Sadly, that's already what the Italian press are projecting.

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Sep 16 2008, 04:17 PM) I cant really imagine Carlo throwing a boot at Pirlo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I can't imagine either. could it be that they want to respectfully drop Pirlo for a couple of games but fear things will get only worse, so they say he can't play due to injury? I mean, from now on every wrong decision by Carlo will only make him more unsettled. if he dropped Pirlo just to try something different and we lost the game everyone would blame him for it ("Pirlo is irreplaceable, why did you dropped him, your time is up, get the F out, etc."). apparently fitness coach (or something like that!) was present at that meeting too. maybe he adviced them to rest Pirlo a little bit... QUOTE (Tennie @ Sep 16 2008, 04:19 PM) Actually the ones set to be benched for physical reasons (so the press reports go this morning) are Shevchenko and Ronaldinho. Pirlo's been playing with a minor injury for a while, I think -- though it was my understanding it was his knee. If he's pulled a thigh muscle on top of that, then yeah, he needs rest and recuperation. He certainly hasn't been anywhere near ideal form so far this season. Shevchenko I agree, as he couldn't even make a single shot at Genoa's goal and was poor. Ronaldinho...? I think his problem is fatigue (international games, (?)-hour flight from South America to Milan (also time difference could be a reason)). he can't regain his form if he doesn't play; but for now he just needs sufficient rest I guess. as soon as his fatigue's gone, he can play again. I especially say that because he did good on his debut and poor after international games. After all maybe Pirlo is really injured. that was just a hypothesis... QUOTE (dst @ Sep 16 2008, 04:20 PM) You mean he's on his way out? I doubt it. Out of Milan? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) No! Pirlo hasn't been in his best form, maybe they just want him to rest, but for the reasons I said above, fear things will get worse so they say he has a muscular problem. QUOTE (Tennie @ Sep 16 2008, 04:34 PM) Sadly, that's already what the Italian press are projecting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) Favalli ahead of Antonini, and now Emerson ahead of Cardacio and others? knowing Carlo, that shouldn't have even surprised me... |

(If Ronaldinho needs to play to regain his form, should not the same also be true of other players who aren't in good form?)

(Depends. if you mean Pirlo, I think he needs rest instead of more playing time. of course, I can be completely wrong. maybe Ronaldinho needs to be dropped too)

It was about time Pirlo got an injury. Along with Rino, we've worked them like mules over the past 3 seasons. Kaka was injured, and finally managed to get some time off.
I would personally like to see Cardaccio get a start, but like you guys mentioned, I'm expecting to see a middle three of ... Ambro---Matthieu---Emerson |

Emerson...is still alive...?
Seriously, if Emo plays i will boycott watching all games till the end of the season. Same goes for Favalli. If Carlo does play any one of these two, he looses a supporter of him |

I don't think either one should start. Have no problem if we're 3-0 up and there's 15 minutes left and THEN they're sent on.
Sadly, not sure Carletto thinks that way. |

Pirlo is injured!
Right guys, I think we'll actually not get any points till after he recovers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Pirlo is the guy who everyone looks for straight away when they get possession of the ball. And he is our pace maker. Who will they pass to now? Kaka or Ronaldinho? If so, they will have to drop back a considerable distance and thus probably lose the ball as they are getting marked out every game by at least 2 players. Pirlo is our fulcrum, without him, we are a flop of a team. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Ambro---Matthieu---Emerson Milan and Italy depend so much on Pirlo, it isn't even a joke! No matter what people think of him, he remains on the pitch and a first team player for both team and country. Now that that is out of the way ... Carlo will seriously be tested to field a lneup without Pirlo, and I am very curious to see how he deals with it. |
