidence.

At the end of the day, ( as one Liverpool fan recently told me), the best team on the night is the team that scores the most goals.

My sympathy goes out to the nicer 'pool fans on here, (you know who you are guys). As for the rest......well, you know.

wwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!!!!!!!! (H)

hehehe... Congrats To Milan (6) and to me as a fan.....!!!!!

Now on the game and some team that is made for CL competition.

The game was HORRIBLE IMO. Liverpool only looked good because Janku, Nesta and Maldini were giving away the ball near Dida and that's why 'Pool had so many chances or seemed to.

Coming from a Milan fan believed me, Milan playedthe WORST game of the season, Kaka was off, Seedorf didn't touch the ball at all, Ambrosini was a fan not a player, Pirlo couldn't do anything and our defence was out of sink. NOW liverpool had only two clear chances (not counting the goal) a Pennant shot and the Gerrad missed, that's it.

Zenden is a bad player IMO, he has never been good with crossing the only thing is that he can out run you, no more.... pennant was more into passing or crossing the ball that going for a goal. Kuyt was almost non existing and were was Alonso ??? and Kewell as a replacement ???????????????? he sucks even more that Zenden.

The first goal was legal because Inzaghi had his arm to his body, so it wasn't a handball or at least not intentional. The second goal was a master piece by Kaka that faked a long shot and then pass and of course a clinical finish by Pippo.

Bad game overall, i don't think anyone deserved the win, but Milan took the only 2 opportunities that they had and liverpool didn't.

Some legends tips now: Maldini has won his 5 CL, 3 as captain and Ancelotti has won it twice as a player and twice as a manager, and Seddorf has won its 4th.

Now saying that Milan didn't deserved to be in the CL in ridiculous, why ??? well, they were 2nd in the league, but because of the scandal they had to qualify and they did, then the group stage and a very hard semi-final against the best English team (by the EPL standars that it) Manchester United.

So yeah Milan deserved to be there as well as Liverpool who in my mind eliminated the 2 best teams in Barcelona and Chelsea. Two teams that earn their spots but Milan came out on top (H)

FORZA MILAN ---- Larga vita per il grande capitano Rossonero --- and Long live Milan !!!!

BTW i was watching the game with a Liverpool fan here in Miami (H) and i say, good bye loser !!!! at the end hehe.

EDIT: one more thing.... Milan played well for 114 minutes last time, with 6 minutes of excellence for Liverpool that gave you guys the tie and eventually the cup. This time, Liverpool played 80 minutes well with 10 minutes of milan that was more than enough for the glory. So pay back was even this time. VENDETTA !!!!

We apologize for keeping the yellow too long
Yellow Card
Even a full 3(WOW.....that's a lot...NOT) minutes wouldn't have been enough for us today.

Actually, I thought they did a pretty decent job, except for the one play that did result in a goal. In addition, Kaka, Pirlo and Seerdorf were contained.

You are absolutely right about Rafa's tactics....they were off...bigtime. Infact, I would say that he cost us the game. Crouch should have been brought on earlier.....he's a rare "creature" and it's a shame he got virtually no playing time. Bellamy should have been on instead of the slow, ungainly Kuyt.

And then there was Mr. Stevie G (the epitome of overconfidence.....what an idiot....he would have never said that stuff 2 years ago) who was made to crawl back into his ph**king shell!!! Hero my a**!!! He had that Fabien Barthez look written all over, after the final whistle...you know...that "SLAP ME, I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT" look!!

Rafa walks a tight rope in Europe and has been able to get away with it....there's no sense in creating half chances if you get buried by a few bursts from the opponent!

