Milan vs. Celtic - 2nd Leg, round of 16

[SANT]

After the 0-0 tie in Scotland, now back to San Siro.

Milan must win the game...

any tie (besides the 0-0) is good enough for Celtic to advance because of the away goal...

[Xudong]

I predict a 3-1 win, with two goals coming from Kaka', one of them being a penalty kick. :D

[zlatanov]

... one of them being a penalty kick. :D
whatever you've done, I don't wanna know about it :D

If Milan come out focused and determined, and I don't see a reason for them not to do so, I think the win will be ours ... we just need to take our time and not rush things 'cause this could elad to mistakes at the back, which could cost us.

Other than that, the dif in quality between the two teams is a bit too big, so all we need to do is match them for determination i.e. grinta.

[kastriot]

----------Dida-------------
Oddo Kaladze Maldini JAnku
---------Pirlo-----------
Rinho-------------Ambro--
-------Kaka Seedorf-----
---------Gila------------

We have to play both ambro and rinho that day to make sure we dont concide and with both Kaka and Seedorf we will score eventually,,the most important thing is not to concide early... that would be terrible... Kaladze must play instead of Bonera,as his better in the air...and ambro too can help stop Venegor..

[sveto]

if pippo is healthy, he needs to play regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!
gila sucks, it is going to be a tough game

[Pireloke]

1-0 or 2-1 and a thriller as usual, my heart can't wait lol.

[zlatanov]

it looks like San Siro could be opened for all fans, not just season-ticket holders, as of this weekend.
So, I guess that means a full stadium for the game vs Celtic :)

Good stuff........Even more chance of a ticket for us coming from Glasgow.

Hope the ones who came over for the game enjoyed themselves.
The ones i spoke to seemed to have good time bar the score.


P,s how good is kaka...........I've never seen anyone make so much space in my whole life, the boy is class!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SANT]

hey merlin, a question about Celtic and please excuse my ignorance... is there a specific reason why the jersey is in green/white horizontal stripes?

[curry chicken]

I was wondering that too SANT...could it be because of the four-leaf clover in their emblem?

I think Gordon Strachan is probably one of the sweetest coaches I've ever seen...forgive my girliness, but he reminds me of me grandpa. :sweeteye:

[merlin07]

I've been told that our first kit was white top and black shorts, we then changed green and white stipes, as a mark of respect to our irish heritage,
But striped football strips were comman at the time and the club wanted us to stand out from all the rest and at the time no club had the hooped top.

Now maybe you can help me, i'm flying into Milan on Tueday night,
Whats the best form of transport from Malpensa Airport to the town centre and how much does it cost. Also is there any part of Milan that we should stay clear from( i.e Bad parts of town where there may be trouble)

Any other information that might be relevent would be nice.


Cheers in advance :5ok:

He's in a permanent huff :mad:


But he is funny....You looking forward to the game chick???

[hitmannq8]

hope Gila takes no part in this game.. Oliveira + Pippo upfront, supported by Kaka-Gourcuff-Pirlo-Seedorf(ambro).. Its also vital we see Bonera playing as this guy is really class..he just needs to learn to make less fouls..

[rossoneri]

FORZA MILAN we will beat celtic , hoping for goals of kaka and gilardino/

Well, the easiest is to just take a TAXI, but that's gonna be expensive... let's say 50-70 Euros... probably as much as your flight... I'd say you only consider this if you have the money, the urgency to get to your destination, or in case you arrive very late at night, or with bad weather...

What I would do, is:
TAKE A SHUTTLE! They go from Malpensa to Stazione Centrale... there's always one about to depart... and it costs like 5 Euros... if you don't know your way around town to find your hotel or where you're staying, just go to Stazione Centrale and from there take the Metropolitana (subway)...
the nearest stop to San Siro is "fermata LOTTO"...

the TRAM can also take you all the way into the parking lot of the stadium, right Biglietteria Sud (South box office)

[Warro Bantan]

From theGuardian website:

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2024649,00.html

The prospects of a team qualifying for the next round, naturally enough, are influenced by the result they recorded in the first leg. Consider these figures from two-legged European ties played in the major competitions - the Champions League, Uefa Cup and the now defunct Cup-Winners' Cup - in the last 20 completed seasons. Of all the teams who lost by one goal away from home in the first leg, only 44% qualified for the next round - so Arsenal beware. Of all the teams who drew away from home in the first leg, 72% qualified for the next round. Of all the teams who won by one goal away from home in the first leg, 91% qualified for the next round.

