QUOTE Kaka: I Will Be Back To My Best Soon(IMG: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2155254133_56021c55b9.jpg) Milan ace Kaka has told fans not to worry and promised them that he will be back to his best, sooner rather than later. The Brazilian has spoken of his fitness and physical condition, following the recent trouble he endured on international duty with Brazil. Kaka had problems with his left foot, but he insists the worst is behind him as he looks onwards and upwards. "I am working well and it will not be long until I am back in top form," Kaka told Milan Channel. "I want to get back to my best to help Milan reach our objectives, both present and future," he continued. Kaka has been watching events unfold in Abruzzo following the earthquake disaster. The playmaker revealed that the club are planning to give relief for those who have been affected by the disaster. "We are preparing something which will be announced soon," he said. "We will do something to help them and we are trying to find the right way of doing it." For those of you who might fear he's playing like this in order to lower his price tag.

My preferred line-up Zambro--Bonera--Favalli--Janku Becks--Pirlo--Flamini Dinho Pato--Sheva Preferrably would like both Pippo and Kaka to get 45 minutes, switching with Sheva and Dinho respectively. After last week Seedorf is currently black listed to me, until he plays like he can again I would not like to see him anywhere near the starting line up, but we all know he's going to start come Sunday, no questions asked

So, double training today for the team.
Morning training has taken place - work in the sand pit, on various pitches, runs in the woods, etc. Nobody was listed as having trained in the gym, which I take as a good sign.
There will also be an afternoon training session.

Gazzetta have an interesting formation for this match
Dida; Antonini, Senderos, Maldini, Zambrotta Seedorf, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Pato Kakà , Inzaghi
4-4-2 they think, with Pato on the wing and Kaka as a strikers or a SS

Here is gazzetta's projected lineup:
Dida Antonini Senderos Maldini Zambrotta Seedorf Pirlo Ambrosini Pato Kakà Inzaghi (they have it as a 4-4-2 and in that order).
Note that Janku is suspended for this one.

I see Carlo thought that the mess against Chievo was a brilliant piece of coaching and wants to repeat the masterpice against Toro (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Good ole' Carlo, never lets us down... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The second training session was more drills and practice games. Kaka and Il Capitano trained with the team.
Arrigo Sacchi must be nostalgic these days; he was at training today too.

Oh great. So Favalli at LB, going up against Abate. This doesn't look good. There goes our width.
So Pato will play a Rooney, out wide on the left. With Pippo and Kaka up front.

I hope Carlo does not make this retarded choice with Pato on the left again. Why give less chances to score to someone who's got such a good relationship with the net?

Re: Antonini's injury -- not that it's too likely to happen but might it be better to play Zambrotta on the left and stick one of the kids on the right? We do in theory have two RBs on the squad, neither of whom have started (Darmian and Mattioni).

Hmm....Darmian against Rosina....I suppose it can't go too badly. But I'm pretty sure our backline will be...
Zambrotta---Senderos---Maldini---Favalli.

edit: Or maybe what Tennie said. Darmian or Mattioni could play on the right with Zambro on the left, they deserve a chance. What about Bonera, is he not available?

I think you're probably right, alberto. It scares me a little because Abate is crazy fast and he'll run circles around Favalli.
Signor Banti will referee the game.
(For zeddie and Locke: Rosetti will referee Chievo-Siena).

Standard training today. Highlights included Kaka, Pato, and Ronaldinho working on shots on goal and assists and Borriello starting to run again (FINALLY).
Tomorrow will be the prematch practice and press conference.

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ Apr 17 2009, 05:09 PM)  Since Inter are going to win the Championship, i hope they beat Inter, and we win, thus overtaking Juve in the standings I'd personally prefer a draw, we'de be level on points with Juve and 2 points closer to Inter IF we win that is. I think that would be the win win situation for us

i hope the starting line up wil be(4-1-2-2-1) : dida Zambrotta maldini senderos Antoninni pirlo seedorf ambrossini pato Ronaldinho Kaka and the second half : pippo will go in place of pato and beckham in place of seedorf so the formation will be then : dida (4-1-2-1-2) Zambrotta maldini senderos Antoninni pirlo beckham ambrossini Ronaldinho Kaka inzaghi i think the score will be 2-0 for milan. (with kaka and R80 scoring) and i think pato when playin on the wing ... each time the ball goes to him ... he passes on 2 or 3 defenders ... so i think if he does that and then cross the ball ... milan will get lots of scoring apportunities...that's all (Holla!)

