I have to admit I am still overly thrilled with the derby win, and still salivating over the thrilling potential of the scudetto going down to the wire. An all around dominate performance from Milan, and I would have to say that less the last 15-20 minutes or so played one of their best games of the season. It is hard for me to pinpoint the man of the match because so many players stepped up on the big change, but the ones that stick out most for me were Ambro and Nesta. Ambro’s tireless play in the midfield and his constant harassment of Inter’s midfield, specifically Maniche and Zannetti, meant that Milan enjoyed a huge amount of possession in the first half. Nesta took on the chore of managing the defense and did so impeccably, now if he could only teach Bonera that a football game is 90 minutes long and that he has to keep his head on straight for all of it Milan will have a formidable defense come next season. When Suazo came on it was like Bonera reverted to toddler behavior while Nesta calmly defended him strong on every touch.

I never get sick of that one.
I can not remember a Serie A derby with this much riding on it for as long as I have been a Milan fan. This is possibly because I have spent the last 5-10 years drinking heavily on Saturday nights rendering Sunday morning games difficult to remember, or because Inter has sucked for so long that when the team played it was a forgone conclusion that despite the score the Red and Black would always come out on top. Nothing has gone as planned this season and this game is no different, a win gives Inter the third straight scudetto (their first semi-real one of the bunch), while a loss makes things a bit tighter at the top. A win for Milan helps keep up the pace for CL football with the Viola and gives bragging rights for a few days if not the whole summer, while a loss puts an end to the hopes of CL football next season and may even spark a rebuilding revolution for the Rossoneri (I won’t address that issue unless I absolutely have to after the game).

For anyone who doubted Didier Drogba, or may not prefer him to a benched Brazilian named Ronaldinho. (Remind me how many CL games he has played in 08?) Please take today’s brace as a warning, and a statement that he’s ready to roll. Rafa Benitez called him a diver and a flopper and Drogba made him put his foot in his mouth. A great performance all around for Chelsea and keeping pace with Drogba was Micheall Essien who even out of position was dominate.
I bleed red and black, but what I wouldn’t give to have those two guys at the San Siro…

Four goals are always impressive no matter the competition. I will say that the two whoopings that Milan has handed out are against relegations teams, and it may or may not be all the necessary to beat up on teams that maybe don’t deserve it. But this Milan is a completely different squad that is finally hungry for points and shows the offensive bite that has been lacking for the majority of 2008.
