wat link are u using because the link i'm using is kinda slow..

So far Milan dominating possession but no real tangible chance. Antonini, Seedorf, Ronaldinho and Inzaghi have been the busiest players so far.

Maldini saves Milan's butt with some superb defending. Tirana appearing more dangerous now.

Here. I'm using the VLC link. It's very small, but smooth.

any streams available pls?

Pasini is handling the game very well. He has been pretty impressive.

Close range free kick for Milan.

Ronaldinho hits the wall. Nothing comes from the resulting corner kick.

Milan struggling to find their rhythm.

Cardacio has been pretty impressive

Inzaghi makes a mess of two great chances back to back, inside the box.

Ronaldinho actually hit the woodwork before Inzaghi's second chance.

i'm not really impressed with our performance..

tirana scores 1-0

Tirana score a great goal after some disastrous defending from Milan.

Cardacio makes a mess of a corner kick. He seems rather nervous.

Milan playing with no desire whatsoever. I blame the line up.

Very little traffic, just 3-4 members online for this match! Sad.

its the 4-3-2-1 crap...

seems like Inzaghi's down injured

Inzaghi seems injured after colliding with the keeper.

Don't know why Carlo is using Favailli as CB instead of Darmian.

Ancelotti= Anti youth

R80 taken down in the penalty area!

pippo out sheva in

HT. 1 - 0

Poor Pippo he just came back from injury.

Nesta warming up during half time. It's... so... emotional...

HT 1-0..I'm out...

+1

We have been waiting for this moment.

Another friendly - another loss.

Nesta in for Maldini.

lol its just a freindly guys come on !!

Yeah, but there are fans there who paid and wants to see Milan play good football.

2-0 Tirana what a surprise

Amazing goal. 2-0

Spectacular goal from Tirana from a long range shot which leaves Abbiati flabbergasted.

Sheva's header misses by inches from a nearby Seedorf cross.

First time I hear the name of that team. Tirana... hmm... they're leading 2-0??

It wouldn't hurt if we won our friendlies sometimes...

im sure the tickets were cheap mine were id rather our players get fit and come out of this friendly injury free for the real matches comming up

I think from all of these unknown teams we played friendlies against, Sporting Gijon takes the cake...

For the first time ever, I can visually comprehend, in great detail, what dst is talking about when she says Seedorf slows the game down. I'm not talking about his slow movements. I'm talking about his tactical approach when we are attacking. It's a bit comical actually. He literally lets all the opposition's defenders get back, and then he tries to make space by passing back to the defenders. He does this all the while other players are moving forward and trying to speed up the play. I mean if it was Seedorf instead of Ronaldinho in the chance that let to R80's goal against Inter, I don't think Seedorf would have ever made that forward pass.

In what aspect? being unknown?... I don't know... at least "Sporting Gijon" sounds like a football team name. Tirana sounds like the name of a Russian pornstar of something..

R80 goal from Sheva's assist inside the box. 2 - 1.

Most definitely. top post.

He should remain in Pirlo's position IMO. Pirlo can be much faster and more creative going forward than him.

hmm... That sounds very nice. I'm already picturing her in my head.

Sporting Gijon sounds funny.

FT. 2 - 1.

We have a 0% winning record in friendlies... no matter how unimportant these games are, I still can't accept all these defeats in what are supposed to be our easiest games during a season, kinda like training games. if our players play up to 50% of their potential, they'd easily hit 4 goals past these kinds of teams. I think motivation should always be there. even against these sh1tty teams.

Motivation is a luxury we don't have much to spare, as long as we're under Carlo, I'm afraid. So what's new?

I'm looking at the line-up... and I'm thinking... WHAT THE ****ITTY ****? I mean...

???

Why did Abbiati play? Oh yeah Dida played at the heavily competitive Borgonovo match, I almost forgot...
Why did Maldini play? Shouldn't he rest? He can still be great but not when he plays twice a week...
Why did Pasini and Meregalli play? They are Primavera players and we have Darmian who has not stepped on the green since the time he took his dog out at the park... and Meregalli is listed as a midfielder on the official site...
Why did Favalli play? Shouldn't he be rested in case he's needed too?
Ambrosini, Seedorf? Why field our most-fielded players again!??!

That's 7 players that should not have played! Of course you can't just go out and play a random squad but all 7 of them at the same time is... too much! Antonini and Cardacio must feel so lucky and appreciated...

Geez Carlo!


Love you sweetheart!


That's exactly what he does! And then we complain about opposition teams defending in numbers against us... of course they are going to do that cause simply we can do nothing about it and they are not dumb not to take advantage of it! We have meaningless possession - unless one thinks passing the ball around in your own half when you're not winning or even losing can be considered positive - and that can't even be called slowing down the tempo cause the tempo in our games is at the level of a graveyard... we let them get back to their own half easily by keeping the ball too much and then we push forward... I mean... why is our attack line so close to their box? The closer we get to their area the closer they will get to their area and as a consequence, there will be less space... it's ****ing common football sense... pull the team back a little and CREATE spaces for ****s sake, football is all about creation nobody is going to gift you anything!!!
Can you remember a single goal we scored in Serie A last season that was a result of a counter-attack? I recall none... there probably were a few but they came so rarely that I can't even bring them to my mind! And we don't score in counter-attacks for obvious reasons...


Nobody in our team except for Bucktoothcho can do that pass, it's a de Assis(t) Moreira trademark!
Plus Ronaldinho is the only player in our team that can open up tight defenses and he's great at it!


Ahem... I suppose you did not know (not that you ought to) but Tirana is actually the capital of Albania...

Anyway... it's all gone now... and Nesta is back!!!

God should have made you Carlo! No really, you seem to have 2000% more knowledge of team selection, man management and squad motivation than ten Ancelottis combined - no offense to any Ancelottis reading this, of course.