This is certainly reassuring! :D

Now, where can I place my bet :D

[Tony29.]

Of all the teams who drew away from home in the first leg, 72% qualified for the next round.

And when Milan ( in last 20 years) is concerned, the percentage is even higher.

See this, it's almost unbelievable :


Champions League
When Milan drew the first leg, they ALWAYS won the second leg
1993 - Aarau 0:0 - 1:0
1995 - Benfika 0:0 - 2:0
2003 - Ajax 0:0 - 3:2
2004 - Sparta 0:0 - 4:1
2006- Bayern 1:1 - 4:1
2006 - Lyon 0:0 - 3:1

Champions Cup
When Milan drew the first leg, they didn't qualify for the next round only once
1988 - Red Star 1:1 - 1:1 pen :4-2
1989- Werder 0:0 - 1:0
1989 - Real Madrid 1:1 - 5:0
1990 - Mechelen 0:0 - 2:0
1991- Club Brugge 0:0 - 1:0
1991 - Marselle 1:1 - 0:3

UEFA Cup
2001 - Sporting 1:1 - 2:0

Cup Winners Cup
/

Total : In last 20 years Milan drew in the first leg 13 times, and they qualifyed in the next round 12/13 times , or 92%.

Now you can place your bet Warro :grinser:

[curry chicken]

Aye Tony, your the lad to go to! :5ok: We do have a tradition of 'leaving it late' don't we?

[hitmannq8]

You guys bet all you want, im not betting one dime on this. If we have strikers like Gilardino to depend on then we are in real trouble my friends. Here's some stats for you, in the last 20 years, we never had to play with a lone striker as bad as Gilardino. I dont think we ever had a striker with only 1 goal in CL out of (i think) 10 games now?

Forza Milan, just lets not get complacent.

Does anyone know why Gourcuff didnt even make the bench against Chievo? Any chance he's being saved for the Celtic game? I have a feeling we will see Pippo-Oliveira up front.

[acmilan_nutu]

Hello this is stefan from romania and i wish you all the happyness in the world to all the rossoneri fans and id like to make a prediction : AC MILAN - Celtic 2-0 jankulowski and aladino gilardino .... Forza Grande Milan Ps this is my video , an ac milan tribute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLw88-WTrJ4

[acmilan_nutu]

Forza Aladino Gilardino.....C mon guys gila is such a good striker but he needs time ... Thats all....

I agree that we're lacking that cutting-edge up front, but remember that goals don't have to come from strikers only. If Kaka-Pirlo are on their game like in Glasgow, then we have a good chance of going through. I say Oddo and Janku should fancy their chances and go for goal.

Complacent? Aye, that happens. I think most of us know what serious contenders Celtic are and we're just trying to be positive is all man. :5ok:

We should beat the HELL out of Celtic. 4-0 is good enough :5ok:

Goals from

Gila

Nakamura (own goal)

[Milan4ever]

I have faith that we will win this game. I'm already nervous for Wednesday!

Forza Milan! Non ti lasceremo mai!

[BRN Scozia]

Hello folks, first post for me although I've been reading for a while now.

I think that a positive result for us on Wednesday lies squarely on how we play. If we play as we know that we can then we'll be far too strong for Celtic.

Much has been made here of Nakamura's free kick ability in the Scottish media. This is more in hope than expectation.

Celtic are sorely lacking in the striking and centre back positions. Wednesday is all about Milan and how we play and I fimly believe that if the real Milan turns up then we'll take the tie by two clear goals.

Can't wait ...

Tomorrow's game against Celtic would not be shown on my local TV.....TOO BAD !!!

Starsports and ESPN as well as RCTI (local TV) here in Indonesia will show only MU and Arsenal??
While Milan - Celtic will be shown as recorded game on Friday morning 01.00 am..... :stupid:

But.......I have my confidence that Milan will at least win 3-1 if not 3-0 !!!!!
I will bet for Milan no matter which striker/s will be on the field against Celtic...Gila + Pippo or Gila + Oli or even Gila alone would not change my mind to bet on Milan :5ok: :5ok: :5ok:

[Ross Oneri]

Come on Milan, kick Celtic's derriere :diablo:

[hitmannq8]

Only way we can lose is by gettin complacent, and then we will be looking for any excuses to blame the ref. We should not put ourselves in a situation where the ref will decide the game, we need to score a lot of goals and not defend a 1-0 lead like always. (btw, Markus Mayr (the ref of Barca-Milan last yr) is goin to be the assistant ref tomorrow)

[mrki]

Im sure Maldini was preparing himself for this match and he will lead our defence alongside Bonera.... My prediction.....
.................dida................
oddo...bonera...maldini..marek
..............pirlo...........
..gattuso......ambrosini........
....kaka'.........seedorf.....
............pippo........

