A VISIT TO THE MARASSI | AC MILAN

Milan will travel to Genoa to square off with Sampdoria at the Marassi Stadium in the two teams’ Italian Cup quarterfinal game on Wednesday, January 26, with kick-off scheduled for 17.30 CET.

MILAN - The Rossoneri’s way in the Italian Cup 2010-2011 leads to Genoa next as Milan are set to visit Sampdoria hoping to qualify for the semifinals. The match at the Marassi is scheduled to kick off at 17.30 CET on Wednesday, January 26.

Just like Milan, also Sampdoria entered the competition in the last sixteen thanks to their fourth place finish in the championship last season.

In their first Italian Cup match of the year, coach Di Carlo’s men saw off Udinese 7-6 in an entertaining clash decided on penalties. Regulation time finished 1-1 as Isla (90) responded to Macheda (31) to force extra time. Udinese then took the lead in the 91st minute with Denis, but Pazzini equalised for the hosts by converting a penalty on 108 minutes.

On Wednesday, coach Di Carlo will have to do without promising midfielder Daniele Dessena due to the player’s one-match ban following his dismissal in the game against Udinese.

Also Lucchini, Pazzini and Pozzi may miss the game due injuries picked up in Sampdoria’s Serie A game against Juventus yesterday.

Last season the Blucerchiati were eliminated from the Italian Cup by Livorno (1-2) in the fourth round of the competition.

I'd love for us to win the Coppa Italia. With the team we've got, winning a double would be really a good and reasonable achievement..and maybe set us up for the next few years.

I want to see Strasser and Papa starting. Roma too.

Strasser is injured. Hopefully van Bommel and Emanuelson will make their debut tomorrow.

About that, Allegri said Emanuelson will play for sure, and van Bommel has 90% of chances to play as well.

Called-up players: Abbiati, Di Fabio, Roma, Abate, Antonini, Ely (n.53), Jankulovski, Oddo, Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Calvano (n.54), Emanuelson (n.28), Merkel, Van Bommel (n.4), Cassano, Ibrahimovic, Oduamadi, Pato, Robinho.

Unavailable players: Amelia, Bonera, Nesta, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Boateng, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Strasser, Inzaghi.

Would you look at that long of list of injuries. I really don't get why players get injured so often in Italy.

Anyway, this is how I'd play us tomorrow:

Roma
Oddo - Sokratis - Yepes - Antonini
van Bommel - T. Silva - Emanuelson
Merkel
Pato - Robinho

I really wouldn't play Ibrahimovic. Maybe insert him in the second half.

Don't you find this a bit ironic, we can make a starting eleven out of this injury list.

Just to not risk Thiago Silva i'd go

Robinho - Pato - Oduamandi

Emanuelson - Merkel - Van Bommel

Antonini - Yepes - Sokratis - Abate

Agreed, we should consider wrapping Thiago in cotton until Nesta returns, not risk playing him in midfield

or is it the other way around?

Jan 26 2011, 08:14 AM

Anyway..not a lot of hope for this one. Brand new mid-field, pretty new defence. People who haven't played together ever. Once again depending on our attack to pull something out. And Garrone has probably told his squad that they must not lose to Cassano.

I'd be happy with a draw.

I don't think we can draw....

Is it still 2 legs or just one? Not sure...

So no draw jack, either a win/loss or penalties

Yup. Hopefully no penalties cause we'd have to endure extra time and that'd be bad.
