Blog: Goalless heroQUOTE Marco Borriello didn’t get his name on the scoresheet, but Giancarlo Rinaldi insists he was the key man in Milan’s 4-1 win over Lazio (IMG: http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/blogs/borriellogr460.jpg) Some people seem to have missed a vital point about Milan’s Sunday night triumph over Lazio. Dazzling goals from the likes of Pato and Kaka appear to have blinded them to a star performance. He may not have found the net, but Marco Borriello was absolutely key to the victory. The former Genoa man has given the Rossoneri something that they lacked. He is both a target man and a willing worker – something which Carlo Ancelotti has not had at his disposal for an eternity. It was thanks to his efforts that a lot of gaps opened up for the 'flair players' in the Milanese ranks. If he can maintain this form it would be a real redemption story for the boy in red and black. Throughout his early 20s the club never had any faith in him and sent him out on loan across the country where he failed to prove the doubters wrong. Then, in 2006, he failed a drugs test and was later moved on to Genoa. Bizarrely, it seems to have been the making of him. He has come back a more determined player – perhaps realising the gift he had risked throwing away. His time with the Rossoblu pushed him back into Italy contention and that should continue if he keeps playing for Milan in such barnstorming fashion. It would be ironic indeed if he was to eclipse the likes of Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko in the weeks ahead. Of course, it is early days but the signs were encouraging. Big Marco was willing to fight for every ball and allowed a new route of attack for the Rossonero midfielders. His attitude, compared to some of the big earners, was very refreshing indeed. Nobody should be getting too carried away since one victory over Lazio will not turn around Milan’s season on its own. However, if Borriello could turn out to be a 20-goal man this season at San Siro it would raise his credibility considerably. At the moment, he is just another one of those strikers who has flourished in the provinces. By moving to Lombardy, the stakes are a lot higher, but he could well find himself picking up a few major trophies in the years to come. Football Italia

So it seems that Marco has broken up with his girlfriend Belen Rodriguez. Belen was on a reality show (Isola dei Famosi) for 10 weeks, during which time she had a 'flirtation' with one of the guys on the island. She's back in Milan now and is living in the flat she and Marco used to share. Marco, it seems, is now living in a new flat a couple of blocks away.