I think this will be it, aldough I would like to see Seedorf in Ambro's place and Gourcuff with Kaka'.

[deni]

MILANELLO - Ecco l'elenco ufficiale. PORTIERI: Dida, Kalac, Storari. DIFENSORI: Cafu, Maldini, Costacurta, Simic, Jankulovski, Favalli, Bonera, Oddo. CENTROCAMPISTI: Gattuso, Seedorf, Gourcuff, Pirlo, Kakà, Ambrosini, Brocchi. ATTACCANTI: Ricardo Oliveira, Inzaghi, Gilardino.

Goalless draw will be good enough for us :nervous:

[Mystik]

How so ? Doesn't a goalless draw bring us to extra time ? The first leg finished 0-0...not 1-1.

[Xudong]

maybe he meant NOT good enough for us?

[eltomas2]

we HAVE TO WIN...celtic could draw (except 0-0) and pass...Milan HAS to win

[Xudong]

Inter has just paid for a lesson for us to learn. Never underestimate any opponents. I am very confident but let's keep a cool head. :)

[Warro Bantan]

My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and fellow fans, for the untimely, accidental death of a Celtic supporter in Milan last nite.

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/mar7h.html

I mourn with all who are affected by his departure. May his soul rest in peace.

[hitmannq8]

Its GAME DAY fellow fans. Are we ready??? Is Gourcuff or Seedorf gonnna play? Is it gonna be Pippo/Oliveira upfront? Or will he rely on Gila as usual?? Will Kaka play like how he did before the X-mas break or will he continue with this below average form? Will Dida gift them 1 goal or 2? Is this going to be our captain's last game in the CL after 22 years playing in it?

[Warro Bantan]

Inter meanwhile, could possibly face expulsion (doubt it personally) over the fracas that took place after the match.

That would mean we could still finish 5th, and because they are out, still get into Europe...but UEFA wont sanction them so severly in my estimation...so we better get that 4th spot!

[zlatanov]

I also doubt that the sanctions would be so severe also because there are conflicting reports regarding who started what and who didn't.

On the other hand, however, Inter players did actively participate in the brawl that continued for 15-20 min and what happened on the field is only part of the story given that there was some action in the dressing rooms too. :rolleyes:
And keeping in mind that inter have just recently had problems with UEFA sanctions (the Milan derby debacle of 2 years ago), I guess they should be worried about their situation for next year's CL.

[Tony29.]

Inter meanwhile, could possibly face expulsion (doubt it personally) over the fracas that took place after the match.


And they really must be punished for this with an expulsion.
Their fans stopped a CL 1/4 match against Milan 2 years ago. Their officials ( Faschetti) talked to UEFA officials asking for refs on Inter matches ( or smthg like that) , and their players started a shemeful fight yesterday.
It's always Inter whenever there's a scandal in CL.
We can't just punish them by making them play on empty stadium or by suspending some of their players on 2-3 matches, because it seems like they never learn, they don't care about the warnings they get from UEFA and they continue doing whatever they want.
If it was some eastern European team, i'm 100% sure UEFA would have given few years expulsion from every competition to the entire country, not only to the team.
Platini has to show guts and punish them for what they did, with at least 1 year suspension from european football.

I'm really not saying this as a Juve fan or as Anti-Inter. Juve won't play CL next year so Inter won't be our rivals anyway, and even if they play i know they won't win it. Even more, they will concentrate on the legue and it will be twice harder for Juve to win Serie A.
This time i'm saying it as a football fan - Inter out of Europe for at least 1 year is a must !

[zlatanov]

... and even if they play i know they won't win it ...
I take it you haven't heard what Inter fans are saying about this - "We were unlucky this year but next year will indeed be Inter's year" :grinser:

[Kaka1899]

If we lose to Celtic tonight i dont care our team has done us proud already qualifying so far on such a striker less side and making up the 8 point deficit as long as we hit that 4th place spot in the league and qualify next season does it really matter because whtas the chances of us actually winning it with Liverpool and Chelski been left in the draw? i dont want to bring the place down with doom and gloom but i Believe we can do this but look at Lyon Last season how close did we take that and we have no Sheva now we really need Gila to be sharper to try and knock at least one in for us? also is Kaka playing we need him to be given a bit of space to move in.

