Nani's Big Dispute Equals Milan's Anwser!

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:34:16 -0600

Manchester's Nani has problems with Ferguson. Will this mean he will leave.

After the leave of what could be consider Manchester's greatest player to be brought up, Nani believed it was his time to shine at the Old Trafford. C. Ronald's Move to R. Madrid meant that Nani would get more playing time at the United's team line up. But up to now that is still a dream.This has stirred up disputes between Nani and his manager Sir Ferguson.

After being bought from Sporting CP for an undisclosed fee estimated at around £12 Million, Nani was going to become a superstar playing for one of England's top clubs. But he always existed in the shadows of C. Ronaldo. Now that the superstar is gone, Nani has yet been able to play. Ferguson would rather play others instead of Nani. Something that has burned up Nani and has expressed himself to the chief himself. There have been reports of disputes happening in the locker rooms. Does this signal the end of Nani's time in Manchester United?

To Many Man U. fans, this is confusing. Either to side with Nani because he has not gotten the playing time he deserves or to side with Sir Ferguson, well just because he is Sir Ferguson and you do not question is methods. The Issue is divided among Man U's fanatics.

What does this have to do with Milan? Well, Milan sold Kaka and Milan needs a more Solid Midfielder which we have yet to acquire. After also the poor delivery by both Pirlo and more likely Seedorf, who have been terrible to give the strikers the necessary crossings to score. Seedorf has been doing great to get the ball to the front, but somehow always seems to have trouble either keeping it or giving a good cross. Also it has been noticed that he can't exactly keep up with Dinho's passes, which Seeddorf misses almost 75% of the time. Nani would be great to cover these issues which Milan have been lacking and have not even taken into consideration. Instead Milan focuses on acquiring strikers they do not need.

Milan has Pato, Dinho, Super Pippo, Borriello, and the Hunter who was transfer to Milan this past summer. Why search for a new one when what we need is to focused in the Midfield and the defense instead of blaming it all on Huntelaar. Milan claim that they would be interested in Nani in order to replace Beckham after he leaves. Milan would be estimated in paying about €12 Million for the Portuguese outcast.

This would benefit both Milan and Nani since Nani wants more playing time and Milan would give it to him since of their playing style. Give it to Kaka! That was the Rossoneri's playing style which until now are adjusting to without. Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also interested in the Portuguese Winger. Only The Winter transfer window and Nani will decide what will happen.

No time to settle in the field that Lazio has a sensational occasion, a ball from the edge of the filter is not all alone and comes to Rocco, the captain, surprised by so much grace, butt ill send them the ball wide to the right first pole.

Milan by no means intimidated playing rhythms rather low, looking for the finest embroidery closely drawn from the foot of Pirlo, Ronaldinho and Seedorf,

but without finding a good quarter of the fair game, against Lazio of trying to spread as soon as the opportunity presents itself and tries to trouble Dida, but he succeeds only from distance, easy prey to the Brazilian goalkeeper, despite field and slippery ball.

Discovery comes almost as a bolt from the blue, the Rossoneri's advantage to 20 °, brush a Pirlo free-kick from the band in which everyone anticipates Thiago Silva and head easily beat an innocent Muslera undersized.

The reaction of Lazio is unrealistic and confused and does not create special problems for a defense attentively, so, almost without firing a shot, at 34 °, reaches even the doubling Rossoneri on a rapid-start the ball reaches the end of Ronaldinho, who, at 'height limit in the area, drawing a perfect trajectory that finds ready appointment Pato the Duck head it in advance Lichtsteiner, and sends the ball to the edge of the pole away from the door of Muslera vain thrust dip.

The recovery, with the novelty of Cruz in place of Mauri, Lazio offers a more front-wheel drive, the blue-white show us, drawn by Zarate rising in tone and elusive qualities make for grim defenders Rossoneri, but it is still the Rossoneri l 'opportunity to accomplish three goals, but Borriello, served in area in splendid isolation, it lacks control and waste.

