Ronaldo injured again, Milan to feel hell
Sunday, 27 January 08, 01:00 AM
Ronaldo will miss Sunday's match against Genoa because in training (as usual this season) has injured his muscle. This is not the first time this happened to Ronaldo and we know how much he was out of the field when he was injured early at the start of this season. Again nobody seems to know if the injury's serious and will have yet to wait a confirmation for that. Now Inzaghi's injured too that means we have only Pato and Gila, with other words Milan will feel the hell this month. With only two available strikers (which by the way the Gila is not a world class player and he belongs to a middle table team and Alexandre Pato is very inexperienced young player who has yet to learn about Italian football) Milan's chances to reach the 4th place are very very slim and the chances some miracle to happens which will save Milan from hell are 1 to 10.000. The situation to be more rediciouls Milan's management it doesn't seems like is worried about this terrible situation and is taking no action or whatsoever to improve that. Fans are loosing their patient with Milan board especially with Galliani who's passiveness seems to have reached to the boiling point. Me as Rossonero, I don't see where or in which direction Milan's headed, I don't see any logic on the way Milan operatives are finishing (or should I say not finishing at all) their jobs. Dida's injured, now Milan has a 36 years old GK as first choice behind the goal line and the 39 years old Fiori as bench GK. Shevchenko had good timing when he left Milan now we can see that because hes departure to Chelsea was the start of Milan departure. Yet again beside the fans who spend a fortune to buy tickets, Milan shirts and sports clothes nobody seems to care.

AC Milan
TRADE RUMORS : GILA - FREY
Thursday, 24 January 08, 04:36 PM
The last few days that left from January transfer window will show if the speculation about this trade is about to happen or is just another rumor like a lot other that has to do with Milan. Personally I think or should I better say I hope this will go through, because of numerous reasons and one of them is Gila's not Milan type of an attacker he proved that a lot of times and only blind incompetent football personalities cannot realize thats whats obvious. Milan needs a high quality GK and Frey fits there, although I don't think Dida will accept a bench GK role that means in the summer Milan will also have to search for an bench GK and let Dida go.Latest informations say that Frey has started the search for a new house near San Siro. I hope Frey is the starting point of Milan's new team, mixed with a lot of young players that will be able to compete in every front line next season because this one is in mark question can Milan secure the so wanted 4th place in Seria A?Like this blog?

AC Milan 1-2 Atalanta+ALL GOALS
Thursday, 24 January 08, 12:21 AM
I had no chance to watch this match but while I was reading players ratings it was easy to finish- Milan played one excellent half and the second it was opposite with the first one. The players got tired, Pirlo was once again a genius with the ball, Pato good first half "nowhere to be found" second half, Oddo's continuing with his terrible form, another 3point cost error from Kaladze (he did the same against Inter) and what should we say about Gilardino?!? Milan is loosing the breath for the 4th place that will be a disaster for a team with Milan caliber.
And Ancelotti as allways has a "face" to comment stupid errors rewarded by also humiliating defeats:
"We played very well in the first half, opened the scoring and had the chances to extend our advantage. It was very negative to go into the break with a 1-1 scoreline, we deserved more.In the second half we tried to get back in front, but a defensive error allowed Atalanta to score their second goal and then close up all the spaces, so it became far more difficult.
The second half was a step backwards, but I must say this team has not played a better first half this season in Serie A.It was a mistake [by Kaladze], the pitch was slippery and this can happen. It was a mistake that cost us dearly."
Well Mr. Ancelotti those errors Milan has paid with two defeats and now when Dida took a "break" will Kaladze overtake his role of doing stupid 3point costing mistakes?!? isn't it enough?
Is it that hard to ask from the board few new YOUNG players to be bought, and confessing that Gila has no future at San Siro?!?
He is risking a lot by putting on fire young Pato, thats a lot of pressure. LEAVE THAT KID ALONE, give him time and space I dont think he should be a starter in every match. Just as Kaka took Rui Costa's place step by step the very same should be applied for Pato too. This can damage his carrier and it's not fair expecting from him miracles from the start.
This is all I had to say..... We can say goodbye to Champions League next season.....

Udinese Calcio 0-1 AC Milan
Sunday, 20 January 08, 08:30 PM
This time Gilardino was Milan savior with last minute goal against well motivated Udinese defence. If you ask me about this match, I would have told you that it was pretty boring match, Milan had chances but still looked like they will settle for a draw in Udine. I even think that Udinese deserved more than Milan to lift 3 points from this match but this is football it was the "killing" instinct that saved Milan from draw. That Gila goal was only second touch from Gilardino after he came as substitute for Ronaldo on the last ten minutes, and the action was initiated by our young star Pato continued superb by Kaka assist for Gila. However, Milan missed Pirlo a lot in this game, there was no creativity at all from Milan they looked much like "lost in the woods" without having Pirlo who for me is a compass that tells in which direction Milan will play. Pirlo will be back against Atalanta on Wednesday and Milan will have 90% complete and fit squad for this match. Still I think some refresh in Milan squad should be brought, because Milan looked very old and thanks to experience and Pato-Kaka creativity Milan have won this one against Udinese. Ancelotti tried to use Favalli and Bonera as wings but not much use of that since they especially Bonera is a classic defender who's default position is CD just as Nesta and Maldini, and that what Milan lacks- wings who will attack from both sides right and left and will create open chances for attackers on the same time will give Kaka the space he need to attack from the middle. Zambrotta is more and more clear every day that will soon be a Milan player and the right wing position will suit him well, as for the left wing I think Jankullovski fits perfectly there. Forza Milan, Forza Rossoneri !!!

- Italian Serie A
- Udinese (32 pts., 4th) vs. AC Milan (21 pts., 12th)

- Stadio Friuli, Udine
Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to call Maldini for this match and leave him in Milano to rest, instead he called Simic who will sit on the bench and wait his chance. Last match against Napoli the trident Ka-Pa-Ro was successfully lunched and it will again be tested against more serious team as Udinese is, and they proved that by sitting comfortable on the 4Th place of Seria A table.
Milan news say that Pirlo will not be able to help his teammates because of too much yellow cards and he was suspended, Gourcuff was chosen to replace him on the bench. Maldini will also miss this match because of flu.
I hope in Milan win and hope again KA-PA-RO Show in Udine...
Forza Milan, Forza Rossoneri !!!