I wouldn't be too harsh on Milan if we fail to leave a more memorable trace in this year's CL given all the problems we've had with penalties, lack of transfers and injuries that have been depleting the team all season long.

But I must say that the more this CL progresses, the more I start thinking that our chances of reaching the final are getting better and better given that none of the teams left in it show the consistency in class that is necessary to be considered a clear favourite ... at the same time we seem to have finally found some consistency in our play and the return from injuries of players like Nesta, Serginho, and Ambro would make things a little easier for the team.

With teams like Lyon, Barca, Inter and one of Bayern and Real out for sure, and a severely under-performing Chelsea team (given the star-squad they have), and the poor form of big teams like real M and Bayern, and the not-so-frightening form of ManU, and the unpredictability (read inconsistency) of Liverpool, Valencia, Arsenal, and PSV, all of whom can beat anyone but more often can lose to anyone too ... I guess Roma is the most dangerous team of them all, I think.

Roma are pretty safe for 2nd place in Serie A and will be able to fully concentrate on the CL ... and this is when Roma is dangerous - while they may not have a squad deep enough for fighting on two fronts or a long-lasting competition like Serie A, their starting 11 isn't inferior to anyone out there and when they devote their efforts on CL alone, they will mean trouble.

I guess your right once again Zlat :grinser: but in all seriousness if Celtic score first can you see Milan Rallying up or the heads going down or will they be concentratin on Inter at the weekend too much and letting it all go i really hope Dida has a sturdy game after the blunder he dropped against Chievo at the weekend so does that meen its a good game tonight. im not jumping on the Anti Dida band wagon but you could say Dida got us knocked out of the Coppa italia by letting in Pizzaros howler! Cmon Dida lets have a good game tonight im really nervous becase my friend at college is a Celtic fan :nervous: and he keeps shoutin Mon the hoops at me i really dont like it i want a good sturdy game tonight
so tmorrow i can walk in and give him one big FORZA MILAN!!!!!! :grinser:
:diablo: Forza Gila, Forza Kaka, Forza Dida and last but not least Forza Milan!! :diablo:

[zlatanov]

well, of course everything I said above concerns Milan only if we manage to go thru to the next round. I personally think that milan will give it their all and then some to qualify ... the derby can wait, not to mention that Inter are having some serious selection problem of their own.

I have lots of respect for Celtic and their spirit but if I have to keep it real, I must say that I am liking our chances of going thru a lot - it won't be easy but if we stay focused and determined, we will be in the quarterfinals ... and in all honesty, if we can't beat Celtic over 2 rounds, then I guess we really don't have place in the further stages of this CL.

[Jim_UK]

I don't think Liverpool have been too inconsistent in Europe :D

Speaking of which if Milan come out all guns blazing (like Liverpool) in the first half but get a bit luckier and more opportunist by taking their chances, we could make things very difficult for Celtic.

[zlatanov]

I don't think Liverpool have been too inconsistent in Europe :D

maybe because you are using the EPL for comparison :w154: :D

anyways, they will be a tough opponent for any other team in the CL, that's for sure.

[Helena]

Will Maldini play today?

I hope the team will show everyone what they are made of! :)

[zlatanov]

Will Maldini play today?

yeah, I believe he has recovered and will be ready

I hope inzaghi plays as hes the only forward we have available who can get us through this stages ill be very surpised if gila or ro score

Zlatanov,

I agree, I would be afraid of Liverpool, since they are hot and on the roll now.
They shouldve won yesterday. Man U looks impressive too.

Chelsea side suck. Lamp, Ballack and Drogba never pass the ball, too greedy and taking too many stupid unreasonable shots. Robben is a flop, but I like him more than the 3 i just mentioned. Sheva works hard, but ... the teammates are morons. I wish that Milan plays Chelsea in the next round.

[kastriot]

It was typical PIppo chance but the Celtic defender reacted right before him


And Kaka had another chance...but the ball went wide of the post

[zlatanov]

boring game so far, a couple of half-chances for kaka but he missed them ...