Milan play too soft as sometimes happens, and timely punishment comes to 64 ° Zarate, following an initiative personalle download a rebound shot from the edge by Oddo, the ball comes from the parts of Thiago Silva who, backbeat, touches clumsily and beats imparabilmente Dida for the most classic and clamor of the own goal.

Milan, who had already pulled the plug, it should be in trouble, spend two minutes and drink the entire Zarate Rossoneri rearguard and, having reached the limit, it explodes a terrific right where Dida is very good to resist turning a corner.

As already happened in Naples, the Rossoneri are struggling to return to the game, the team splits into two pieces and no longer able to be proactive on, Lazio believe it and enfilade fire on the area of the guests come on dangerous mixtures and staple the corners, glaring opportunity for a tie at 76 ° when Rocchi, Solissimo a center area, impacting headache sending the ball in hand, we also test Matuzalem with a shot from outside that turns off to the side .

In the final frantic, with the teams long and diagrams totally skipped, come twice to the Rossoneri, 82nd tries with a wonderful volley from distance Flamini, but Muslera you find ready and able to fly with a beautiful up over the crossbar, then to 92 ° to explode Pato is a great shot from the top of the area, again Muslera is attentive and able to divert a huge leap beyond the cross.

It ends with the victory, all things considered legitimate, AC Milan, who hoisted the lone third spot, continuing its gradual and steady comeback after the initial false start, the three points came after a match with two faces, after leaving the feeling a superiority almost embarrassing in the first half, came a recovery, where as a result of the unfortunate own goal has put the inability to manage the lead with the team that lost connections and has gradually unraveled, threatening to undermine the good sown earlier.

Lazio too soft, confused and fearful in the first part, was able to catch the flight the manna from heaven, represented dall'autogol Silva, for meshing the fifth and repeatedly put in difficulty the enemy rearguard, the draw has not arrived but is still the feeling of a team with potential well above the paltry 11 points scrape up all the way here that are worth a modest sixteenth place.

By contrast in the 'Casa Blanca', it was suggested that perhaps the termite, the team of dreams, built this summer by spending millions of flowers, is ideal just to fill the front pages of newspapers and ignite the televised debates, while in the field is all another story, so much that performance came limping in La Liga, and even the King's Cup elimination at the hands of a small team with a humiliating series C 4 to 0, all of which added together have held the same technical Pilgrims on the brink of dismissal.

A further theme of the evening, in addition to many others, is that the reception reserved for Kaka to return to his 'stage' in front of his former supporters, well Symptomatic of this is the banner of Curva Sud stated: "We come over here to see mark .... Milan. "

San Siro offers a spectacle in the show with the wonderful color and warmth on the steps that ensure the best possible setting for this global event.

Leonardo, who is learning fast the hard job of manager makes a choice and iperoffesiva row with an unusual 4-2-1-3 with AC Milan Dida, Zambrotta, Thiago Silva, Nesta, Oddo, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf , Pato, Ronaldinho, Borriello (from 79 ° Inzaghi).

Pellegrini, called to a convincing ransom, respond to the real with a 4-2-2-2 with Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Arbeloa, Diarra, Xabi Alonso, Kaka, Marcelo; Benzema (82nd VanNistelrooy) , Higuain (from 74 ° Raul).

Real part of great career, short, specific, fast, attacking full-staff at a very high ball and attacking people with Rossoneri, preventing them from thinking for twenty minutes to admire the Real Summer of dreams, beautiful, effective and imaginative, driven Kaka from a vein in the evening, and an impregnable Benzema for the defenders Rossoneri.

The opportunities created by the merengues are numerous, Benzema is on the 6th to pull from the edge, responds by raising Dida over the crossbar, then they try, again from outside, Higuain 8th, with Dida who controls the ground in two days, and Diarra at 10 ° with the Brazilian goalkeeper who is found not ready yet.

The Rossoneri's first foray comes on the 12th and carries the signature of Pato excess Arbeloa and puts the middle for Ronaldinho, who, Stratton, ends on the ground.

