If we play a smart game we should win this.
Boca are a good attacking team but they lack defensively, you could see that in their semi final game. I think it could be easier for us to score against them then it was against urawa. Because they will try to attack and control the tempo which in turn will open up spaces.
With this said, we need to keep focused at all times in defence, in every game we play we always seem to have a momentary lapse where we blank out of the game and we allow them in. Urawa didn't score yesterday because they never really tried to attack, but Boca will so this is my main concern

13-0. Brocchi will score 7. Boca's whole defense will commit harakiri. Kaladze will die in a collision with his leg!

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Dec 14 2007, 07:03 PM) Did anyone see Banega play in the Semi's? If so, how was he? I watched the second half of the semifinal against the Tunisian team. I wasn't 100% focused on him but in general I can say that his game was very mature considering his age. He's a good orchestrator. But I don't know if he suits in Milan... I mean... this is a Brazilian contingent...

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Dec 14 2007, 07:43 PM) We do need an alternative to Pirlo Montolivo, Cigarini (both reachable targets and very Pirlesque) or Aquilani (Roma-bound and not exactly a Pirlo alternative) are more than good emough for me. I want more Italians into the team and these guys are really talented!

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Dec 15 2007, 01:44 AM) Are we taking Fabregas style short defence splitting passes or Pirlo cross field passes Like BigMac said, he defends more - and better - than Pirlo or Fabregas and in attack he's not like any of the two either. Mostly he just helps build up the play, he's not going to give you the super ball. He can dribble too. But this is just from having watched him for one half. QUOTE (jefri91 @ Dec 15 2007, 02:15 AM) i wish this match was at night Well technically it is... if you live in Japan. But I'm not complaining, ari has to put up with the time all season long...

I've just gotten up. Went to bed early and everything.(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The Etoile - Uraway game is a very entertaining one, btw. It's 2-2 in the 82nd. EDIT: Urawa win 4-2 on penalties.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised by the starting defenders for Milan. Wonder if and at which point they'll be subbed. Granted, Oddo's been in horrible form of late, but Bonera isn't nearly as good going forward. To me, it indicates Milan is very wary of the Boca attack. As for Janku, perhaps he doesn't have full match fitness yet. The semi was the first game he's played in quite a long while.

Quickly followed by a goal by Palacio. Bad defensive error; they weren't paying attention.

Wow. Palacio has been called offside more than Pippo. I didn't think anyone could outdo Pippo for that!
HT 1-1.

Cafu should come on in the second half. Bonera looks really uncomfortable when he goes on the overlap. Already wasted a couple of chances when he's been in a great position to cross

1-1 HT. Awful performance, only some Kaka flares rescue us from looking amateurish! We need Gourcuff in Gattuso's place who has been our worst player in this game so far. Forza Ragazzi!!! Try harder in the second half! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Dec 16 2007, 01:26 PM) Just saw the goals. Pathetic defending from the set piece. No no, that was not pathetic, there was no defending at all. Boca players had a training session on crosses and headers and they did very well. We had a training session too, on sleeping... QUOTE (zdrossoneri @ Dec 16 2007, 01:28 PM) Anyway, if we keep on attacking, we can score. Boca's defense is not what I expected to be. but the problem is we cannot attack consistently... How many goals can we score with 3 players in their half!?? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

This is the same ref, btw, who called the Italy-S Korea game in 2002. He's not a popular guy in Italy.
He also didn't call a clear yellow against Palacio (on Rino).

Oh!! Ambro allows a Boca player to go forward and shoot freely, his shot ricochets on the left post and Palermo (I think) can't push it in from the rebound. We were lucky not to concede here. We're losing control of the game now. No GOAL KAKAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Dec 16 2007, 01:47 PM) Yeah, i dont particularly like this ref either

Well, dst, there's your Kaladzity. Straight red to Kaladze.
How odd that the Boca players do the same thing and don't even get fouls called on them.
