The Man Utd fans are the ones getting hyper confident and they say the Milanistas are the ones who are confident.

They also think Sheva is Superman and without him Milan can do nothing. (He is Superman though :()

Rui Costa will play behind Kaká-Crespo and not Tomasson-Crespo with Kaká supporting.

This tactic was practically what won us the CL in 02/03. Sheva wasnt the Milan Superman in that season so it just proves Milan can do it without him.

The last italian team to play United was Juventus , and Man Utd beat them comfortably. Now Cheva is injured and the way Man Utd are playing right now I think Milan should be worried.

Giggs was outstanding against Juventus that day which was helped by an easy goal by van Nistelrooy.

I do not want to have the mentality of being overconfident or arrogant. Milan have quality backups and we must admire that.

If I was Sir Alex, I would stick with the same lineup with Giggs back for Fortune. That would have a lot of width and counter Milan's formation. Ronaldo and Giggs are special just as Kaka and Serginho.

I feel sorry for Shevchenko.

There are reports that if the clash of heads between him and the Cagliari defender was a centimetre higher, Sheva could have died

:( :| :| :o

Ya, Milan were without Sheva for some of their CL winning campaign a couple years ago. They had Rivaldo in Kaka role, and Inzaghi in Crespo's. Was I the only one that didnt think Rivaldo didnt play THAT bad with Milan? I was sad to see him go, didnt get a proper chance last season. He was definately important in their CL winning campaign (until later stages).

Its to bad Pippo couldnt play, he usually comes through in big games.

Serginho might start in place of Sheva with him and Kaka supporting Crespo. Id rather have Rui Costa, but Serginho brings a lot of pace.

Its gonna be all-defence old school catenaccio by Ancelotti. I love it, it always makes everybody furious.

I am not sure how the catenaccio is going to work against United since they have done well against defensive italian teams in recent times.

I'm hoping for a 1-1 draw. We cant defend for 90 mins aswell, and god, Carlo, if you tell the players to do that, you will regret it, because it will be a thrashing like the Barça match at Camp Nou.

I have a feeling we're going to perform even better in the 2nd leg.. donno why.. :)

For those italian fans who are so full of confidence that they'll beat us.. come on, be realistic, when was the last time an Italian side knocked United out of the CL? Ok forget statistics then, did you at least consider looking at our recent form in previous games? Obviously not..