Real continues undaunted drove the ball, running the ball quickly and always finds the edge of the free men before the 13th Ramos grazes the post with a shot to go out, then Higuain to miss the mark in 15th

AC Milan suffered, unable to keep the team high, just relying on speed to launch Pato, Benzema much more effective at the 20th that leaves at Oddo and throws a shot from the edge that Dida manages to deflect.

Outstanding is an opportunity for Pato to 23 ° which, directly served by a court of Dida, manages to get in area, dribla a defender but then fired over Casillas output.

As often happens at the wrong goals, the goals soon followed and, at the 29th after a mistake in disengagement from Seedorf in midfield, Kaka exploded a shot from the edge, slightly deflected by a defender, Dida gets there but rejects weakly Springs on ball Benzema, who, off center, puts the ball nell'angolino opposite, Real deserved advantage.

Milan stung suddenly wakes up and, after a splendid fast triangulation, Zambrotta is covered in a slip area by Pepe, the ball seems to beat up on the arm, the referee awards the penalty that, at the 35th, Ronaldinho turns with a blow under the crossbar.

Milan are now there and pounced on all the pressing balls across the board, wonderful action by Pato on the 36th that on the edge of the area, please check at the chest and shoulder height sidereal, resists and is beautifully Arbeloa the farthest corner, the referee, however, undo mysteriously, the replay shows that there is no irregularity.

On the final time, the Real, we try again a couple of times with shots from a distance of Kaka who lose high above the cross.

The second half started with Milan who raises the defense of some ten meters, that is enough to make the team more short and compact, always ready to go, now the real difficulty in finding space and become more dangerous.

The frantic pace in the first half kept by the Madrid and Milan are blatantly stupid ready to throw himself forward on all the reconquest of the ball keeping on the alert fearing the Spanish rearguard.

The match, however, is still trying to make the Real, but less effective, the first pitch to the door of Dida arrives at the 59th and Benzema throws, a deflection of Ambrosini does however finish up.

At the turn of the 65th double opportunity for the Rossoneri before and Xabi to save in advance at the head of Silva, the development of the next corner and Borriello to jump higher than all but the header is lost on the side.

Kaka in the second half no longer able to be as devastating as in the first 45 minutes, a beautiful duel with Ambrosini, truly gladiatorial tonight.

After an attempt to come out of that Kaka just minutes away from one another Raul and Inzaghi just failed the national SuperPippo two glaring chances, 82 °, beautifully served by the fund from a cross by Pato, is left bewildered by smooth Pepe and uncoordinated strikes by sending the ball over the crossbar, and 83 °, launched from behind the lines Seedorf, appears only in front of Casillas kicking but wasted on the outside of the network.

The finish brings chills to all Milan fans, Marcelo tries to 88 ° from the edge, Dida sees the ball at the last moment and barely able to deflect, but it is 89 ° which Dida pulls the most thunderous applause when can literally remove a stone from the door to ride close to Raul.

It ends with a fair balance that if one side gives an image of Real Madrid solid and formidable attacking at full strength for most of the first half and for much of the second half, creating many opportunities, but also against leaving many opponents, on the other confirms the good shape of Milan and the new-found knowledge in their own strength.

Are therefore still wide open games, and for qualifying and for the first in the group, between the two team tonight they got a pleasant evening of great football with their fans and all sports neutral.

The Best: in Milan Pato and Ambrosini, Kaka and Benzema in Real Madrid.

10th and Dzemaili to win the ball on the ground and trocar, an accomplice to a lack of output contrast of central defenders, is focused and explodes a great shot from 25 yards which Dida takes a big hand managing to deflect against the crossbar.

The response is immediate, Milan, Pirlo wins the 13th ball on his own three-quarters and serve immediately Dinho on the left wing, the Brazilian forward and delivers the ball 20 yards Borriello, just beyond the line of host defense that first intention of pulling the door and making a mockery Mirante pass the ball between the legs for the goal of the Rossoneri's advantage.

