should be a nice game for Milan but who's playing?

Foggia, Gourcuff... ?

I want to see the 2nd one in action.

Wasn't this game cancelled??

I'm really disappointed I really wanted to see Gourcouff and Foggia play

EDIT!!!

Yep. It was cancelled. No match vs. Lecco.

Btw dude, it's Gourcuff.

Fixed

reedit man it's Gourcuff!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I hope he'll make us learn to spell his name correctly!!!!

MAAN I can't get his name right in this damn post. All players should have names like Kaka or Pirlo nothing with 2 vowels next to eachother, otherwise it gets all confusing

This match has now been put back to 2nd August at 20:30 Italian time, instead of being cancelled! YAY!!!

YEESSS can't wait

What's the point of this game ? Is it just a friendly or a tim cup thing ?!

What's the point of this game ? Is it just a friendly or a tim cup thing ?!

It's a friendly

How can we watch?

20.30: LECCO-MILAN AMICHEVOLE. In diretta su Milan Channel dallo stadio Rigamonti-Ceppi di Lecco il primo test stagionale del Milan

Anyone... Milan channel?!

MILAN - 1st eleven : Dida; Brocchi, Favalli, Costacurta, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Gourcuff; Inzaghi, Gilardino

Using Favalli as a CB, and Brocchi RB?!

Inzaghi has scored to make it 1-0 to Milan

Pls, update it Portugal!!!

Watching the match? I'm following from the italian version of the official site.

Was a good goal?

I heard it was a little dink over the 'keeper. I think Gourcuff played the ball to Seedorf from the left and Seedorf played it through to Pippo.

Rete 4? Milanchannel?

I think Milanchannel is the only one showing it.

Than you're a lucky bast@rd...

Sport TV (Portuguese Sports Channel) only shows Inter losing (vs. Monaco and Tottenham), Man Utd and Real Madrid.

It has the Lecco match, but it was cancelled b/c of the date.

HT: 0-1 Inzaghi

I haven't got Milanchannel as I live in England

Half time substitutions:
bonera
vogel
amoroso
foggia

out : Gilardino Inzaghi Gattuso Ambrosini

So... you're following from the website?

Just because you annouce the Inzaghi goal before it appeared on the official (on my browser at least).

Hows the game so far? How is Bonera .. Did Gourcuff get his chanc to play (if so how was his performance)?

Is anybody actually watching the game live? I have to wait til midnight to see it on Rete 4, if so how are Gourcuff and Foggia doing?

Trawl the web my friend, the answers are out there

It is now 2-0 to Milan as Borriello scored and Lecco missed a penalty(Costacurta's fault).

I heard Gourcuff did well in the first half but was fading towards the end of the half. Don't know about Foggia though.

Great, was Boriello's goal good (are you watching it live?)

EDIT asked the same question sry

FT: Lecco 0-2 Milan (Inzaghi, Borriello)

PS: damned I_Rossoneri, you could have posted the stream...

There was a stream for this match??

"Trawl the web my friend, the answers are out there" - I_Rossoneri

Guess it was or something like a stream...

Hmm interesting, he might have been listening to a radio stream or found a livescore website that was covering the game.

Who knows the mystery of the week.

Alright, I watched the entire match on Milan Channel. In the first half it was raining crazy just like one year ago against Ascoli, so the match began with 15 minutes of delay. But in the second half the rain stoped. Anyway, I saw a good match, especially by Seedorf who was the padron of the midfield. Also, other players who impressed me were Jankulovski, Gourcuff and Borrielo. Jankulovski played as left defender, and was very active in both the defensive and attacking maneuvers. Gourcuff played a very good match, as left midfielder, but then during the match alternated in all the positions of the midfield. He kicked all the corners (which were very precise) and one thing that caught my attention was his ability with the ball. He was very elastic and fast, but also a bit fragile. So I think he'll have to improve in his physic potential. Borrielo, was very strong and impulsive, played as lone striker and scored a nice goal. Other players that did well were Favalli, Costacurta, Foggia and Amoroso (who gave the assist to Borrielo). Lecco also lost a penalty, kicked out. Dida played all the match and did good. Also, I don't think Brocchi as right back could work. I don't know, he didn't convince me.

It wasn't a stream I was looking through forums. If there was a stream I would have watched it myself.

Borriello took a pass from Amoroso and hit a left foot shot into the roof of the net.

Thanks for the summary X-Offender. I'll try and find the goals and post them in the video section...

Yeah... the highlights would be good.

Thanks for the recap, I'm glad that seedorf played well (he is the one who normally sleeps when playing small teams, I think he will try to prove something to the doubters this season) and I'm glad that Gourcuff and Foggia impressed you. I won't both of them to play against red star. Do you know what formation Carlo was using, I'm assuming he was experimanting a lot

Oh and if Boriello played well I might have to rethink my decision about if I agree with him going to Lazio to get Oddo. Hmm, it's a head scratcher

Well mystery over

That's why you said you where trawling around

I must say, again, I really like this seasons kit. Now in action, it's even better.

In the beginning he used the 4-3-1-2 scheme with Ambrosini as defensive midfielder, Gattuso on the right, Gourcuff on the left and Seedorf as attacking midfielder. But then he changed a lot.

Just got back from watching the match, I've got to say that Gourcuff really impressed me in the first half, he was everywhere and seemed to be involved in all of the plays, plus his linking up with Seedorf was amazing it was like they had been playing together for a few years already, but in the 2nd half he kind of faded away, but I noticed that Carlo was playing him really deep in the 2nd half, almost like Pirlo.

Foggia did good although he came on in the 2nd half and was getting into the game slowly.

But I've got to say our defense needs a lot of work, I can't imagine us playing against Red Star with that back line, they kept making mistakes, and the only reason we didn't concede was because we where playing a cr@ppy team.

Seedorf was my only surprise he was fantastic in the first half and was everywhere, and he normally is the one falling asleep when playing the small teams, so let's hope that that new number 10 on his back gives him extra motivation. Ambrosini, Gila and Pippo also did well. Gila seemed to be playing as a bit of a withdrawn striker but still did well and kept making those little back passes he usually does that lead to 2 chances for Pippo. And Ambrosini played some great through balls and was solid in the defensive midfielder role

All in all it was a really cagy game, everyone was having a hard time finding his feet and the game couldn't settle into a rythm in the beginning, the last part of the second half was Carlo giving a run out to the primavera players

Glade to see Milan back in action .. Though the players seemed kind of lacking stamina, I think they will be good to face Red Star.

Btw, just got my new Milan Jersey (White) .. The bwin logo isn't that bad at all

For those that haven´t seen the goals, here you go.

Inzaghi
Borriello

Enjoy!!
