Whee. Milan are playing another friendly. This one is against the Albanian national team in the second II Trofeo Taci Oil Albania Read game. The game is tomorrow (Tuesday); the team will fly in, play the game, and fly back.

The team has already had practice today. Those who played yesterday mostly worked in the gym; the rest mostly did drills and played a practice game.

Nesta worked and did running. Beckham trained separately.

Dinho will start cool.gif so will the kids who are bought to play only in these kinds of games cool.gif can't wait!
dst
I love these games!!! smile.gif We should do arrange these next season too in order to make sure we won't win anything!!
Tennie
Meh. It's one (not very glamorous) way of making up the money lost from CL revenue. Gattuso is supposed to play part of the game, so it's useful for that if nothing else.
dst
And we lost out to CL football because we did not care to rebuild the team when we should have... anyway, looking at the past for anything more than learning from one's mistakes is not useful at all so I'll stop here.

These games mess up the squad's training schedule... we HAVE TO stop them next season!

Maldini, Dida and Bonera are being left behind for the friendly. (With my luck, Dida will probably wind up sitting out against Udinese as well.)

hasn't done anything yet, in fact i din't even know he was playing till you just mentioned it. storyline so far
-Pato is offside 6 out of 4 chances
-sheva is a little slower than i remember
individualy the back line players are amazing (with antonini looking a little lost)
-pirlo hasn't touched the ball yet (if once)
-ronaldinho is having a old "barca" day so far

Albania are better in transition then us

Thiago silva/mattioni/Senderos are winning all the battles

Janku down

il_diavolo_mtl
I'm seing Senderos playing ALOT higher then he is used to and it is confusing albania.
Cafu anywone?

ronnie is ALL OVER THE FIELD
il_diavolo_mtl
RONNIE 1-0
dst
Ronaldinho scores with a shot from just inside the box after a link up between Shevchenko and Pato.
il_diavolo_mtl
gattuso just knocked down his first albanian of the match, many more should fall...
il_diavolo_mtl
Senderos looks great guys, i hate to say i told you so but his yearlong improvement is showing today in a big way
dst
Great link up between ex and current 7 again, Pato misses a one-on-one from a very tight angle.
il_diavolo_mtl
that sheva did well to set up smile.gif
il_diavolo_mtl
gattuso unfortunately got owned with stepovers :S
il_diavolo_mtl
sheva setting up pato again
Albania has speedy players
dst
Another great combination between the two this time the goalie gathers the ball before Pato manages to reach it.
il_diavolo_mtl
sensational chalange by Senderos
dst
Albertazzi warming up... the crowd goes crazy... oh wait, that's Kaka next to him! tongue.gif


(there seem to be many Milan supporters in the stadium, probably an Albanian fan club?)
il_diavolo_mtl
sloppy defense from Rino, he needs to shake of the rust :S

Thanks to those who watched for the updates!

From what I've heard, the youngsters (Cardacio, Silva, et al.) were pretty lousy tonight. Hopefully it'll put the "Carlo should play the young guys more" invective on ice for awhile.

This was what, their 3rd or 4th game in a year. I wouldn't expect more when they have zero confidence when going on the pitch.
MizNelson
I did feel bad for Perucchini (sp?), though. He made Kalac look like Gordon Banks tonight.

I would like to see these guys work a game on their own, though, maybe against some lower-level Serie B squad.
