The AC Milan Thread [2006/2007]

[Lean]

Yea, checked it aswell, but couldnt be arsed to post. Anyway, that proves my point. He's a monster playing for Brazil.

 

[Jaouadinho]

Intresting to see how many of those goals partnering ronaldo.

I dont think that many.

 

[Lean]

They've played together probably less than 10 times. Adriano scored 2 in the WC, both partnering Ronaldo, that i can recall. He scored against Venezuela on both legs on the Qualifiers, so that makes 4 out of 10 at most. Still not too bad.

 

[jani]

good win eh lots of players rested as well.


Yoann Gourcuff

 

[rony31]

just like Zizou, knows how to use his head

anyone from argentina or brazil will see their goal count go skyhigh playing against venezuela

 

[sprada]

Very good game today, fast playing. Gourcuff :Bow: fantastic player, Kaka amazing, because he understood that he is our prime player now.

 

[jani]

Not a bad way to introduce yourself to the world eh?

frontpage of one of the best sportspapers around

 

[CarlosDanger]

Good way to introduce himself to you is what you really want to say.


I already knew about Gourcuff before he signed with Milan

 

[jani]

haha I never knew him before we were linked to him.

I bet many didnt too, unless you follow the Ligue.

 

[CarlosDanger]

I bet many didnt too, unless you follow the Ligue.

 

[jani]

Gilardino renewed his contract to 2011


Good moves by the board. The backbone of our team is being secured for long periods.

Nesta and Gattuso are next.

 

[jani]

why none you posting nemore?

anyway..

Carlo just confirmed that Nesta, Pirlo and Bonera will start vs Parma tonight.

I think (and hope) :

Dida

Cafu-Bonera-Nesta-Jankulovski

Gattuso-Pirlo-Gourcuff

Seedorf

Gilardino-Oliveira


we have to capitilize on Inter's draw. we always DID NOT when Juve slipped up. we cant let it happen again.

 

[rony31]

where's Kaka?

edit: today's starting XI

MILAN (4-3-1-2): Dida; Bonera, Simic, Costacurta, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Ricardo Oliveira, Gilardino

wow, very... B-team like

 

[dannyeli]

Milan 2 Parma 0

Seedorf on a wonderful freekick and Kaka (penalty). Could have been more but Oliveira missed some, but a good game from him anyway.

-2 now... next week against Ascoli and with luck, +1 in the table. :chew:

 

[rony31]

Seedorf's goal was beautiful. but we played a horrible game, honestly. tried to be way too fancy at times, always trying little 1 touch flicks (Seedorf was the guilty party on most occassions) Oliveira missed some chances and just looked mediocre all game, Gilagol was his usual **** self until he got injured. everything else was ok, Gattuso and the back 4 did their job, Janku made some good runs, Bonera looked pretty shaky and isn't very good on the attack. but whatever, we got the 3 points with no real trouble, -2 now

 

[jani]

-2? more like -8 to Roma. Thats what we should look at..


anyway, yeah, ugly game but at this point of the season and with circumstances we are suffering right now, I dont care really.

Dida - One major mistake when his throw out wasnt read by the outfield players and almost cost a goal.

Simic - I would actually give him MoM. Good job and save Dida's ass once and broke down many, many Parma moves.

Kaladze - Came in early for an injured Billy I presume. Was pretty solid as usual. Nothing special.

Bonera - Isnt good at attack I agree, but I thought he's a very good 'defensive' RB. I think he has potential for CB.

Jankulovski - Very good crosses but I would have liked him to get forward more. I guess because its an away game so Carlo had to limit him a little.

Gattuso - Usual, normal.

Ambro - See Gattuso.

Pirlo - Slowly getting better. Assisted Kaká when he broke away for the attack. Very nice ball.

Seedorf - I dont like him as AMC. I think is a bit too slow. LMF is the best for him. His freekick was golden. Fantastic.

Kaká - The player to have on counter attacks. Contrary to Seedorf, this guy is too fast. Should have scored on a one-on-one earlier though.

Gilardino - Too bad he didnt get more time to play. Had a super chance to score but missed. Hopefully his injury isnt bad.

Oliveira - Decent game. But tends to play a little too deep. I dont think you should do that when you're the lone striker. I think thats why when Brocchi came on, he whispered Carlo's instruction to Kaká for him to play as a forward as well.


Subs :

Brocchi - Nothing to talk about. Good sub to have.


One thing though, we absolutely CANNOT play with both Rino and Ambro on the field from the start. On many occasions we saw them drifting wide trying to get pass defenders. Thats not their job! They are supposed to stop attacks, not support them.



Next up is Ascoli at the San Siro. Again, a must-win. I hope we score many goals as well but as I said earlier, I'd be content even with a 1-0 to guarentee the points.

Roma and Inter are up againts each other. Earlier I would have wished for a Roma win. But considering that silently, they are the ones who are having a good shot at the title, I hope for a draw but to be real, any result from the game is good for us as long as we win.

 

[Lean]

Oliveira was pretty average. Had a nice chance with a header but the GK saved it. Overall good result, Kaká is a speed demon, great run by him after Pirlo's pass. Nice PK taking, he's getting good at it.

 

[jani]

Carlo just said.. "If Sheva wanted to return, I would accept. But not for €45m"

Err.. No. Never in fact.

Carlo just said.. "If Sheva wanted to return, I would accept. But not for €45m"

Err.. No. Never in fact.

I don't understand the hatred. It's not like he joined Inter or Juventus. It's an EPL team that has no rivalry with you.

If he wanted back, you should accept him.
