Wednesday Milan Musings

Gianfranco — Tue, 13 May 2008 23:03:15 +0000

It is really hard to let a game like Sunday’s rest especially after reading match reviews and comments from various websites. It hurts as a fan to have the heart of your team questioned, but it also forces you to think about those accusations being true or not. The one word that sums up Milan for me this season is complacent. Other than the Club World Cup (that cursed thing seems to have ruined our season) this team played few games with any urgency and aggression and I believe that is what separated the squad from last season’s success. When I remember the 07 campaign I visualize Rino blasting CRon and Kaka shredding Celtic with a cutting edge that was truly spectacular. This year I see Pirlo laboring, Nesta with his hands on his knees, and Rino with a glazed look that can give no answer.

“Gyorgy Garics got it in stoppages, totally unmarked to volley in a Mannini cross from the left, as Milan had stopped playing some time ago.”

Derby Recap, and Welcoming a Frenchman

Gianfranco — Wed, 07 May 2008 21:44:59 +0000

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.