The half ends with a chance to party before and Galloppa to waste a valuable assist to Paloschi pulling weak and the central limit and facilitating the capture of two times Dida, then the Rossoneri have to waste a goal already done that with Borriello, received the ball inside the box, instead turning to the door seeking support for an unlikely Dinho.

The recovery part with Parma's most compact and determined that tries to raise the pace to embarrass the Milan, the 49th tries from outside Galloppa, Dida controls barely a shudder giving land to their supporters.

The Rossoneri are trying to control the match and attack on the final touch with the play of her imagination, beautiful and prolonged the action area that increased to 12 ° Seedorf to turn to 8 feet from the door and throw a nice rasoterrra that rejects Mirante foot.

But soon the good intentions of the two teams go into the attic spaces are once again expand in parallel with the decrease of forces, the Rossoneri fail a few times to finish the edge of the area, with Duke's defenders always alert and ready to address in front of goal.

Parma all the attempts, Guidolin jumped into the fray Amoruso and Lanzafame, just that commits Dida a parade in two stages with a shot from 16 meters.

The finale, with United long and knees, suddenly turns to '86 ° for a sumptuous descent Thiago Silva who won the ball in midfield, arrived on the trocar Borriello and serves on the band, the center, won the bottom line closes perfectly the triangle with the Brazilian defender, who misses the easiest thing blatantly hitting the crossbar head no more than 5 meters.

The icing on the cake, however, puts more than 92 ° Borriello who served as a delightful cross from Ronaldinho, he performs a sensational scissors that sends the ball flying into the network with the edge of the pole, away from an astonished Mirante.

Ends up with a deserved victory for the Rossoneri that are even more to the common areas of the rankings, and that, gradually and steadily becoming a real team, firm, conscious of its own means and especially well balanced, with the three fantasists who seem finally conditions rather than discrete and a pair of well-stocked with fast strikers Pato and Borriello powerful.

Parma tries to do its part, undertakes and fights with passion, with Guidolin more times that mixes the cards changing schedules and men, building their good opportunities, but fail to express.

The Best: Borriello and Ronaldinho in Milan, in Parma Galloppa and Lucarelli.

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:20:28 -0500

In San Paolo of Naples play 2 of more warm teams of the moment in Serie A: Naples and Milan.

Mazzarri present NAPOLI with : De Sanctis ; Grava , Rinaudo , Campagnaro ; Maggio , Pazienza (18'st Cigarini ), Gargano , Aronica ; Lavezzi , Hamsik ; Quagliarella (26'st Denis ).
Leonardo answer and present MILAN with: Dida ; Abate , Nesta (8'pt Kaladze ), Thiago Silva , Zambrotta ; Ambrosini , Pirlo , Seedorf ; Pato , Inzaghi (28'st Borriello ), Ronaldinho (15'st Flamini ).

Now the race downhill for the Rossoneri but they are wrong to slow down and be content, but 85 minutes is too much to hope to pass unharmed, especially since already the eighth minutes Nesta leaves the field for a muscle strain.

So the Naples slowly starts to believe it, at first timidly, then more and with more conviction, only one Dida in the evening of grace can block attacks with a series of parades Neapolitan decisive.

The response of the Milan attack is insufficient and unconvincing, an attitude that unfortunately continues even after the break to play with Napoli and AC Milan game thinking only to protect the advantage, Dida is explosive in a couple of circumstances and can deny the goal Naples to a very generous and, at times, unstoppable.

At minute 86 Abate was expelled Milan pays dearly for the ingenuity of the Rossoneri side, in fact at 90 Cigarini from the edge of guessing the right line sending the ball just below the intersection of the poles, outside the Dida.

Milan is in distress and inevitable to reach at minute 92 the incredible, but deserved, balanced of Naples, Maggio wins the back line and draw a perfect cross for Denis, who, to his neck, manages to remove the cobwebs from intersection under the poles, this time Dida misjudged the trajectory and follows the ball with his eyes without even sketching the plunge.

