* Seedorf will apparently not play on the left but more in the center
And where does Pirlo go?
I think our midfield will look more like this no that we're playing with 2 strikers
---------Pirlo---------
-----Rino---Seedorf-
---------Kaka--------
It's how we used to play during Carlo's first few seasons. Pirlo dropping deep in the classing holding mid role and Seedorf and Rino just a bit more forward in a more central position then they would be in a flat 3 mid system

Carletto gave his pregame interview.
Highlights:
* Ronaldo will play between 45 and 60 minutes
* Pato will play and Carletto thinks he can play with any of Milan's strikers. Sounds like a return to the 2-striker system (YAY!)
* Janku will be ready to play next week
* Pippo should return to training in the next 4-5 days
* Seedorf will apparently not play on the left but more in the center
so Roni - Gila to start
Pato to come on for Roni at 60th min
right?

No no no it's like this: Pato starts, scores a couple of goals till the 30th minute and then is substituted to be fresh for the next game. This is when Ronaldo comes in!

Or they could both get injured during warm ups and we start with Gila, Seedorf and Kaka'

Why not
He can hold up the ball well for his team mates and from time to time could score a goal .. Much like our good friend Gilardino

NOW you understand the concept of Gila!!!!
As for the whole strikers and how we will play them. I think Carlo will start off with the all Brazilian attack (mostly so that Ronnie won't have to warm up during a game, we all know how that usually goes

) and then sub in Gila during the second half.
I think Pato will get the entire 90 minutes to start getting more integrated with the team as soon as possible.

I can't wait to see the match!
But why exactly is Gattuso suspended? When?
I think that Pato and Gila will start and Ronnie will get on the pitch in the second half.
FORZA PATO

Seedorf is probably not going to play according to some declerations that he's injuried.

re: Seedorf. Earlier in the week, the Gazzetta 'ballottaggi' (odds) had him at 70% (with Brocchi at 30%). Now he's firmly in the lineup. I suspect he'll start.
I'm terribly excited to see a 4-3-1-2 AT LAST.

Note for those who may pick up the Fox Soccer feed: the guys who do match commentary for FSC are the SerieATV guys. SerieATV=Milan Channel, so these are the same guys whose voice commentary has been available from acmilan.com. They're not too bad. Just please ignore the horrible introductions from the guys who work for FSC. They're clueless.

You forgot something: AND it's a CL knockout game!
So he's carrying a shotgun??
I don't expect anything from Seedorf. He'll probably be better than usual cause he plays in a more preferred position for him but anything more than a 3 will surprise me. I wish he does surprise me though cause I want Milan to win this one!

He's always there when people look at other players. For example in the 2nd leg against Bayern. Everyone expected Kaká to kill Bayern but then Seedorf was there....expect a lot from him today.
