(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) it was a joke bro .. Do what Mika does, Relax, Take it Easy (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I remember... It sounded like something Berlusconi would say. I'm just wondering what that headline would have been if Kaladze was the hero that night... "The Georgian creature conquers Eindhoven..."

I know you really want me to relax... But I told you, I'm NOT interested. And NO, I don't care about your oil money!!

I just have to look at threads like these and smile.

Lol what's your point Kurt? Rino was arguably the better player back then when this poll was started. now Ambro is better.

Ambrosini (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I disagree.

It was closer back then, but Ambro has always been the better player, in my opinion. He's always been able to do most of what Rino does.. plus he can actually play football.

My vote goes to Max.

I remember when he arrived, the lad couldnt get in the starting eleven due to the pairing of Albertini and Desailly (they were fantastic!!), but every chance Max got he impressed me with his commitment, desire, work rate and as Kurt says he can actually play some football.

No disrespect to Rino tho as both these men play for the shirt.

Then why was Ambro the bench warmer and Rino the starter back when only one DM started? Rino was way ahead of him when both were at their peaks.

Admittidly Rino has taken a huge nose dive now, while Ambro has managed to maintain his shape. But that's what you get when you play like Rino, he ran himself into the ground because he always gives a 110% even when playing with thorn knee ligaments for an entire match

There was a time when Rino was the heart and soul of this team, and his absence was always felt by the squad. Nowadays, Ambro is obviously better than him, but he's nowhere near as important as Rino was in his prime.

This would be true if the manager was making the correct decision, but I don't think he was.

It's like why was Kaladze starting instead of *insert any player*? Because he was better? No way, managers make mistakes.

Rino always gave 100%, I won't deny that, but his footballing ability has always been nowhere near the standards for a top half team.

I saw a perfect Gattuso on 2007 for example.

He was the only one who could/did stop Ronaldo and was one of the most important players who helped Milan to win the CHL.

Didn't Ambrosini get MotM against United in the 2nd leg? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

As far as I'm concerned that season was just Kaka' + 10 anyway.

No Seedorf was Man of the Match.

Exactly


But that's your oppinion as a lot of people see it otherwise. And it's not just Carlo who made that "mistake" as you call it, the NT coaches selected Gattuso over Ambro, he was one of the most sought after DMs at the time. So it wasn't just one coach who thought that Rino was all that but many others.

And it's not like Ambro is a Xavi-Pirlo hybrid. He's not a pass master, can't cross, can't shoot and can be just as reckless on a bad day as Rino or Flamini. So what exactly makes him better then Rino at being a footballer?