Fundamentally right ends in a draw, which leaves a bitter taste for the Rossoneri as well once she started the match but rightly rewards Naples for the consistency and effectiveness of its optical sforzi.

In road to wins scudetto, two points lost for Milan, the team has lacked in double advantage of practicality and cynicism failing to control the game and offering natural and constant return of the opponents.

The Best: in Naples Cigarini and Maggio, in Milan Dida and Pato.

Milan slows for a moment to draw breath and Pellissier has the ball goal to close the match, but after passing Thiago Silva, who arrived in the area, allowing you to wrap Nesta save in extremis.

The Rossoneri take over the attack escaped the danger he tries a couple of times Borriello headed without luck, then Seedorf, almost from the spot to hit for external forcing Sorrentino difficult detour to another corner.

After so much pushing the reward finally comes to so many efforts, 81st from another deep incursion on the left wing of Pirlo's cross comes with a tachometer for Borriello, the separation of the head of the center forward and powerful, but the lower part of the cross Save even Sorrentino, on the rebound but the most ready to pounce on the ball and Nesta who headed it realizes the goal of well-deserved draw.

The feeling is palpable that 1 to 1 will not be the end result, the Rossoneri we believe and continue to attack with his head down, 5 minutes from the end is a stone's throw from Sorrentino Inzaghi strikes without fail, the goalkeeper is clivensi But to dismiss the miraculous, but it displaced.

In an attempt to find the advantage is discovered and AC Milan at 90° Chievo touches the advantage, from the depths comes a perfect cross that Granoche impact with precision, Dida is literally monstrous backbeat to reject in a parade that serves as a miraculous goal.

Goals that arrives on time, in compliance with the unwritten law of goal last goal conceded failure, from a corner from the left beat the ball comes to Nesta, lurking at the back post, the defender strikes without jumping, placing the ball beyond the reach of Sorrentino for staff and the shotgun team.

It ends with a daring, sweating and deserved victory for Milan, able to react and rise after the initial twenty minutes in complete mercy of the opponent, the team proves to be compact, convinced of their own means, pushing hard and close-knit, the figure is higher technical then rest, be noted, however, also witnessed by the optimal physical condition in which the second half Milan always leave out the distance I could often change the course of the game.

Leonardo Bravo once again to guess the changes and give a shock right through.

Of Chievo can certainly praise cards, played a game at most of its forces, placing first on the ropes Milan and then heroically resisting the attacks of opponents continues, the defeat in recovering some leaves with a bitter taste in the mouth of Charles and his men, but Milan do not steal anything and fully deserves the victory.

The Best: in Chievo Sorrentino and Pinzi, in Milan Nesta and Dida.

Real Madrid 2 - 3 AC Milan: Rossoneri Beat Galacticos

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:25:05 -0500

In the marvelous picture of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, one of the most impressive temples and glorious world of football, we address what, without fear of contradiction can be defined as the queens of Europe, Real Madrid and AC Milan take it in the field of 16 couples Champions / Champions Leagues (nine to seven for the Spanish) plus another host of trophies continental and global.

The epic of Milan Berlusconi was born precisely in a cup semi-final at the Bernabeu over sull'1 d to 1 with the Rossoneri, led by the prophet of Fusignano, Arrigo Sacchi, who gave an unforgettable lesson in football to the Spanish, transforming back to San Siro a formality thanks to a resounding 5 to 0.

But now times have definitely changed, if the Real of Florentino Perez has shocked the market this summer, spending nearly 300 euros and millions of tourists and bringing in the 'Casa Blanca' the best players in circulation: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Xabi Alonso, Benzema, the Milan is experiencing instead the period, perhaps lower than the Berlusconi administration, with a team come to an end and with a new foundation still far from being programmed.

A further challenge to the pepper gives it the presence of Kaka in camiseta blanca, the great former while never losing an opportunity to swear his love for the Rossoneri, has, in the hours of wakefulness, issued dichiarazoni pepper where he hoped to contribute to the elimination of the Rossoneri from the competition.