I'm, so mad a the manager right now.....it is so very infuriating!

not a great final by any means, but to those saying Milan had "typical Italian luck" and didn't deserve to win can go eat a cock. sure we played horribly but we did what we had to and won. did Liverpool play any better? **** no, they were as lacklustre as us but they looked better because Nesta, Gattuso, Janku and Maldini all thought they were Pool players half the time and gave the ball away in their own end carelessly. add that to the fact that Ambro & Seedorf were nearly invisible and that Kaka was largely ineffective until the assist on the 2nd goal. yet we still managed to win. so **** all yall haters.

and Pippo's goal was pretty much off his shoulder which I don't think is considered a hand-ball, is it? that and it wasn't a fluke, knowing Pippo he probably meant it (H) and the 2nd goal was just class from start to finish, I wanted Kaka to shoot until I saw him thread the needle and I was just in awe. what a clinical finish from Pippo as well, how he got it perfectly under Reina was amazing (Y)



I thought the Kuyt goal was offside as well until they zoomed out and I saw Seedorf standing there so he could have been played onside, but it was mightly close. didn't matter in the end but as soon as that goal went in flashes of Istanbul ran through my mind and I got nervous and started yelling OFFSIDE FOR ****S SAKE, OFFSIDE! :(

overall it didn't even feel like a final to me for some reason until the final 10 minutes which were hectic and my heart started pounding and I started yelling at the TV. and I agree the stoppage time thing was bogus, another 30 seconds should've been played at least, but I hated how Rafa ran at the referee at the final whistle pointing at his watch :rolleyes:

FORZA MILAN!!! CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE ONCE AGAIN, GOT OUR ******* REVENGE (6)

I can't understand why people are blaming Benitez for the defeat. Yes, Crouch could have played more. That's about the only thing I think could be done differently.

Zenden? Yes, he's not good enough. I stated it earlier in the thread, but there's no replacement for him. We don't have good enough left midfielders when Riise is on the left back. With Luis Garcia's injury, it's even worse.

It's not Benitez's fault for not having decent enough players to be on the CL final. It will be if he's given the money he's rumoured to be getting and can't buy the players for next season.

I think taking off Maschareno was a mistake, he was arguably your best player today, handled Kaka very well and was a large reason why Milan couldn't counter effectively when Pool were pushing forward. just realized we scored the 2nd goal 4 minutes after he was subbed off, so there ya go :p but you cant really fault Rafa I guess, I personally would've taken off Xabi Alonso as he wasn't all that great, but I guess if you were to equalize you'd want him on the pitch, and possibly for penalties as well.

Yes, yes... I think I've banned it from my memory, but you're correct. Mascherano was much better than Alonso today, it was a shock to see him going off for Crouch.

haha seeing all the arrogant bitter Milan haters make it much more sweeter (H)


It's funny that before the game it was practically Kaká vs Benitez's. It was either skills or tactics and both didnt come through.

I havent seen Kaká get owned like this ever since Schalke's (now Sevilla's) Poulsen last season. Mascherano is freaking immense.

But a moment of brillance from him led to SUPERPIPPO getting his double.

Damn, a true master of goals man. I cannot just put it simpler. Master of goals, goals only. haha


And I really dont get the Benitez flaming. The dude practically won the midfield battle in the first half but I thought his substitutions were wayyy off.

I thought Jankulovski should have been exposed more but Pennant couldnt do that. Gerrard should have gone up againts him.

Mascherano off for Crouch was also a HUGE mistake. I thought he should have taken off the ineffective Kuyt but chasing the game, it should have been Xabi.


All in all, wasnt a great game and we didnt play spectacularly. But we did in 2005 and we ended up with massive heart and head pain.


FORZA MILAN

Could have cared less who won.

I just wish someone had the balls to break that asshole Gattuso's legs though.
He has it coming.

congrats to milan, sweet revenge, and tought mascherano and xabi did an amazing job containing kaka most of the game, the bottom line is that they didnt , cause he still got a grat pass thruw for a key goal, class players appear in the most important times when you never expect it, even if you are playing like crap, and hats off to pippo , he is one of the most oportunist players i know, hehe.


btw , its was a pretty boring game tought lol.
