GATTUSO TIME
By: Gianfranco | May 3rd, 2007I do not think Ringhio’s perfomance yesterday could be summed up in words. He literally made the midfield his, while making certain that CRonaldo was suffocated on every single attack. It was a perfomance that should be seen and remembered from die hards and casual fans alike, but like all of Gattuso’s best games it is usually overshadowed by goal glory on this night, in the form of Seedorf. I will admit that early in the season I was calling for the benching of the Dutchman, but in 2007 there have been few better players than Clarence. Really a masterpiece out of the Milan midfield duo.
On the other side of the ball it looked as though Man U was lost in defensive, counter attack mindset and did not have any chance in getting out of it. Rooney looked intense on the attack but there is very little he could do on his own without a supporting cast, it certainly did not look like a team confident and seeking a win. Milan’s defense which was nicely anchored by Nesta and Kaladze only allowed a few shots on Dida, who believe it or not ladies and gentelman actually caught some crosses. I am so happy that Ancellotti went with the experienced Kaladze and was greatly rewarded, I can not help but think what would have happened in Manchaster had the K man played instead of Bonera.
As a Milan fan I can not wait until these boys get there hands on Liverpool to exact some sweet revenge, but a part of me feels sorry for the fellas of Anfield. Since Istanbul the rage has been stewing in Milan and I can not help but think the game will end 27-0 in favor of the Rosoneri.
Check back for my recounting of that dark, desolate, dreary Istanbul night, and a preview of the 2007 Athens version.

The thing I really like about Gattuso is that he is so passionate about football. It’s not a career for him - it’s the love of his life. You can tell by the way he puts his heart and soul into the game - a passion that a lot of other footballers don’t have.

I knew it =) forza Milano, there was all this hype about Ronaldo but its seriously overatted he isnt as wonderfull as everyone exadgerates him to be he was up against gattuso who ps won the world cupwith italy, i also like Gattuso’s passion and his dramatics he gives culture and reminds me of my passionate about football relatives. Manchester played terrible so yay for Milan! However lets not jump to conclusions im undecided who’ll win Liverpool or Milan please tell me who you think? I do agree Gianfranco that anger has been brewing hopefully it will help. Ciao

If the sides were to play in the form they are in I really think Milan would smoke Liverpool, they are just two strong in midfield right now. I also think the anger and adrenaline will help provide a huge goal outburst. Most of Milan’s CL wins have come from large goal margins except 2003 versus Juve…I can not wait for the game, thanks for the comments.

Not that liverpool are not determined but for milan this game is everything. after the way the season started and the problems they have had, it seems like they just HAVE to win. But I’m a Milan fan so…
