Comments on: Euro Wrap, and more Musings http://acmilan.theoffside.com/azzuri/euro-wrap-and-more-musings.html AC Milan Football Club Blog Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:50:15 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gianfranco http://acmilan.theoffside.com/azzuri/euro-wrap-and-more-musings.html#comment-15080 Gianfranco Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:49:25 +0000 http://acmilan.theoffside.com/azzuri/euro-wrap-and-more-musings.html#comment-15080 Moka it does matter. Seedorf is a really intelligent guy and he knows how to continue to prolong his career. That means playing a centralized midfield role and in his case behind the attack. No one on the wrong side wants to huff and puff up the wings if they can avoid it, and Seedorf understands that, plus he has always been naturally central. I like him, and he has been loyal and successful, and I do believe he should be treated with the same regard. Moka it does matter.

What does it matter to him? If we get a striker, then it's gonna be Kaka as a trequarista behind two of strikers we have and Seedorf is gonna play as a midfielder.. If we get Dinho, then its Dinho, Kaka behind a striker and Seedorf will still play as a midfielder.. Generally speaking that is.. His wish is to play along-side Kaka and that will only happen if we don't sign anyone.. OK so Seedorf says we don’t need an attacking midfielder.. What does it matter to him?

Xavi, Inniesta in a very close 2nd.. Team of the Tournament: Spain played the nicest football.. Turkey were a joy to watch, but lets admit it.. Lucky much? :P Most Underrated Player: Senna.. agreed.. said it perfectly; a beast.. should have got that goal last night.. Most Overrated Player: Arshavin was only expected to do wonders against Spain.. It's hard to say.. But I'm gonna go with C. Ronaldo.. as the world's best player now, I expected him to do more against Germany.. Coach of the Tournament: Hiddink.. agreed.. Fatih Terim did amazing, but Hiddink vs. Holland was wow.. Most Disappointing Player of the Tournament: Ribery was expected to take over Zidane's role.. we all saw how that worked out.. Toni was disappointing, but I won't blame him b/c he was just thrown out there in front and expected to do wonders.. So it boils down to either Benzema or Gomez.. Most Surprising Player: the Semih guy on the Turkish team.. Player of the Tournament: Fabregas (considering his playing time) .. Xavi, Inniesta in a very close 2nd..

He's not that mature and polished yet, he should start slowly, starting from 50K to 60K euros. Even that is heavy on Milan. I'd love it better if our youth can rise than spending so much money on greedy players. May be a better defender plus (economically) good experienced striker is what we actually need. The coach just need to maximize the potential we have. Adebayor is too heavy for Milan financially, he asks for 120K euros a week!

Completely wonderful to see Spain experience the glory that they deserve, much love to them. Euphoria today. I'll probably be back with more coherent thoughts once it has settled in.

That kinda shit travels. It's a cool chant though, neat to see an entire stadium singing it. And Roma picked it up from some other club. That kinda shit travels.

I HATE losing to the eventual winners. I always feel that my team could be in their place. Usually I'm the only who feels that way; most people are OK with losing to the eventual winner. But, even though I'm glad Spain not Germany won and I'm happy for Spanish fans, I can't help but thinking Italy could've taken Spain if it weren't for terrible tactics/philosophy. Oh well. Great tournament anyhow. PS. Has anybody noticed that EVERYONE has stolen Italy's "Seven Nation Army" chant?! The chant of the guitar riff in that White Stripes song was popularized by Roma fans, then it spread to the National team fans. Now it looks like all of Europe has caught on. The Spanish players were chanting it and the fans of almost every nation were chanting it at some time during most of the games. I guess it's flattering.