Inzaghi was close to scoring but in the last moment a celtic def intercepted the ball just before it reached Pippo ... this was taking place in the small PA of celtic

zlats - why have u closed the other thread?

anyway the good clear link with the english commentary (ppstream) is freezing too much and is 3 or 4 mins behind

the sopcast one is live i believe but not as clear and not in english but is running at 100% with no buffering so i think i might stick with this one

whats working best for others?

[ukrainian_CA]

Great run but poo pass/shot by Kaka. Maldini initiated the attack, passed to Kaka, imo.

[Giorgos]

Celtic have a gap in the right because nobody plays in the right of the midfield.

the sopcast one is live i believe but not as clear and not in english but is running at 100% with no buffering so i think i might stick with this one

whats working best for others?

Try live-footy.org

[zlatanov]

kaka better learn how to shoot ... his wasting chances with a light hand is starting to get on my nerves :diablo:

[drucurl]

Dida is playing well where is mzk when you need him? :D

[kastriot]

we need to score ASAP in order to reduce the pressure on us

same here - I am using the sopcast one (AA+TV) ... in fact both sopcast links are pretty good.
haven't tried the PPStream one though

[NAMMY]

The PPStream stream is very good quality, keeps stopping and starting for me though.

[zlatanov]

Dida is playing well where is mzk when you need him? :D
he has hardly been tested yet ;)

[ukrainian_CA]

Bayern again came very close to the 2nd goal. 1 on 1 , saved by the real GK

[kastriot]

big mistake by San Paolo and gave away th ball to Venegor...but bonera cleared in time...thank god..

2011: Dangerous times for Celtic as Lee Naylor slides in to take Clarence Seedorf?s cross off the toe of Marek Jankulovski as he prepares to slot the ball home from four yards out.

[ukrainian_CA]

uncharacteristic error by Maldini... good that Celtic could not do much with that

[Giorgos]

Men we needed 2 strikers, we made efforts from wings (more from the left) but we haven't got enough men to finish the last passes.

[Giorgos]

Kaka, shoot far away.

[kastriot]

Men we needed 2 strikers, we made efforts from wings (more from the left) but we haven't got enough men to finish the last passes.
Agree....plus Pippo is useless till now

[ukrainian_CA]

Kaka, shoot far away.
Kaka looks determined to carry us to a victory, he will do it.

[sveto]

usually,Pippo is our saviour in the champions league

[Vadim]

I lost all my streams and temporarily my connection... now Sopcast or anything else won't work.... :mad:

[kastriot]

We are giving away a lot of balls trying to reach for Pippo......

[Kaka1899]

is kaka a man on a mission?

[Blacktop]

Possession: Milan 55, Celtic 45

[Giorgos]

Long passes in front for noone, If we had Ronaldo in CL i would be more confident.

[King tiger]

Well, you cant reall play on wing crosses with 1 striker, we should try to play trough the midlle, where we have advantage.

[zlatanov]

2011: Dangerous times for Celtic as Lee Naylor slides in to take Clarence Seedorf?s cross off the toe of Marek Jankulovski as he prepares to slot the ball home from four yards out.
he nammy, could you post a direct link to the ppstream channel?
the one from myp2p isn't starting for me.
Thanks.

[Blacktop]

Poor old Inzaghi!! He keeps chasing balls over the top, this time another from Seedorf. But they're too heavy and keep running out of his reach!! (Eurosport)

[ukrainian_CA]

Great sequence, Kaka rules! almost! Pippo headed into a crossbar

[kastriot]

CHANCE BY kaka... saved by celtic defense....Ambro hit the Post but there was offside before

[Giorgos]

We had woodwork by heading of Ambro, but the linesman said off-side.

[sveto]

ah Ambro, Ambro
The wood save celtic this time

[Kaka1899]

Ronaldo will b here next season

[Giorgos]

Sometimes, i cannot undestand Anchelotti.

[zlatanov]

another great chance wasted by Kaka ... after that Ambro hits the crossbar after a clarence cross but he, ambro, seems to have fouled a celtic def in the process ... or maybe it was offside, not sure

[mrki]

Carlos tactics are wrong again!! Damn it Carlo!!!!!

[ukrainian_CA]

Bayern again missed a chance. Real shows nothing ...

[asmileneverlies]

Men we needed 2 strikers, we made efforts from wings (more from the left) but we haven't got enough men to finish the last passes.
AGREE WITH 100 %
We playing at home against Celtic (not Chelsea, Man U .......) and we need to win. Still we can see how Pippo is struggling alone there.
I stopped believing in Ancelotti after the Liverpool's game.

