Full Version: Milan - Juventus --- 10/5/2009
how good was Flamini at RB guys? i missed that game
I thought he was quite good at RB.
Steve Nash (who is a basketball player, I think?) was at training today.
He watched the team do warmups, ball possession drills, and crosses.
Gattuso and Antonini trained with the team.
Kaka trained separately (slight thigh strain)
Dida trained separately (back)

Steve Nash is playing for the Suns... it's normal that he's on vacation... and he is a Tottenham fan.
For the Gobbi, Marchisio and Grygera returned to full training. Legrottaglie trained in the gym. Sissoko and Brazzo did their first training with the ball.
The gobbi practice game fielded DelPiero-Trezeguet with a midfield including Marchionni, Zanetti, and Tiago.

IMO he was better than Oddo
I went to acmilan.com and saw the headline, "Visit From a Champion, Steve Nash." Champion of what, exactly?

he completed a pass did he now
?i can't even hate Oddo, he's born 5 minutes from my village lol, but yeah...
Milannews seems to think that Dida's condition is improving.
The referee for the game will be Signor Orsato.

Milan (4-3-1-2): Dida; Zambrotta, Maldini, Favalli, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf; Kakà, Inzaghi. A disposizione: Kalac, Bonera, Jankulovski, Senderos, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Pato. All.: Ancelotti

Hey we're close, I somewhere there too. Can you also see Seedorf's huge bum? Of course you can!

yeah
I am worried a bit. this is the time Carlo showed courage and played with an attacking formation (2 strikers). imagine 1 more striker replaced with a lazy bum (no offense but last game he was sluggish as hell). that'd be asking for a draw.
Hey!!
Don't diss Seedorf, he's far better then Pato will ever be, that why he's in the line-up!

Today's training has taken place. Warmups, drills, and practice games.
Both Dida and Kaka trained with the team for Milan (this part was in bold on the training report on acmilan.com) and are considered to be fully recuperated.
The Gobbi have got back (in various levels of fitness) Marchisio, Chiellini, Tiago, Legrottaglie, and Grygera (though today's Marchisio's first full training with the team this week). Molinaro's definitely out -- kidney stones.

It isn't kidney stones for Molinaro after all. Here's an update from the gobbi website:
Hope he recovers. Don't like to see any players injured or in ill health like this.
QUOTE
The tests which ended today, allowed the identification of the cause of the problem. It is in fact a haematoma in the left abdominal regional the formation of which was spontaneous or traumatic as a consequence of a inborn vascular malfunction of benign characteristics.
The player was admitted at the Fornaca Clinic in Turin for precaution purposes and to undergo monitoring of the healing of the haematoma. His stay at the clinic will last a few days but he will be missing the rest of the season.
In about a month’s time further tests will be possible in order to establish whether he can return to normal activity or rest for a period of between 2 or 4 months more in case surgery is needed to solve the problem.

That sucks. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

BECKHAM: "I've been waiting for the match against Juve"
5/8/2009
MILAN - On Sunday at San Siro Juventus arrive, for David Beckham it will be a special match: "A fundamental match. Since I've been in Italy I have been waiting for and desiring this match. Playing against Juve - Beckham concluded - is always exciting. The atmosphere will be incredible. It will be important to win to maintain the second place."

For what it's worth, our foulmouthed friends on the Gobbi boards are mostly not feeling optimistic about the game. Many of their predictions are along the lines of Milan 3 - Gobbi 1.

They better not jinx us, those Juventuz gobbi
They better not jinx us, those Juventuz gobbi
Yeah a Juve friend is saying a draw 1-1 lol
ill only make my prediction when i see the line up tho , but i will make one or two now on who scores
Inzaghi e Kaka'
Inzaghi e Kaka'
Didafan admonishes Fishdoll for double-posting. 
Ancelotti has given his prematch press conference. Highlights regarding the lineups:
* Kaka will play
* Beckham is a doubt because of a minor knock to his ancle
* Pato's doing well and could play in Seedorf's position or in Inzaghi's.
* Gattuso will be called up.
* Kaka will play
* Beckham is a doubt because of a minor knock to his ancle
* Pato's doing well and could play in Seedorf's position or in Inzaghi's.
* Gattuso will be called up.
I don't trust Carlo. he won't bench Seedorf in a "big game". no way.