With these assumptions and expectations of these teams are brought into play in a stadium exhausted and hot, although a fine and persistent rain, Pellegrini, who must give up an injury at the Golden Ball Ronaldo, row your REAL MADRID with a 4-2 -- 2-2 with Casillas, S. Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo, L. Diarra, X. Alonso, Kaka, Granero (from 22 'st Drenthe), Raul, Benzema. (Dudek, Arbeloa, M.Diarra, Garay, Van der Vaart).

Leonardo, choose a team courageous and hyper offensive, in fact, the row MILAN with a 4-3-3 with Dida, Oddo, Nesta, T. Silva, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Pato, F. Inzaghi (15 'st Borriello), Ronaldinho (46 'st Flamini). (Roma, Kaladze, Jankulovski, Antonini, Huntelaar).

The teams start with a wary well-placed AC Milan and Real in the field who takes, noblesse oblige, the burden of making the game after ten minutes of study, almost without emotion, with the blancos trying to trigger the attackers stakes central and the Rossoneri that they leave looking Pato, the very broad band, the first great emotion comes in 13th with Benzema impinges on bottom line by Zambrotta, the referee let it go, feeling strong, supported by the replay is insolvency by rigor.

After a miraculous save on Inzaghi Albiol served by a cross from the bottom of Seedorf, the 19th comes the advantage Madrila, Granero kick from the edge of unpretentious, Dida seems to check with security, but the ball eluded him incredibly, the rebound knees and slips away, that authentic animal area that is Raul does not believe in so much grace, pounced on the ball and rambling, slightly off center, unattended bags in the door.

A goal like that would kill a bull, but AC Milan tonight is compact, concentrated and determinaissimo, does not let down by the disadvantage and continues to do well on the field, sorted and collected in the defense is ready to restart the search for two bands Ronaldinho or Pato,

in front of goal but he can not sting, Pirlo tries from outside with the ball that is lost very high, then Inzaghi to get broken on a lovely Assisted by Seedorf.

Real seems constrained by a convenience, play soft a mild pace, never sinking with the decision, relying on the individual more than to play a team that seems to be still far from being organized, so the best are Benzema and Granero, Kaka is moves in a decentralized position that he takes away from the heat of maneuver.

The only opportunity to get to double in the 46th with a solo effort by Marcelo, ended with a shot from the edge, which Dida is good to deflect for a corner.

The second half started with Milan stretching the team and inevitably leaves room for more restarts of the landlords, Dida, in the early minutes of the restart has no way to be forgiven for taking a small miracle on a close shot by Kaka, penetrated beautifully in area , then shrugs off the crossbar off a shot from Benzema, finally unable to control an attempted lob by Raul, launched from half blunder by Nesta.

Exit Inzaghi, who has given much to do but could not find the winning dart, and in its place, he sees himself after more than two months Borriello.

AC Milan believe more and more, Ronaldinho is growing visibly, giving some play delightful and incisive, worthy of the golden days, but Pirlo is to call the game balanced, the 62nd, received the ball from one side damage , is focused, advanced, and from 39 feet, let fly a shot to get off of his that slips between the pole and the hands of Casillas, freezing the Bernabeu.

Real feeling the pinch, while AC Milan fly on the wings of enthusiasm, and just 4 minutes later, Ambrosini, the midline of the field, breaking a story and run with the rev counter Madrid to Pato, the paper is sandwiched between two defenders and, taking advantage of the misunderstanding between Casillas and Albiol is coordinating the edge of the area and deposited in the net unguarded net for a goal of overtaking Rossoneri.

After a few moments of heel, in which the Rossoneri are all close to a third goal with a shot of Zambrotta who loses not much out, Real, dragged down by a resounding Drenthe, AC Milan closing it puts on the ropes in his area and brave and Dida be ready to get on a roll of Drenthe, but after a series of blends and corner of a row, to 76 ° right Drenthe, received the ball from Raul, just outside the box, the control and in turn find the right hole in a forest legs, send it to a network, circumvention of a breath trying to parade Dida.