[Giorgos]

A dangerous heading from Venegoor

[ukrainian_CA]

McManus YK for a foul on Kaka

[zlatanov]

Carlos tactics are wrong again!! Damn it Carlo!!!!!
Kaka's missed 2-3 great chances so far ... if the tactics were so bad, that wouldn't have been the case ... it's Kaka's precision that sucks not carlo's tactics

[ukrainian_CA]

Makkay 0ne-on-one but slightly off-side...

[kastriot]

Ambro got a yellow card

[ironhustla]

where is gilardino? injured?
inzaghi hasnt started a game lately and carlo puts him in for today - where is the logic?

i hope i get proven wrong but we should have 2 strikers out there and if playing with a lone striker it should be gila

[BRN Scozia]

Cmon Zlat, Kaka is the man, he will come good for Milan tonight. Have faith ...

[Giorgos]

In the recent years we won Real Madrid, Barcelona and we were playing with two strikers, come on, we are Milan....

[Giorgos]

Jarosik shoots out.

[zlatanov]

YC for Ambro after brushing off Sno with a tackle

[Blacktop]

We almost scored an own goal. C'mon, Milan, wake the [expletive] up!!!!

[mrki]

Even if we want to play one striker, we are atill playing with Ambrosini-Gattuso. We could easily use Seedorf and Gourcuff both!

[Giorgos]

[QUOTE=ironhustla]where is gilardino? injured?
inzaghi hasnt started a game lately and carlo puts him in for today - where is the logic?

They are both in bench, along with Kalc, Simic,Favalli,Gourcuff and Broccki.

[zlatanov]

Cmon Zlat, Kaka is the man, he will come good for Milan tonight. Have faith ...
If I didn't have faith I wouldn't be watching at all ;) ... but the guy is getting on me ... this is a game where we have to be more concrete up front not as wasteful as we've been because these chances may come back to haunt us later.

[kastriot]

HT
Lets just say that we are living dangerous now...if we concede we will have less than 45 min to score two!!!!!!!!!!!! :d55: :d55: :d55: :d55:

[mrki]

Come on!! We need 2 strikers to play real football, this is not looking good.

[Giorgos]

HT, the crowd is nervous.

[zlatanov]

Even if we want to play one striker, we are atill playing with Ambrosini-Gattuso. We could easily use Seedorf and Gourcuff both!
if we don't score soon, I am sure we'll introduce another striker, maye even Gorky too but that doesn't change the fact that with the current tactics, we've had 2-3 excellent chances but wasted them

[asmileneverlies]

Kaka is doing well because Celtic does not have a clue on tactics, Ricardo got so much space.
We started pushing a bit, hopefully we can score.

BTW, Ronaldo dived again, he should go with Beckham in Hollywood!

[zlatanov]

HT, the crowd is nervous.
I am nervous too hence my bashing of Kaka :diablo: ... I just don't like the idea of getting out of CL to a team that's much inferior to ours - sorry Celtic fans but what's true is true - just because we waste chance after chance

[Pireloke]

nervous. That's what describes me most atm. No working streams for me, sopcast keeps buffering at 97%, streamerone same and ppstream doesn't even start lol... and judging the comments here we're not doing well. We must do better than Inter grrrr... don't give me a heart attack extra time or penalties please Milan...

[nefremo]

I'm starting to get pissed off right now. How is it still 0-0????????? This is officially the worst team in the CL, they are absolutely horrible. They can't even pass the ball more then 3 times. 3 passes and they lose the ball. Milan is applying tremendous high pressure and we've had some opportunities but they are handling Pippo like he is a little kid. Let's hope we can score early in the 2nd half.

[mrki]

We are simply not pushing enough as this team is not made for scoring but for playing for a draw or 1-0 games. I dont like it a bit....

[Ghost]

Ive just tuned in, I heard something about a Penalty was it really a Penalty?

[ukrainian_CA]

Raul hits a post (or side netting) in the 3rd min of added time

[zlatanov]

nervous. That's what describes me most atm.

try pressing the PLAY button on that sopcast stream
or if it dowsn't start then retsrt your PC and try again

[asmileneverlies]

If you want to play with only one striker, you should stick with Gilardino not Inzaghi.
Then Pippo did not play a game for a month as well.