QUOTE Beckham Benched Again For Milan Against Torino – Report Golden Balls will start on the bench yet again this weekend, according to the latest reports. 17 Apr 2009 00:30:34 Photo GalleryZoom David Beckham - Milan-Atalanta - Serie A (Grazia Neri) Related Links Teams Milan Players David Beckham Milan are preparing for their upcoming clash against Torino this weekend, and it understood that David Beckham is set to sit on the pine for the third consecutive match.
Corriere dello Sport claims that the coach Carlo Ancelotti is keen to field a similar starting eleven to the side that just got over the line against Chievo Verona 1-0 last weekend.
If this is the case, then Beckham is a definite to will be left on the bench, whilst the hero from their most recent outing, Clarence Seedorf, will be given another opportunity to play from the start.
Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini will play alongside Seedorf in the midfield, whilst Alexandre Pato, Filippo Inzaghi and Kaka will be utilised in the attacking positions.
The Rossoneri have a few concerns at the back, however, as Marek Jankulovski will miss through suspension, whilst his usual replacement in Luca Antonini is out injured.
It is rumoured that Ancelotti will play the veteran Giuseppe Favalli on the left, with Paolo Maldini and Philippe Senderos in the middle, and Gianluca Zambrotta on the right. Dida will take his place in goal once again, after his impressive performance last weekend.
Milan host Torino at the San Siro stadium this Sunday, with the play scheduled to get underway at 20:30 CET.
Adrian Del Monte, Goal.com same formation as the chievo match ....

Call ups:
Dida, Kalac Darmian, Favalli, Maldini, Mattioni, Senderos, Zambrotta Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Pirlo Inzaghi, Kakà , Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho
Yet again, Iross will be despondent that Emerson wasn't called up.

Here's the full text of Ancelotti's press conference (translation courtesy of acmilan.com's english page): QUOTE 'It's an important moment of the season, each moment has its own difficulties and importance, tomorrow against Torino as well. We will find a closed down team, but Milan are going through a good moment. I'm not satisfied with the way we're playing, but we are looking for solutions to play better. Will we use the same formation as against Chievo? We will certainly use a diamond formation again in midfield. Torino are a very careful team. They are going through a delicate moment and they are coming here to get points. They will play with attention and application. They have refound these qualities and we'll have to be careful. Tomorrow's doubts are for Maldini but we have Darmian available so he could play.
Abate has grown a lot, he could be in our squad, his only problem is that Milan usually don't play with wide players.
In midfield we will have many choices, Beckham has gotten over a problem to his shoulder which bothered him during training. In front we will have Inzaghi or Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho is doing well, he's working with good rhythm which he showed against Lecce. He was very motivated when he came on and he wanted to give an important contribution to the team, which he wants to do now too. Tomorrow I'll have the chance to meet Dunga. I'm happy because he used to be an opponent and perhaps we can reestablish a direct relationship instead of through the papers.'
'I don't think I will support Inter tonight, but I will have the pleasure of seeing a great match. This week we saw some very good games in the Champions League, let's hope Italian football can offer the same spectacle.'
'The statistics do not always reflect the reality of things. Milan's defence has managed to maintain solidity and reliability, through important performances of certain players, it's not a coincidence that we conceded just one goal in the last three games. Sometimes we didn't develop the play with enough sharpness. We are trying to recover Kaká to make us play faster. Lately his performances haven't been great, let's hope tomorrow he can give an important contribution against Torino. Ricky was out injured for two months and he didn't have the chance to train well. Considering his characteristics he was certainly penalised.
Milan's cycle will end when the property changes, but the squad will be renewed as happens every year, and I don't think it's over. Kaká is a very good observer because Gerrard could be useful to our group. It's not necessary to open a new cycle, we just need the right reinforcements to keep this team competitive.
Borriello can score 20 goals and I think he could score them next year, Marco has been out for a year, but Milan are counting on him for next year. I have the right motivation for next season.
The players don't ask me whether I'll stay, the situation is clear with them, I read Maldini's interview. Every day he asks me what I'll do and I ask him what he will do next year. There isn't any news and there won't be. There is clearness between me and the players, the objective is to finish the season well and get back into the Champions League next year. It's true that I'm taking English lessons, but that's because it's useful for travelling the world not just for coaching.'
'I think Seedorf is an important player who has highs and lows. Quality players aren't always able to express themselves, but Clarence has always been important at delicate times for Milan. Seedorf plays a lot not just for technical reasons, but also because of his personality.'
'The eve of the match against Real Madrid of twenty years ago is a memory that is still alive, it was an important eve. It's nice to be here twenty years later, it's an important eve and tomorrow we hope to do well. Each game has its history, as does every season.'
'For me the derby is the most strongly felt game, even though it depends on the situation of the teams in the standings, it's always an exciting match.'