The game is beautiful, regardless of defense, like two boxers in the middle of the ring, the two teams will face no holds barred, Real continues to rely on the play of individuals, thus promoting the Rossoneri defense phase, the game instead Mlano team pulled back from his jugglers finally decisive.

At 82 ° sensational topic of the referee annulled a goal that AC Milan for a foul mysterious, no one knows who, since they are the defenders of Madrid to finish on top of Casillas and Sergio Ramos who is sending the ball in hand goals, decision really outrageous!

But Milan tonight is stronger than the negative events and bad luck and, on time and deservedly, 86 ° on the development of yet another flight of Pato, Dinho the ball comes to that track for Seedorf, the Dutch on the top left corner of tracheggia 'area and then leaves as a soft and delicious assists for Pato who, all alone at the far post, pounced on the ball and the fly beats without hope Casillas.

After a huge parade in diving Dida on a low shot from the edge of violent Xabi Alonso and three long minutes of recovery, comes the final whistle that marks the stunning and deserved victory for Milan who violates the Bernabeu after Roma and Juventus, who had done in the previous two years ......

This time Leonardo did nothing wrong, the team plays Coral mentality, attitude and offensive form, the guys in the field suddenly remembered who they are and offer glimpses of class A gaggle, so you see Seedorf who covers defense and create in attack, admires Ronaldinho winning dozens of punishment and that always eludes defenders with his dribbling acrobatic, one in front of goal and enthusiasm from the deadly speed Pato, the midfield are holding up better than a trench, the defense is a veritable bastion, Dida manages to recover from one of the most outstanding of these ducklings years.

Apparently the air in Europe is good for the devil who gives you another night of magic, dismostrando once again, if proof were needed, that the Champions is its natural habitat, but also that the Italian team that is better able to interpret issues facing Europe and, of course, is always the most feared by opponents.

About Real, without Ronaldo, one can say that there is still work in progress, for the moment is a collection of individual but not a team, the work of Pellegrini is still imbrionale, yet individual enough to win out on teams of middle and lower cabotage, but it just has to do with teams organized and more savvy is the night ....

The Best: in the Real Drenthe and Diarra in Milan Pato and Ronaldinho.

AC MILAN and REAL MADRID, the most successful clubs in the history of football face each other again, and this time is it interesting for one reason called Kaka. Wednesday night, at the Santiago Bernabeu

This is really the best encounter of this Champions League season, better than everything is. The fact this is still the group stage might hurt the great ramification this match has, but a boring game we’ll not see.

Ricardo, Ricky Kaka, with different colors for the first time against AC Milan, the team that followed him during beautiful six years. Now, this is the real task of Milan, and Real Madrid.

AC Milan 2 – 1 A.S. Roma: Ronaldinho & Pato Reach Milan A Comeback

On the paper, the open of the Blancos for the league is 90% perfect: having lost only one game in the first nine rounds of the La Liga, and sit on the second place in the league, after Europe champions, FC Barcelona.

Real had a weak game versus Real Valladolid on Saturday, despite won 4-2 from a really, top-class goals. However, it is really not enough if they are aiming everything this season.

The match against Valladolid and the one before that against Sevilla emphasized Madrid’s real problems. Real are wining so far when they are only depending on personal skills, the lack of playing together plays a side.

Furthermore, the Blancos are looking very bad at defending, as the main problem is left-winger Marcelo, who’s doing a lousy job at the back. This is where the coach has to take control and show he knows the job.

It seems like Manuel Pellegrini has done nothing with the team and Cristiano Ronaldo is the proprietor. The absence of Ronaldo is an important part in Real’s problems that coach Pellegrini must figure out.

The Spanish goalkeeper, Iker Casillas is one of the best three goalkeepers in the world, and we could see that against Sevilla when 300% percent goals were stopped by him. The defense must improve but when Iker stands up, it will be hard to score.

At the attack, Pellegrini has some options: Raul is one of the key players in Real Madrid and despite Karim Benzema said he doesn’t get enough balls when Raul plays alongside him, it’s hard to believe that he will benched. The French scores sometime but he’s still not there for Real with his game in La Liga.

