Coppa Italia 2006/07 - 1/2 final (1st leg)

Milan v Roma

Thursday, 25th of January 2007

Time: 20:00 (UK), 21:00 (IT)

Here we are in the semi-final. 1st leg in San Siro.

Prediction: 0-0.

[berenike_10]

I think milan can pull up this one out, but the victory will be with the minimum advantage

1-0 for milan, in this game in think kaka should play at leats the first or the second half, and use pirlo and seedorf, hopefully thay can score more that one goal

[milanistar]

Isn't the first leg in Roma? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Thanks for the info brou

[milanista88]

aaaah its gonna be tough match to say the least.
Totti has been saving Roma's *** lately on close calls.
I think we can win this 2-1

[Rossoneri7]

I predict Milan will qualify to the final .. Though it isn't worth anything compared to what Milan had won in the past .. I wont be pulling out on my hair or anything if we didnt qualify; although I predict Milan will so .. Go figure

[Bluesummers]

i'm gonna go 6-0 for roma (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)



Ps: j/k i'd say roma will win this 2-0 though thinking realistically

ITALIAN CUP: KICK-OFF TIME CHANGE

The Football League have announced that Milan Italian Cup semi-final at home to Roma will kick-off at 9.15pm CET and not 9pm CET has previously announced.

Anybody know if Rai Due will be showing that matches?

I hope Carlo will let him play!

[milanistar]

Him and Kaka' should play at least 45 mns

[Portman]

I think it's too early for Oddo. Maybe next weekend vs. Parma.

[han2503]

I think it's too early for Oddo. Maybe next weekend vs. Parma.

Why? It's not like he isn't match fit or anything like that.

The Coppa game is the perfect place to start for him.

I think it's too early for Oddo. Maybe next weekend vs. Parma.

I too think it's too early. It's not a matter of fitness. It's a matter of good timing and helping the player settle. I definitely think he shouldn't play. Maybe the last 5 minutes...

yeah i agree 100%. He hasnt even played with the team yet and you want him to start lol (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . There are things called tactics and getting used to the idea of not being il capitano anymore

Oh yeah?? So these things do not apply to a 20 year old Argentinian by the name Grimi who has never played in Europe before, right?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Grimi played against that Brikhjakhdkafh team(only in the second half) after a couple sessions of training. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[milanistar]

Grimi also played against Arezzo!

There is no reason for Oddo to not play this game, I mean he's a RB not some stirker who has to deal with his partner in the front of the goal, plus he's not a kid and can adjust easily (since it's basically it's the same role he had at Lazio, offensive RB) !

I'm sure he'll play (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Ancelotti’s Final Countdown

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has warned semi-final opponents Roma that reaching the Coppa Italia Final is a major objective.

The Rossoneri welcome the capital giants to the San Siro for the first leg on Thursday and Ancelotti is looking forward to the challenge which the Giallorossi will present them.

“First of all, we can talk about anything except Massimo Oddo, Ronaldo or tomorrow’s starting line-up,” joked Ancelotti as the pre-match Press conference kicked-off.

“The semi-final will be very interesting because we will face a very strong team, one who defeated us in the championship.

“We are also approaching the first objective of the season. Christian Panucci said that Roma want to reach the Final, but so do we!

“We have recovered some of our injured players and we have obtained some good results, considering the fact that we played two delicate games against Fiorentina and Lazio recently.”

Ancelotti admitted that he will field an attacking formation which will include Ricardo Oliveira, who has been linked with a move given his disappointing performances since his summer arrival.

“We will play with three forwards,” noted the tactician. “I believe this game can be a good opportunity for Oliveira’s comeback.

“He is doing well in training, but is having some difficulty in games.”

Ancelotti finally commented on Valon Behrami’s dangerous challenge on Alberto Gilardino during the match against Lazio at the weekend.

“It was the only mistake in a game where the referee did well. It was a very bad foul, but I believe it was due to tiredness and not because of a desire to injure someone.

“It’s not always easy to be objective with fouls. It’s possible to change your opinion on them once you see them on television.”

[X-Offender]

Since Carlo said they will be playing with 3 forwards, I presume Kakà might start from the beginning, so he can recover his form quick.

My starting 11 for tomorrow would be:

Storari
Cafu Bonera Costacurta Grimi
Ambrosini
Brocchi Gourcuff
Kakà
Oliveira Inzaghi

[KillerMax]

My formation:

-----------------Dida----------------------
--Cafu----Simic---Bonera--Jankulovski
---------Brocchi-------Ambrosini---------
-----------------Gourcuff------------------
---------Kaka--------------Oliveira-------
----------------Inzaghi--------------------

I heard Jankulovski's got some light injury problems so he may not be disposable for tomorrow. But for the rest of the line up, I like it.

That's because it was originally your idea (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

[han2503]

My team for tonight

Cafu--Bonera--Simic--Maldini
-Brocchi--Gourcuff--Seedorf-
--------------Kaka-------------
------Oliveira--Inzaghi-------

I heard Janku has some problems, so Paolo will probably have to play as LB since we have no one else for that position, and I don’t think playing Grimi from the beginning against Roma is such a good idea.
Kaka needs to get some matches in his legs because we need him at his best for this part of the season.

[Costacurta]

I think we desperately need to win the Coppa Italia, and stop Inter.

I would go for:

----------------------Dida----------------------
Cafu-----Bonera----------Costacurta-----Maldini
-----Ambrosini------Pirlo------Gourcuff---------
--------------------Kaka---------------------
----------Oliveira--------Inzaghi


I am concerned about the possible lack of pace/tiredness at the back on the left, however Simic and Grimi should be ready to come on if required.

I hope Pirlo is fit and if so I would definately play him. Otherwise bring in Seedorf.

[HasanHasanly]

I think this is going to be a really fast game, so I would not rely on Billy and Cafu. Let Grimi play! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

[Bluesummers]

I dont think grimi can handle this level yet, but who knows he might be able to. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

yep i wasnt too excited at getting him at first but then i saw him get out of the car with galliani and that made me pretty happy. but for 4.7 million euros... well getting a legend for that much is a steal. considering he still has a good 2-3 years left in him. i mean a ronaldo in form would easily be a starter for real, they barely gave him a chance this year.

OLI MUST STAY WITH US FOR A LONG TIME!!! This guy has got it in him!!!!!!!!!!!

roma's attack looks lively tho, and our def... a lil shaky. which isnt good considering allowing an away goal or two could decide this tie.

For those who think Ambro shouldn't have played against Lazio cause his too defensive, just watch the match and what he brings for the team (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
