Kaka will just have to be careful, same for Ambro.

Anyway, I don't like talking about Athens when there is still a game we HAVE to win before we start even think about that one.

Anyway, this is the team I would put out for the next leg

Oddo--Nesta--Maldini/Kala--Janku
-------Ambro---Pirlo---Rino--------
------------Kaka--Seedorf----------
-----------------Pippo----------------

I know what people are going to say about the fact that I would choose Kala ehead of Bonera if Maldini is not fit, but the fact that he and Nesta have a much better understanding with eachother then Bonera is enugh, also the fact that Bonera looked nervouse yesterday is a big factor.

I know he was very stupid against Cagliari the other day but he was solid throughout the match.

Hopefully Rino will be fit, because without him we have no chance.

Seedorf needs to play next to Kaka, he was playing too much on the left flank yesterday, that's why Gila was isolated for the entire match, the only balls he was being fed were the long punts up the pitch from Dida. Plus he is far more effective there rather then on the flank where he is pretty useless, if we want to play with wings then I would much rather have Sergio there.

And lastly, Pippo needs to play. Gila might not have gotten service yesterday, in fact I can't even recall a single chance that fell to him, BUT if a chance does arrove at home then we need to take it, and I don't really trust Gila with it, so Pippo, no matter how fit he is needs to play.

I don't have any particular feeling about this match, the result yesterday wasn't tragic, but it wasn't good either. It was much better then a 1-0 anyway.

I only hope we give it out best on Wednesday and not throw all that we have done out of the window because of lapses in concentration.

But if neither Rino nor Paolo are ready then I can't see us going through

You have Gattuso and Ambrosini on the wrong side of the midfield. ¬_¬

I'm not sure if you didn't put Dida in there because you just missed him, or you think he's that bad that we may as well play with 10 men? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It's irrelevent really where we put Ambro and Rino, they will rotate around the midfield all game long.

I think choosing Dida, despite the blunders yesterday is a must since I don't trust any of the others anyway

QUOTE
Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti is confident of eliminating Manchester United from the Champions League. “It’s only half-time and it’s all to play for.”

The Rossoneri were leading 2-1 at Old Trafford in the semi-final first leg, but conceded a stoppage-time Wayne Rooney strike to go down 3-2.

“It is only to be expected that there is bitterness at the way the game ended,” he told ‘Milan Channel.’

“Rooney’s goal penalised us considering the overall performance of the squad, as we did not deserve to lose. In practical terms, nothing has really changed. We are at half-time and the other 90 minutes will be on our turf. That is a very important factor.”

Clarence Seedorf suggested that losing the first leg was actually an advantage for Milan and Ancelotti agreed with this interpretation.

“We have an excellent chance of reaching the Final and even if it had ended 2-2, we still would’ve had everything to play for.

“It is similar to what happened against Bayern Munich. If we had closed the first leg winning 2-1, then we would have gone to Germany a little more prudent and with the brakes on. The 2-2 scoreline forced us to go out there and win.

“Now we are faced with the same conditions, but with a slight change that could yet prove decisive – we are at San Siro.”

Yet Ancelotti cannot help but be disappointed at losing the match after leading 2-1 through a Kaka brace.

“We had the chance to go 3-1 up, so at that stage things would have definitely turned in our favour, but we must not forget we were playing Manchester United away from home and to keep them under control for an hour was very important.

“This is what gives me optimism and confidence for the second leg. We did it there, we can certainly do it here.”

Gennaro Gattuso and Paolo Maldini suffered injuries in Manchester, but both hope to be ready for the May 2 showdown.

“They are both doing better and our objective over the next few days is to recover all of them and improve the condition of others,” added the Coach.

“Pippo Inzaghi, Serginho and Kakha Kaladze – who is suspended in Serie A and therefore can train hard for a week – can all give their contribution next Wednesday.”


Heh, Han might be right, Kaladze would play if Maldini doesn't make it. So let's pray Maldini makes it =)

guys I think Kaladze will play as a LB ahead of Janku .. That way the midfield would concentrate more on attacking rather than defending.

But in all fairness, Kakha at some point had my respect, but after all those injuries and lay offs, he is playing really badly and interpreting situations badly

I think Janku is better than Kaladze at attacking, he certainly is faster. Against Man U, he didn't push up much cause he and Oddo were forced to play deep. I expect him to play a much bigger role in the 2nd leg.

Kaladze was solid against Celtic for a half, but I think Bonera will be fine if he starts from the beginning. In the first leg, they put Bonera in after 45 min with a 2-1 lead, and the pressure was too big for him. Starting from the beginning though, I think Bonera will be fine.

I was pointing out that Kakha would play as a LB and not a CB, if he plays. And it is obviouslly clear that Janku is better than Kakha when going forward, he is a natural LW (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Bonera wont play at the San Siro, this I can guarantee u ... Nothing but experience will be on that field against United.

No point in using Kaladze at LB. Milan, if healthy, will use the same lineup they did against Bayern.

But that is ur point of view, Carlo has his own, and unfortunately Carlo is the one that decides (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

All I was saying, if Kakha was to play, he would play as a LB. that is all