The spotlight of course will be referred to Kaka. The Brazilian changes Real play when he gets on the field, like he did for Milan. The 27-years-old is the best Real player on the field, and he will have to show to Milan that he’s still one of the world’s best.

Manuel Pellegrini has called in the names of these names: Casillas, Dudek; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Drenthe, Albiol, Garay; Diarra, Kaka, Lass, Xabi Alonso, Van Der Vaart, Granero; Raul, Benzema, Higuain.

Injuries have befallen on Real, as Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Gago, Alvaro Arbeloa and Christoph Metzelder will be all sidelined. Guti was said to reach full recover, but according to the called-up list, Manuel takes no risks with him.

Crossing to Italy, Milano. AC Milan will be at the Santiago Bernabeu for the greatest & toughest match in this season. The pressure was very high on Milan but the victory over Roma gets some pressure off them, as they now meet the only team that is more successful than they are in Europe.

AC Milan against Real Madrid was supposed to happy two months ago, but Milan called it off. Now, for the first time on Wednesday night, they will see Kaka alongside Raul, Xabi Alonso and many more from close, and will finally feel, what the Champions League is all about.

The situation was very bad for the Rossoneri until Sunday. The reporters in Italy suggested Milan to fire Leonardo unless he wins both Roma and Real Madrid games. The first part of the deal has successfully fulfilled, but against Real, the chances are against him.

Alexnadre Pato and Ronaldinho, who knows Real’s defense well since his days at Barcelona, are the main reasons for Milan win, but basing on the entire performance, Milan can go out to the Bernabeu will half a smile on their faces.

The victory on A.S. Roma reminds the one in the opening round against Siena, when Pato’s brace gave Milan a promising start. However, in the next fixture, all the fans of Milan saw were tears, against a tough, bitter opponent, like Inter.

The fans of the Rossoneri around the world hope that Milan have learned from their mistakes, and the same thing will not happen twice, as Real Madrid are as strong as Inter, or even more.

Leonardo must know how to use Real Madrid’s problems against them. The midfield of the Blancos will be well-covered with probably Kaka, Alonso, Van Der Vaart and Granero, so Milan must look for counterattacks, and go trough the left-side, where Marcelo defends.

Ronaldinho showed signs of magic against Roma, like versus Roma. But in the game against Inter who performed very bad. ‘Dinho said that he wants to get more active and be a better pro, and this is the first opportunity to see what he works on, and if he can keep up the good performance he had played.

The attack of AC Milan has many problems, starting with the fact that the balls that arrive from the midfielders and wingbacks aren’t good enough to be controlled, and when the balls do arrive, the attack finds it very hard to finish and make the final touch.

Like Kaka of Real, also for Milan’s Klaas-Jan Huntelaar this is a special encounter. Real Madrid was Huntelaar’s team for only half year, but he wants to show them that this was a wrong thing to sell him so early.

However, he’s very likely to open this game, as Leonardo, like Leonardo in all those days he’s been coaching, does not change things that work. Pato and Ronaldinho are most likely to open this match in a 4-4-2 system.

Leonardo called up in these 22 names: Dida, Donnarumma (n°60 – Primavera), Roma; Antonini, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Nesta, Pasini (n°57 – Primavera) Oddo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta; Abate, Ambrosini, Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf; Borriello, Huntelaar, Inzaghi, Pato, Ronaldinho, Verdi (n°58 – Primavera).

Marco Storari still suffers from an injury and will be out for a months according to AC Milan Official Site. Oguchi Onyewu, Gennaro Gattuso, Davide Di Gennaro will be sidelined as well.

PREDICTION

A match between these two sides is not going to be boring. The history is with Real Madrid, nine wins of the previous 11 matches, and so as the better players. It will be very surprising to see a Black & Red side winning the game. Real Madrid are better as for now, despite the injuries and defense problems. Easy 2-0 win for the home side.
