QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Apr 6 2007, 06:43 PM) (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Bluesummers named him Porty I think. I just started calling him that. And why do you think it's gay??!!! You blokes are all homophobic! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I really can't see us going through. Last seaso maybe. But this season, there has been nothing to convince me we can do this. We've had to 'fight back' against teams we would have steam-rollered earlier, and we've lost to teams we would have severely mauled. It's possible on paper...but paper's just that. Very true Jack. I myself have already prepared myself for being knocked out so I won't be as disappointed. Last Tuesday's game was devastating, especially after probably playing our best game in months and still coming out wih the short end of the stick. Van Buyten's goal was probably the nail in the coffin for our CL campaign. I mean when BAYERN, of all teams, somehow get lucky against us, MILAN, TWICE over the course of one game, then you know that this is just not our season

Well, I really must say that no option is sure or even realistic. If you look at Milan, on paper or not, they can beat Bayern. But the same works if you make an inversion. And that`s the thing with big teams that play not that big. The situation at FCB is very similar to ours, they have sever problems and not every position in the team is filled up probperly. Who scored against Real besides Maakay? Van Bommel who turned over night into a Ballack replacement...and Lucio! Against us..still - Lucio. Schwein is underpreforming, just like Lahm and Poldi do. So why couldn`t we beat them with our own "fake Sheva replacement" Oliveira? It goes to our advantage that Salihamidžić is suspended and not avaible - the only real countable creative force for FCB at this moment. Our team should be formed this time more like a crafty-cohesive force, a team with strenght. Cause that`s what we`v showed at San Siro - that we have a advantage in the mid. I would really give Maldini the bench this time cause we need a faster and much less exhausted CB. You allways can count on that Lyon effect from last year, when Maldini entered the game from the bench. But starting with him means that we will eventually have to substitute him (or maybe Carlo is insane, cause, letting Maldini play 90 mins is one of the reasons we "lost" the first match). And that sub would be rather a minus and a psychological deficite than any advantage... I`m very interested what the news are about Serginho? Can he play for real at München?

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Apr 7 2007, 01:59 PM) What do u mean bench Maldini !!!!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) No, Maldini should be the first player to be on the pitch. And why? So that Carlo has to make a sub lets say in th 75th minute where it could be easily a "be-or-not-be" position for us? Or do you think Maldini can hold up all 90 minutes? I don`t...I`ve seen all what I needed at San Siro. The only way to win against FCB is to play a stormy and powerfull match. And for that we need strenght and freshness. Maldini should be on the bench, and enter the game afterwards...

(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Paolo Maldini is the first player on the pitch and the last off as far as I am concerned. You know why ?? Cuz not even Silvio Berlusconi take him off ! This team is Paolo's team and if he doesn't feel fit to play, he will say it and he will choose not to go on the field. p.s. no offence, but this is Milan 101, Paolo is the only one who decides if he wants to play and not, and no one else. If the doctors clear him, he will play 90 minutes. I can bet u money on that.

QUOTE Ancelotti rides Empoli wave Carlo Ancelotti hopes that the victory over Empoli can boost Milan’s morale for the “very difficult†clash with Bayern Munich.
“We started well and passed the ball around quickly, so the strikers were supported by some good build-up play,†he noted after the 3-1 win at San Siro.
Ronaldo opened the scoring and set up Alberto Gilardino’s goal before Giuseppe Favalli sealed the scoreline. Luca Saudati netted for the visitors.
“If he has space, Ronaldo can disturb any defence. If he has another striker to focus on like Gilardino, then he links in with the overall play even more.â€
Yoann Gourcuff was given a rare start in midfield, as Clarence Seedorf is dealing with a slight injury.
“He is a lad Milan are counting on, because he has enormous potential. He has found his own role here and will continue to increase his influence.
“He has to speed up a little in passing the ball, but he has a lot of confidence with the ball at his feet and it’s tough to get it off him. He loves the ball a little too much, a bit like Zinedine Zidane.â€
Ancelotti was expected to also rest Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final, but instead they played the whole 90 minutes.
“They are in great shape and also did well against Bayern this week, which is why I wanted them here for this important match.â€
The win over Empoli sees the Rossoneri move to fifth place – just one point off Palermo who have played an extra game – but the focus now moves to Munich.
“Bayern are an excellent side and we have a tough task ahead of us,†said Ancelotti after the 2-2 first leg draw at San Siro.
“Our objective is to play the way we did in that first game. If we do, then we have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals.â€
However, Ronaldo is cup-tied and Gilardino suspended, so Pippo Inzaghi and Ricardo Oliveira are the only available options upfront.
“Inzaghi is not in good shape, but he will do everything he can to be at his best. This is a player who can be a crucial weapon for us.†I think that seals our faith for us in this season's CL (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE (han2503 @ Apr 8 2007, 12:14 AM) I'm optimistic. Even with no actual forwards, Kaka will play upfront. I believe we can win in Munich!! Just go bow before your Milan shirt and kiss the badge and your attitude will change. It works for me...

But I had a real sinking fealing that Van Buyten's equaliser on Tuesday was the end for us in the CL.