Seedorf plays a lot not just for technical reasons, but also because of his personality.' Translation: Seedorf is an important player who had highs and is now laying low. Quality players aren't always able to express themselves but Clarence has given a new meaning to this by not even making an effort. Seedorf plays a lot not just because technically I never change the system but also because he's my buddy. QUOTE (MizNelson @ Apr 18 2009, 09:28 PM)  Heh.

I'm actually rather hopeful for this game. Had the gobbi lost today, it would've jinxed the whole thing. I do still worry about Abate running circles around whichever poor sod is put on the left of defense though.

Our defense scares me. Sounds like Ambro-Pirlo-Seedorf is more likely since Carlo loves Seedorf, but expect Seedorf to be subbed out for Ronnie. Why does Ambro get the start?? I knew Flamini would be removed from the starting 11 the moment Ambro regained full fitness, it just goes to show how things are run at Milan (IMG: style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) Flamini was finally really living up to the hype he got at the beginnning of the season and was playing really well, but the moment Ambro is fit he gets the start, even if he has been playing horrible for the past few months... Also would prefer Ronnie to get in ahead of Kaka, he been playing terribly and I think it would be better if he was eased back in rather then being shoved in like we're doing atm

QUOTE (Tennie @ Apr 19 2009, 05:55 AM)  I'm actually rather hopeful for this game. Had the gobbi lost today, it would've jinxed the whole thing. I do still worry about Abate running circles around whichever poor sod is put on the left of defense though. Abate is not all that good in my opinion. Favalli will probably struggle but if Zambro was played on the left he would have no problem. Antonini would also deal with him if he was available.

Maybe Maldini could play out on the left but won't be given and attacking duties. That way Zambro can attack and even go to the midfield to make it 4 accross and Maldini, Favalli and Senderos forming a defensive 3.

We should now take Abate under a close test. Many players who played well against us were take by our board in the past (and I'd call it one of the decisive factors).

QUOTE (han2503 @ Apr 19 2009, 09:38 AM)  Why does Ambro get the start?? I knew Flamini would be removed from the starting 11 the moment Ambro regained full fitness, it just goes to show how things are run at Milan (IMG: style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) Flamini was finally really living up to the hype he got at the beginnning of the season and was playing really well, but the moment Ambro is fit he gets the start, even if he has been playing horrible for the past few months... Also would prefer Ronnie to get in ahead of Kaka, he been playing terribly and I think it would be better if he was eased back in rather then being shoved in like we're doing atm Ambro starts for the same reason Seedorf plays every week - he is another of carlo's favourites (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The sooner we rid ourselves of all this old boys club the sooner we can move onwards and upwards.

Totally agrew with you about the Seedorf part, Iross. However, I actually think Ambrosini is starting (assuming he does) over Flamini because Ambro is better.(IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well. So Flamini and Ambro both.
Sad to see Ancelotti would rather play a midfielder out of position as RB rather than either of the kids on the squad who regularly play that position.

I imagine that even his own shadow scares him... fielding a youngster (not one we've paid 15m for and thus has to play) surely makes him cry. But at least his choice was right in theory. Favalli can't cope with Abate's pace while if Zambro has a good day he will have no problem.

IMO Flamini did a very good job as fullback in Marseille, so...

QUOTE (MizNelson @ Apr 19 2009, 02:03 PM)  Judging from what I've read so far and on other forums, it seems that Torino hasn't had so much as a sniff at our goal yet. 34 minutes in...first show for torino
