It's funny how Dida makes a mistake (to be honest one more mistake) and people drag him down to Kalac's and Storari's level saying he shouldn't play against Celtic!

Wake up!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Exactly. Last season he played much worse but this season he is much more stable. We don't have another keeper that even close to his class.

Anyway we will win this game for sure. 2:0 with Gila scoring one of the goals.

ehm ... Some ppl actually believe Storari is better (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Lost cause, if u ask me (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Were just saying that maybe Dida's intentions aren't in the right place. He is moving to barcelona garunteed. So he might just think that he can take it easy and not give a shiet. What better than to please barca and kick milan out of CL for next year eh? Well lets just hope its not liek that and hes got milan pride burning within him (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nakamura Warns Celtic About Milan Antics Shunsuke Nakamura has warned his Celtic team-mates to be careful of AC Milan’s antics during Wednesday’s Champions League second leg at the San Siro Stadium.
The two teams fought out a 0-0 draw two weeks ago in Glasgow in the second round tie, and the midfielder who spent three years in Serie A with Reggina, is hoping that a strong referee is in charge of the game.
The inspirational playmaker was not surprised that Alberto Gilardino was booked for diving in the first leg and wants similar officiating on Wednesday.
"Before the Milan game at Celtic Park I warned Stephen McManus and Darren O'Dea not to dive in from behind with tackles on Gilardino,” the Japanese international told the Sunday Mail.
“I knew he would go to ground easily - that's the way he is. That's the way all Italian strikers are. He is a good player - clever when it comes to being in and around the box, if you know what I mean. We will have to be careful of this in the San Siro. Giving away free-kicks around the area will be dangerous because of Andrea Pirlo's skill from that distance.
"I just hope we get a strong referee who doesn't stand for any cheating. I know from my time in Italy that it goes on.
"We've had good officials so far in the Champions League and will need another one on Wednesday."
Nakamura has never won during his six visits to the San Siro but knows that thanks to away goals, a draw could be enough for Celtic.
"If we are treated fairly we have a good chance of getting a result. If we can score first it will give us a great advantage. But even if Milan score first we still only need one goal to go through to the quarter-finals.
"I've played at the San Siro against AC Milan and Inter and the best result I got was a draw.
"Knocking out a team like Milan would be my greatest achievement in football.
"People will be sitting up in Japan watching the game at 3am and I hope to make it worth their while.
"To get a good result we must make sure we do not allow Kaka and Pirlo to play freely. Neil Lennon and Evander Sno looked after them well in the first game and we'll have to do the same."

Gila wary of Celtic threat

Milan striker Alberto Gilardino has warned his teammates against underestimating Celtic in their Champions League tie on Wednesday.

The Rossoneri go into the second leg as favourites, having held the Scottish club to a goalless home draw two weeks ago, but the former Parma man knows that the clash will not be an easy one.

“We must not underestimate Celtic and we won’t, they have been playing well this year and have won a lot,” said Gilardino.

“This will be a very important game for us, we have to try to score and win,” added the world champion, who was pleased with UEFA’s decision to confirm San Siro’s full capacity of 67,500 for the match.

“Hopefully, we will have the full support of our fans, we need them. Supporters are fundamental and really important to us.”

Milan earned an important win 3-1 over Chievo on Saturday, when they managed to come back after conceding a goal to the Verona-based side thanks to a howler by goalkeeper Nelson Dida.

“I am pleased I scored the equaliser, it was important in helping us turn the game around. This is an important result in view of the match with Celtic.

“We are still alive and our morale is good, we showed strength and the necessary determination to come back from a goal down,” concluded Gilardino.

The Rossoneri, who have not lost in 14 matches and are sixth on the table with 40 points, three points shy of a Champions League spot.

Miller Wants Milan Scalp

Kenny Miller is not yet sure whether he will play a part in Celtic's clash against Milan on Wednesday, but is keen to help see off Milan at the San Siro, and make it into the quarter-finals.


"I'm going into the game with two goals in two games so hopefully I'll play a part in the game," said the Celtic striker.

"It's a different game from the week-in, week-out of the SPL, where teams do come and make it hard for you.

"It has been tough and goals have been hard to find, whereas the Champions League is a lot more open.

"The teams do expect to win against Celtic. They look at the Scottish league and think it should be an easy game for them.

"But we have shown this season, especially at home, what we are about in the Champions League and we really have flourished in it."

Miller got past Nesta and Cannavaro in a Euro qualifier against Italy, and is looking to call upon that experience, this time at club level.


"That day it was Nesta and Cannavaro at the back, who are two of the best defenders in the world," he recalled.
"When you play like that against them, it does give you confidence that you can play well and put a performance in the next time you play against players like that.

"We believe we can go there and have a right good chance. If we can get the goal, it will be game on.

"They came here expecting to beat us so they're definitely going to expect to beat us in their own backyard.

"But everybody in the team is going to be up for it and whoever is selected on the night will go there believing we can get the right result to get us through to the next stage."

According to this circumstances it could be real thriller game if Celtic will somehow grab a goal. Remember Milan - Ajax, 2002/2003? CL 1st knockout round away 0:0, and then at home -> 3:2 for Milan after Pippo's goal in additional time?

Yeah .. But that was in the quarter finals ... I doubt Celtic have the means to progress any further. On paper the haver no chance against Milan .. And on their turf, we should have score 3 goals !!

So I dont think it will be a dramatic tie, nor will it be a high scoring game ... We will pass them and move to the next stage with ease (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

Nakamura Warns Celtic About Milan Antics....

Whatever respect I had for him is now lost.

Steriotyping every Italian player because of a dive is just stupid.

Yes Gila dived but so what??!! It's part of football and saying that only Italians do it is wrong.
If Jorasik hadn't made that awful dive against Man U to get the free kick then they would have never progressed to this stage to begin with.

He should really take a look at his own team before running his mouth off, and he shouldn't be one to speak either, since he goes down faster then SIMONE Inzaghi at times (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[redbabies]

guys, dont be so sure about this match.
I mean we are the favouritues and probably we'll win, but dont forget that there's a lot of pressure on the players.
Its the only trophy that Milan can win this year and its a MUST-WIN match.
And, much worse the history of last 3-4 years tells that exaclty these kind of matches (after a 0-0 away-draw) seems to be the hardest.

I would love so much to be crowned champions this year (actually more than ever), because of many problems that we had. And I dont want to wake up from that dream against Celtic.
