Here's a hint: this player was good for Milan but was much better for another team prior to coming to Milan.

rui costa

YES! Give the man a cigar as the rest of you hang your heads in shame.

Well I'm very grateful, Miz totally hijacked my question.

And I'm even more shocked no one knew the answer as to who Cryuff was referring to. Tennie You disappoint me.

This comment was made during the press conference before the 94 CL final. Cryuff trying to mock Milan's 'defensive' mentality while talking about the greatness of Barca's attack. This is like my favouritest Milan match ever. Even more than Man U 3-0. Coz we weren't supposed to have a chance in this one.

I think Milan's attack was...

Tassoti---Galli---Paolo---Panucci (at LB)
Boban----Desailly---Albertini-----Donadoni
--------Savicevic---------------------------
-----------------------Beep Beep-----------


Barca had....

Ferrer--Koeman---Bakero---Nadal
---Sergi ----Amor---Guardiola---
Stoichkov--Romario----Beguiristain



Amazing to see Panucci own Stoichkov. And Romario hardly got a peep all game. Usually Baresi-Billy was our stock CB pairing and our specialty was the offside trap. The Kaiser was just unbelievable at the offside trap. But with Franco and Billy out, this mean Paolo and Galli were our CBs AND they were playing deep, since they couldn't really have the same understanding to play the offside trap. This was supposed to play right into Barca's hands, since they love the passing game.

Even though it says a 4-4-2 for Milan, it was for me a 4-2-4. Desailly and Albertini were just immense. Totally owned, the Barca mid-field. And Koeman . I remember someone saying Koeman's reading of the game and distribution was so awesome. Ha....Dejan and Beep Beep just ran at him like mad. He had no clue what to do.


Oh..and the answer to my question: Marcel Desailly. As it turns out Desailly totally choked Romario off any service.

*sends Jack white roses and a love letter and begs his forgiveness*

Jack, I remember the game very clearly (see my post elsewhere about the 94 final. That game is one reason why no matter how much of a primadonna he is, I won't say a word against Panucci). Just not the exact Cruyff quote.

Anyway, you're still it so do you have another question?

Can't think of anything...

Bah...first Rossoneri player to win the Ballon d'Or?

easy...rivera

and by beep bepp you mean massaro?

I guess it's your turn now!

yeah i was gonna wait for jacks approval first :P

k i'll go ahead anyways

former milan player that has coached us along with another club a combined 7 times.

You mean he was 7 years long coach of Milan+team X or that he was appointed 7 times? Nils Liedholm?

yes and yes

Okay, this one should be easy: which Milan keeper spent most of his career with AS Roma (before Milan-time!), and won the scudetto in his first Rossonero season?

So, does anyone know the answer?

I wish you hadn't said it was easy, I haven't a clue.

Abbiati is current keeper, before that it was Kalac, then Dida, Abbiati again, Rossi.. before that I just don't know, that was before my time.

That would be Fabio Cudicini.

Right! So, it's your turn now!

OK. I wracked my brain for awhile, but here was the best I could come up with.

Two-parter: Name the other GK to win two Champions Leagues/European Cups with Milan, and the seasons in which he won them.

Giovanni Galli in 1989 and 1990? I remember his weired south american style of kicks.

all the question just made me realised i still dont know a lot of things about milan..

Well, one learns for a liftime long...

So, MissN, is my answer right?

I hate it when I ask a question here and then I forget about it.

Anyway, you are right as rain. Congrats.

Thanks...I like goalie questions..

Okay, let's see...

Which season was the last season all Milan strikers (who appeared at least once) scored in Serie A, considering the period from 1990 to 2000? Name all of them!

Hrm. 1990/91 with Van Basten, Massaro, Simone and Agostini?

Nope, but close.

How about the team the year after the Barcelona Cl win - 94-95? Di Canio was one of the strikers but I'm not remembering the others.

Yep, it was that season, and yes, di Canio is one. Let's get the others...

(One is my favorite, part of my name is after him,..)

Marco Simone?

Indeed. Now, let's remember a certain Foggia striker and a certain Parma striker...

Beep Beep Massaro?

Is the Parma striker Melli?

Yep, Massaro is in, and yep, it is Melli!

So, we have: Simone, Di Canio, Massaro, Melli

Still missing: the man from Foggia, a regular Milan AM/SS (or winger) and a Toro star.

Savicevic?

Lentini?

Both correct. Now the last one - the man who played for various teams in various positions; some of them - Foggia (one of the few bright spots), Lazio, Genoa,...
