Gazzetta's Probable Line-up

lol didn't their keeper use to play for us (like one game)?

I think the Gazzetta's lineup will be used except Ronaldo might be rested and Oli given the start. Plus Inzaghi is not on the bench.

Kaka and Pirlo better be rested for Cagliari..

Yeah, a pre season game 2 rs ago

Yeah.

I don't think Ronie will start.

Carlo said he hasn't recoverd yet. I'm assuming it will be Oli and Gila.

Also now Carlo said that Kaka could start but could be taken off early in the game.

I think using Seedorf in the hole for this one would have been enough and giving Kaka a full game rest.

Is Zeljko "calamity jane" kalac gonna play or Storari?

Just kidding about the kalac joke, while he does sometimes make clangers he has shown moments of brilliance

I still rate Storari better though

Kalac is our number 2 keeper so I'm assuming that he will be taking over until Dida gets back.

How I wish for those days when we had someone like Abbiati on the bench

Abbiati was a first team player ... And he wouldn't want anything less than that ... As a 2nd Gkeeper, I think Kalac is good enough for a club like Milan.

I do admit, I wouldnt say no to Abbiati as our 2nd keeper, but I think it is clear he wants first team football and I wouldn't start anyone ahead of Dida, unless it is Buffon

Kalac will give a good performance *I hope*

It's a good game to give Oli some time on the field. He hasn't played in a while.

I predict 3:0. Shouldn't be too hard

Against Chelsea in the US. He's been playing in Ascoli only recently and he's quite good.


Kaka and Pirlo better be rested against Cagliari. That game is at home and only three days sooner than United. It's better they play tomorrow imo.


"a club like Milan"? For the first time in my life I took an evening nap... but I don't think the world changed THAT much!??

Well that's what I meant, no point in resting for the Cagliari game... lol. Meant that they should be rested when they play Cagliari.

Ancelotti has Ronaldo doubt

Carlo Ancelotti has warned that Ronaldo may not be fit to play against Ascoli tomorrow afternoon, but he will not be resting his stars.

“I will rotate the squad a little bit in defence, but Kaka will play from the start and stay on until I see signs of weakening,” noted the Milan tactician.

“Clarence Seedorf and Massimo Ambrosini rested at the weekend, so they can return to midfield, while Andrea Pirlo will also start. Ronaldo has to fully recover before he can play and until now that is not the case.

“We could see Ronaldo and Alberto Gilardino upfront or Ricardo Oliveira and Gilardino. In the current situation, I would not talk about Ronaldo in the initial line-up.”

A certain absence is Nelson Dida, as the goalkeeper has suffered a recurring shoulder injury and is now a major doubt for the Champions League semi-final with Manchester United.

“Unfortunately this shoulder problem is nothing new, but we will do everything we can to get him back for Manchester. In any case, Zeljko Kalac is in good shape.
“Paolo Maldini, Pippo Inzaghi and Cristian Brocchi aren’t fit yet, so we won’t take risks with them. Marcos Cafu and Serginho will stay behind to work on their best form.”

The Rossoneri travel to the Stadio Del Duca against an Ascoli side that is propping up the table and almost mathematically doomed to relegation.

“This team is alive and, just like Messina on Sunday, gambling with their last throw of the dice. This is a great opportunity for us to go four points clear of Palermo and that advantage in fourth place would give us a certain confidence. There is still a long road to go for that Champions League spot though.”

Milan still have a good chance of winning the European trophy this season, despite their difficult start in Serie A.

“That competition is a great satisfaction for anyone who wins it. When a big club starts the season they think of taking everything, not creating a list of preferences.”

Some say that the European result will decide whether Ancelotti remains on his bench next season.

“My contract expires at the end of next term. I hope to extend it, but I haven’t spoken to the club yet.”

Inter-Roma, title match at the same hour. I believe I'm gonna watch it, it's the only one live in SportTV.

I just want the 3 points in Ascoli. No mather if it's only 0-1. It's enough.

Good news. I played Winning Eleven 11 with full stats for Ascoli and Milan, Milan being away and also going to www.goal.com to make the formations the same on my ps2.
Ascoli 1 - Milan 5
Ronaldo scoring a hat trick and Gilardino scoring a double, Ronaldo missing a penalty ( IM SORRY ) and Gila almost scoring a goal it looks like Milan have decided to relax in the last 15 minutes
In injury time Ascoli manage to score a header by a corner kick that Cariello meets at the end of it.

I don't think my prediction will be true but it would be cool if it was

Someone on another forum said it best: "We have 4 keepers but now that Dida is injured we don't have a single one that we can rely on."


Heh. So true...heck, that makes us almost sound second-rate.

No it hasn't, but my nails grew a millimeter, what about u

yea probably not 1-5 lol
im thinking 2-0,2-1 or another 3-1 for milan

I'm Wolverine.

Great Assist from Ronie

Number 11 and 11th goal this season

I think that was the quickest goal of the season

Geez. That was quick.

2 minutes

what a nice set-up by RONI

i guess it was a nice finish from Gila

another blow from the satellite company! cant watch the game again

GiLA SCORED?

Yep

btw, what a save from the Greek Keeper. Kaka with a spectacular shot

*EDIT* No goal.

Ronaldo goal, offside

That's the third one

Off side

12' Ronaldo played in for a one-on-one but he is flagged for offside - the replay suggests he might just have been on though.

P2P TV is your friend this has improved massively from a few years ago pretty much like watching it on the TV.

Good save Kalac

OH F##K!!

Does it work on 56kb? if it does can you share how to set it up?

Maicon saving Inter... almost Roma goal.

Ah that maybe a problem!

Ronaldo

penalty

KAKA

Goal

2-0
