QUOTE Inzaghi: 'It's not the end
Pippo Inzaghi will be out for six months after knee surgery, but the 37-year-old insists: “I will do everything to ensure this is not the end.”
The Milan star sustained ligament damage during last night’s 3-1 win over Palermo and will require an operation, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
“Life and football are like this. One minute you’re playing and fighting, the next you’re clutching your knee in your hands,” he wrote on the official club website.
“A minute after that you are looking around you. What I saw around me was all of you. Thank you.
“I have been moved by all of you, the club, the Coach, my teammates and fans. I look to you and in turn you embrace me.”
There are fears the 37-year-old might not be able to play professional football again after such a serious injury at his age.
“Deep down in your hearts you all know, as do I, that it will be difficult, but I won’t give up. I will do everything, believe me, to ensure this is not the end.
“I will do that in part thanks to your strength and energy.”
The knee specialist who will perform the surgery also agreed Inzaghi could recover to play again.
“The recovery time is around five to six months, so we can safely say the season is over,” Dr Piero Volpi told MilanNews.it.
“With the right surgery and a good plan of recovery, Inzaghi will be available to start the next competitive campaign.
“His age will have absolutely no bearing on the matter. I found the player to be perfectly healthy in every other respect so, save for complications, he should respect the recovery timetable.” Football-Italia.net

The result of the medical exam carried out this afternoon is tough to swallow, but it can’t mean the end of Filippo Inzaghi’s career. No way. Go Pippo!!! You’ll be back! Like always before.
It can’t be the end and it won’t be the end. Pippo is in our hearts, as much as we are in his, We Milanisti, we sports lovers. Because it was for his beloved sport that Filippo Inzaghi often denied the laws of nature. The memories of the recent Milan-Real Madrid match are so vivid, that it’s hard to believe that the match against Palermo can be his last game this season. But it can’t be the last of his career. A career, the career of Filippo Inzaghi, that commands respect and admiration. In these moments all Milan supporters are worried, but we know that you’ll be back. A man like you won’t give up, it wouldn't be worthy of you. Inzaghi doesn’t surrender. Forza Pippo and Forza Milan! The difficulties of these hours will give us strength for the whole season. Exactly like you’ve taught us: we are not afraid. And most of all, see you soon, Champion! FORZA PIPPO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.acmilan.com/en/news/show/130661

Ha. This is Pippo. Not just Pippo...SuperPippo. It's not even a question for me. He's gonna be back next season and he'll bench Pato.....again! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) No way that Spanish wuss is gonna have more European goals than Pippo. Pippo can play till he is 50 for all I care. I can never say goodbye to that man!

Also, Schalke seems to have a terrible season. I hope they won't reach CL/Europa League and the matter is settled.

QUOTE (servbot @ Nov 11 2010, 11:24 PM)  That would be pretty cool.
Han - I think he is up one now because I thought he was down one before the Madrid game, but I don't really know for sure. There's a difference between European goals (CL and Uefa Cup) and CL goals. I think Pippo is the record breaker for European goals, not CL

QUOTE (MizNelson @ Nov 22 2010, 10:57 AM)  There is a LONG "fan letter" page devoted to Pippo on milannews.it. LinkNow, I like Pippo and all, but it's pretty sad, actually. He hurt his knee playing football and not by storming the beach at Normandy. I don't remember any other Milan player getting this kind of reaction after suffering an injury of this magnitude that kept them on the shelf for awhile. Maybe we'll see a banner in the Curva one day with his name on it.... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) and i bet most of them are written by his admirers more then football fanatics lol