Speciale Goal. Com – Le 5 “sfide nella sfida”: Milan-Juve la giochiamo noi!
Inzaghi vs Chiellini: anticipiamo i temi del posticipo di domenica sera.
Derby d’Italia o meno: conta poco. Milan e Juve vanno in campo per vincere e compiere l’ultimo salto in vista Champions. Noi di Goal.com abbiamo analizzato la sfida in ogni parte del campo: alcuni di questi duelli potrebbero risultare decisivi per portare a casa i tre punti.
Milan e Juve arrivano al big match in silenzio. Quasi religioso. E per motivi opposti. La stagione di entrambe ha qualche pecca. Al Milan prevale il rammarico per gli infortuni e per le sfide contro le ‘piccole’, che hanno portato via punti pesanti, impedendo il duello con la capolista. Alla Juve, invece, è in corso una vera e propria burrasca: voci, polemiche e risultati che stentano ad arrivare. Milan e Juve, insomma, hanno dei motivi per non gioire. Ma il destino ha voluto giocare un brutto scherzo: metterle di fronte a quattro giornate dalla fine. Per tirare le somme prima di ripartire per una nuova affascinante avventura. Il prestigio di Milan-Juve, poi, ha pochi eguali: il tutto esaurito del Meazza lo dimostra. Vincere servirà anche a questo: fare pace coi tifosi, in un modo o nell’altro.
Il big match avrà tanti motivi di interesse. E noi ci siamo sbizzarriti a leggere tra le righe di una partita anomala, ma pur sempre appassionante. Ecco a voi le sfide che la decideranno.
Pirlo-Zanetti. Pochi hanno i loro piedi e le loro geometrie. In un centrocampo a tre come quello rossonero, il compito del Maestro sarà quello di aprire gli spazi e assistere le punte. Zanetti, invece, che arriva dal suo ennesimo infortunio, spera, dopo il goal di Reggio, di tornare decisivo. A modo suo, con uno di quei lanci che spalancano il campo agli attaccanti. Ma, a differenza di Pirlo, dovrà stare attento in copertura, perché il Milan avvolge e tutti devono dare una mano. La sfida in mezzo al campo ha due paladini d’eccezione.
Inzaghi-Chiellini. Non dormirà la notte, il Chiello. Affrontare Inzaghi di questi tempi è come scalare il Mortirolo a piedi. Superpippo scoppia di salute e la Juve è uno dei bersagli prediletti.La primavera lo ha trasformato e lui segna a valanga. Lo scenario, insomma, è inquietante. Ma Chiellini, in ripresa, è il miglior centrale del nostro campionato, l’unico in grado di poter trovare degli antidoti alla vena del suo avversario. Anche se, si sa, Inzaghi è imprevedibile e rapace. Al predatore non si possono chiedere miracoli.
Maldini-Amauri. Altra sfida elettrizzante. Partiamo da Amauri. E’ forse uno dei pochi che può dare la scossa alla sua squadra. Non gioca da tanto e, nonostante il modesto rodaggio, può mostrare la sua freschezza atletica. L’accoppiata con Iaquinta, tocco e velocità, potrebbe dare fastidio al Milan. Che, con Favalli, schiera però il capitano. Maldini è uno dei pochi che riesce a sopperire all’età in modo stratosferico. Con la classe, innanzitutto, ma anche con i muscoli, se necessario. E contro il brasiliano, state certi, serviranno.
Kakà-Poulsen. Vi ricorda qualcosa? A noi francamente sì. Un Milan-Schalke di qualche anno fa in Champions. Il talento di San Paolo, nel fior dei suoi anni, sorvolava il campo come una saetta, fino a quando il marmoreo Poulsen non lo abbatteva. Quella partita scatenò l’ira funesta del Milan. Domani potrebbe essere un’altra storia. Il danese, con più giudizio, proverà ad attaccarsi all’avversario e a beccare la palla più che potrà. Perché, nonostante quel Kakà fosse leggermente diverso, quello di oggi non scherza.

If Becks is having problems then it's an easy issue to deal with, Seedorf plays in the midfield 3.
Other then that, I cannot believe that he's actually considering not playing either Pato or Pippo because of him

Kaka trained separately (slight thigh strain)

We might need it; Mediaset is saying that Dida's a late scratch for the game (back issues) and we'll have Kalac in goal.

And I was looking forward to possibly the last ever Dida-Buffon matchup for so long. I should've known that this and his current run of form were too good to be true.
Well, fvck this. I'm going back to bed.
Kalac in goal? 
just when everything looked ready for a Juve demolition, this happens. sh*t!
I predict a draw. I can see Del Piro scoring for fun tonight.
