[Rossoneri7]

“Injuries are tearing Milan apart, but the team has to look Juve in the eye and show no fear,” Rossoneri legend Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I don’t think they ought to go and press right from their forwards, but not sit back and defend either. They have to play a balanced encounter, just like Gattuso’s men are capable of.

“Rino is a phenomenon, as he has given Milan back their soul. He also makes his team play good and positive football. The only elements his side lacks are a bit of pace and more pressing.

“It’s good that these lads never give in, and keep winning games at the last second. Rino is someone who’d give his life for football and for his players.

“Gattuso has restored dignity to a team that had lost it, he made the players understand what it means to be at Milan.”

This is what Sacchi had to say of Gattuso. Rinho has been on a great run lately. The Juventus game is probably the biggest he has coached so far. This Juve had made two CL finals in the last four years, add to that Christiano. The injuries will be the obstacle he faces going into a very tough fixture.

I wouldn’t count Milan losing to Juventus as a sign of Ringho’s weak position. I truely feel like he will be given a full season. If he delivers a CL birth he would probably be here for a little while longer.

That said, forza Milan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Looking back at this I'm personally just angry at the short end of the stick we were given by the ref. Yes Higuain missed the penalty, but Juve should have been down to 10 men for nearly an hour of play which would have eventually helped our cause. Add to that, according to most outlets, Chiellini's pull on Romagnoli in the box was also another penalty that should have been given to us

I'm not someone who looks at incidents like this and basis the entire match result on them and blames the ref entirely for a bad result. But considering the handicap we were coming into the game with all those injuries and players playing while injured, and the fact we were facing Juve here who are by far the best team in the league, it just p!sses me off how they continually get help from the refs. Any other team and Benatia would have been sent off there, no ifs or buts about it. But sine it's Juve it's not given.

We played a good game imo, considering the opposition and the problems we had going in

The red to Higuain was just adding salt to the wound by a referee who did a terrible overall job


Like I said before the game, we need to keep our eyes on the prize, and this particular game was never going to go in our favour anyway so let's just move on from it and take heart in a good overall performance and show of character
