CESARE NATALI: 'Milan have to know it won't be an easy game for them'
11/21/2008

MILAN - Torino's official website reports the declarations made today during a press conference by defender Cesare Natali at the end of the training session ahead of Sunday's game against the Rossoneri: "I think that Milan's complete star is Seedorf: from a tactical, technical and personality point of view. We will need to have courage, independently from the fact we are meeting Milan, because we are playing at home and because we know we have weapons at our disposal. We will have to try and deny them space, make them feel our breath on their necks, make sure we always manage to stop their moves. Milan must know it won't be an easy game for them."

This is what I was talking about in the Sacchi thread the other day. it happens almost every game, opponent players warning us that they will cause us problems, it won't be easy for us, etc.

We're a well respected side (more than Juve [hated for Calciopoli & cheating] and Inter [always hated]) but nowadays smaller teams don't seem to fear us that much anymore. they know we never play up to our real potential.

Couldn't have put it better myself, even if I tried. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Teams are in the mood when they play us, thinking they're in with a chance. And they are, to be honest, bar that late goal, or lucky strike. I'm not complaining, but if we turn a blind eye and think everything's okay, then it will hurt us in the long run. Quote me on this.

carlo conference said that kaka will start, pirlo maybe, zambrotta like last week situation will be evluated then what i understood he said ka-pa-ro is hard to use with ka-r80 we need a box stiker then he commented on sheva that he is getting better but there is a lot of competetion....... so it mean that carlo is most likly to start with pippo again our weakest stiker and he will play with as usual 2 DMs bcoz pirlo may be is gonna mean that he will come of the bench

For the love of God just start Sheva already.
We know he's got class so just let him do what
he does best, score a $%*#load of goals

training report for today..everyone except Zambrotta took part in full training he will not travel due to a stiff neck, after a group meeting intense tactical training took place with time diveded between tactical ball possession and then using different offensive and defensive shapes Mr.Ancelotti used and rotated all players finally free-kicks and shooting practise finished the session

Here is the list of the 20 summoned to Turin:

Abbiati, Dida, Kalac, Antonini, Bonera, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Maldini, Senderos, Emerson, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Inzaghi, Kakà, Pato, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho.

[Fillipo Simone]

Anyone mentioned that Stefano Farina will be referee?

ambro also still inured if we play one stiker then i hope we have a midfield or seedorf-rino-pirlo

Because like Miz and acid said in the Sheva thread, Carlo stillhas issues with Sheva, therefore that means we'll see him only on rare occasions this season.

He'll keep saying he's improving every week but that it's still not enough. Meanwhile he's feilding Pippo ahead of him or Pato.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

pippo was a gr8 player but now i think he is quite useless now he can only score when a tap in or one on one with this mentality get ready for 1-0 wins or even 0-0 draws

It's not that I think he's useless, but that he would be more useful when played next to a second striker. Sure you need more of a box player at the head of the xmas tree but that would be someone like Boriello who is a target man, not like Pippo, a poacher that doesn't aid the team in any way unless we're in the opposition's box.

I agree. Playing Pippo to a SS like Sheva would make much more sense. Still, Pippo of all other strikers never is useless.

basically i meant that pippo as a loner in christmas tree is useless

Oh boy, can't funking wait for today's match! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I was hoping inter to drop points yesterday, but either they're aware of their strength, or the crap Juve aren't of theirs. It was a stupid match, yesterday, what with 2 of the 3 best teams of Serie A giving such a lousy performance.

Forza Milan! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)
