The San Paolo is a notoriously difficult place to play --- they were sold out even when Napoli were in Serie B. The Napoli fans are very devoted (though 17 fewer of them will be in attendance next weekend most likely; they were arrested for trying to attack the Roma bus after today's game). That said, Milan doesn't have a painfully bad record there, though it goes back to when Napoli were playing in Serie A. Van Basten got 4 goals in one game. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Milan can't screw this one up. They've got to go out and put in the same sort of performance that they did today. And they have to do without Pirlo too; he picked up a yellow and will miss the game. Not sure if anyone from Napoli will be missing.

For Napoli, Blasi and Santacroce will serve 1 match bans for yellow card accumulation.

Yep. Santacroce is very good. Him not playing is a loss for them.

QUOTE (Darunia @ May 4 2008, 04:22 PM) Gazzetta probable lineup: Inzaghi Seedorf Kaka Ambrosini Brocchi Gattuso Favalli Kaladze Nesta Bonera Kalac I wouldn't be surprised if Inzaghi starts up front alone again.. it's been working lately. I wouldn't mind seeing Pato-Inzaghi either, but knowing Carlo... if Favalli can't go then Jankulovski will start, hopefully he's ready. Bonera has been playing solid and will be preferred over Oddo again. i think janku might start. He played really well. but overall i agree with this lineup. Maybe emerson on bench. Its not the best but we have to play to win. dropping seedorf back and bringing in pato in second half is an absolute must!

Peronally I would like to see us start with a 2 man attack, especially without Pirlo it will be harder to create chances
Bonera--Nesta--Kala--Janku ---Rino--Ambro--Seedorf--- ------------Kaka-------------- --------Pippo--Pato-----------

QUOTE (Tennie @ May 5 2008, 08:30 PM) Haha. Thanks, Acid, but I'd be useless at Milan Lab - unless they need someone to ogle Nesta. Hehe, yeah, he can use some ogling. The man was immense yesterday. His sliding tackle on Suazo, the countless clearings, solid defense, even came forward a few times. Can't ask much from a defender. He's the heir of Maldini after all, similar build, similar style. Not quite the standards of God himself, but none to shabby either. Even my English friends term him as probably the best CB in the world. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I still can't believe how we got him from Lazio! Don Silvo at his best.

Today's training has taken place. Lots and lots of work with the ball today: one on ones, mini-games without keepers, mini-games with keepers, etc. Pato and Gilardino scored nice goals in the practice game. Il Capitano and Dida are still hurt. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Inzaghi, Bonera, Gattuso, Seedorf and Kalac did specific work to make a good start to the work in advance of Napoli-Milan. (posting this in the correct match thread now)

The San Paolo isn't a friendly place for opposing teams. That said, Milan have gotten good wins there before and Napoli IS without Santacroce. It's a bigger hit than it would be to most teams, because Napoli usually lines up 3-4-3 or 3-5-2.
Might not be a bad idea to play a 4-3-1-2 for this one though....the Xmas Tree has been doing really well and I wouldn't want to jinx that.

^^ Yep. Blasi is suspended. Also, Zalayeta is on the injured list and that dents their strike capabilities.
(Also of note but not related to this particular game is the fact that Toto Di Natale is 'diffidati' -- which means that he'll be suspended for the Udinese game if he picks up a yellow this Sunday).

There were two training sessions today. The first session was individualized work in small groups. The second session included defensive drills, possession drills, and a practice game.
Dida, Il Capitano, and Favster trained in the gym.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Janku FINALLY starting this one.

QUOTE (pKillerMax @ May 7 2008, 11:52 PM) The closest thing to Pirlo in Serie A. I don't think Napoli will let him go at any cost though(at least nothing Milan would be willing to pay). Napoli have a vision for the future and Hamsik is one one their main backbones along with Santacroce and maybe Lavezzi too. All true. QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ May 8 2008, 12:43 AM) I must congratulate Napoli's transfer guru for bringing them all. I hope to see a world class Napoli side in the future, like the good old days We should be doing the same. Maybe this guy wants double the money he gets!?? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh yeah!

^^^ especially with dst.
What he does is he'll make this totally meaningless post. And once you complain....go back edit it to make sense and say.. 'Whatcho talkin about Gary?'. Needless to say you'll go back re-read and think you were a little slow at first.

QUOTE Milan defender Daniele Bonera is already focused on the next league game against Napoli this weekend in the 37th matchday of Serie A, as last Sunday’s win against Inter is now in the past...
The Rossoneri need to win their last two league games in order to be certain of finishing fourth in Serie A, and last weekend’s derby win against the Nerazzurri has definitely been the right morale booster in that regard.
However, according to Bonera, Milan have already forgotten that game and are now concentrating solely on their upcoming, decisive clashes.
"The win was surely a positive note, but we are already looking towards the difficult game on Sunday at Naples," declared the former Parma defender.
"Napoli is a team which have proven themselves able to play good games," he continued.
"For them it will be the last home game in front of a very warm crowd and they will want to do well," concluded Bonera. I really do think we're taking this seriously and not being complacent. We better be...too much to lose. 25 million is not gonna become smaller with no CL next season.

Today's training has taken place.
Warmups, drills, and 'calcio-tennis' were the order of the day.
Il Capitano and Dida worked in the gym.
Favster did separate work in the Sand Pit Of Doom.
Bonera did some specific work instead of the drills but took part in the 'calcio-tennis'.

dst's gender is one of the great mysteries of life, Trini. However, it's been explored in another thread: link (start at post #68). As for watching the Napoli game, those of you who have access to streaming, please keep an eye out. Napoli is the only club in Serie A that didn't sign along with the tv rights thing, so games at the San Paolo aren't (to my knowledge) being (legally) broadcast outside Italy. For those who understand italian, Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli may be doing voice commentary. Note: I don't know if it'll be in standard Florentine Italian or in dialect. And the Neapolitan dialect...well, it's very difficult for those who don't live there to understand. To the extent that it's often subtitled for other Italians.

Today's training has taken place.
Everyone wished Marek a happy birthday.
Today's training included warmups, stretching, ball possession exercises and a practice game.
Favster trained with the group. Nobody else was mentioned by name.
Tomorrow will be Carletto's press conference, the call-up list, and the flight to Naples.

Carletto's press conference has taken place. Highlights:
* Gourcuff took a knock in training; that's why he wasn't called up. * Favster has recovered and should start on the left. * He thinks it'd be very difficult for Amauri to arrive in Milan. * Milan hasn't given up on possible negotiations for Drogba. * Paloschi's future (whether he stays at Milan or is loaned out to get more playing experience) will in part depend on who comes in during the transfer season. * Milan will renew Ronaldo's contract if he recovers.

QUOTE (whoarethepatriots @ May 10 2008, 11:04 PM) Should we renew, Cafu's Favalli's Serginho's (Dida's?) and Ba's too? No most if not all of these players should be released Having a crippled Ronaldo who eats away at the wage structre is no good, money is being thrown away in vain. We are a football club before a hub of sincerity and sentimentality, i just wished the board knew this too No of course, if it was my call I would rather save up (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But this is the philosophy of the club .. If he can make a comeback to football, they will renew with him. Cafu, Sergio, etc Milan have continued to renew their contracts. Cafu for obvious reasons ... Bottom line, the management know what they are doing. But in all honesty he is payed a LOT for a player on the sidelines. Still, sentimentally he picked Milan up last season while Oli and Gila were picking their noses (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Just open the link with your internet browser. If it's not working then your browser also needs a WMP add-on or something... maybe the Windows IE doesn't need it, I don't know... Or maybe you're a Mac user?