[zlatanov]

We are simply not pushing enough as this team is not made for scoring but for playing for a draw or 1-0 games. I dont like it a bit....
I think carlo's expected this but is just trying to be a little more cautious and careful because of the away goal rule ... as the game progresses, and if we don;t score soon, I am sure we'll see changes.

[ukrainian_CA]

I am nervous too hence my bashing of Kaka :diablo: ... I just don't like the idea of getting out of CL to a team that's much inferior to ours - sorry Celtic fans but what's true is true - just because we waste chance after chance
Kaka is fine, he will score or assist. Look, the chances he had were not very clean ones. He works really hard, he is our engine. I also like Kaka - Seedorf
connections. It will come, give it time.

[Jeff]

If you want to play with only one striker, you should stick with Gilardino not Inzaghi.
Then Pippo did not play a game for a month as well.

I totally agree... not becoz it's Pippo but becuaase he didn't play for a month. If they both played equal amount of time, I"ll also prefer Pippo....

ANyway..

[Mystik]

I missed the first half due to a traffic jam:( How are we playing ?

[zlatanov]

Ive just tuned in, I heard something about a Penalty was it really a Penalty?
you could say that ... the ball hit Maldini's hand, it was ball to hand but still many refs would have given a PK.

[Warro Bantan]

This would have been the perfect score for Celtic going into the break...0-0 is just what they want.

Pippo is being out-muscled, out thought, and out played by the Celtic defense...we need Gila and Oliviera on, though we may end up conceding space in the 2nd half, by giving up one midfielder...

But we have to change something...or at least I hope Carlo does at the break...this is no time to be ultra-conservative, then have to throw caution to the wind because Celtic score a goal.

[ukrainian_CA]

On a replay, I do not see Ambro fouling when he hit a crossbar. Maybe there other striker, Pippo?, was offside?

[mrki]

How is the crowd reaction at the half time whistle
? I didnt catch that.

[joeycuccaro]

just saw the "hand ball" again on a replay... we dodged a bullet...

[ukrainian_CA]

Incredible start by Real it was. They kicked off the ball, the 2nd touch - backpass was bad - intercept - pass through and Makkay scores with ease!

[mrki]

I knew they understand me :)

[joeycuccaro]

On a replay, I do not see Ambro fouling when he hit a crossbar. Maybe there other striker, Pippo?, was offside?

massimo was offside

[Dr Milano]

True true .... but pippo isnt having agood game need more strikers as you mentioned , hopefully gorky will replace seedorf and that massimo will be sacrificed for a striker

[nefremo]

He was not off-side, if was a terrible call. He was totally onside but it the ref made a mistake. It happens.

[sveto]

God, please help us in the 2nd half
we really need some miracle, we were a bit predictable
An expected tough match, Celtic has nothing to lose

[ACMILAN1983]

We've done ok until now. A slightly nervy start, but after about 15 mins we relaxed and applied a lot of pressure. Kaka has been very wasteful in front of goal until now, but his performance is superb other than that.

Pippo was obviously started as he runs in behind the defenders, and considering how many opportunities we got from this last match. Unfortunately, our final ball in this match has been poor at best.

Seedorf has generally been ok, but I think he needs to press forward and support the front two a lot faster. Right now he's staying deeper than he needs to. Also when on the ball, he has to move it quicker, because up until now he's been holding it trying to beat players every time.

I'm not too nervous yet, as unless there is a massive mistake from us, Celtic don't look like they'll be a huge threat. However, enough of wasting our opportunities, we simply can't afford it.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Warro Bantan]

Mystik: We dominated the first half, getting by far the better chances..Ambro hit the bar with a header, and Kaka had one or two other opportunities to score.

My stream was breaking up a bit, so I am sure I might have missed something. My post above describes Pippo´s basic inability to contribute in a meaningful way to the game, and I hope he is substituted during the half.

We are ruling the midfield, limiting their chances to when we make mistakes...Maldini made one, but luckily we recovered...he tried to beat Hessilink (I think) on the touchline, but ended up gifting him the ball, the resultant break we squashed though.

If we contine as we were, with a little more bite, we should win this comfortably...but Carlo, IMO will have to make some changes.

FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIIILAN!!!! Give us a goal or two Kaka!!

[ukrainian_CA]

Pippo is being out-muscled, out thought, and out played by the Celtic defense...we need Gila and Oliviera on, though we may end up conceding space in the 2nd half, by giving up one midfielder...



Pipo seems to be lacking some timing. He needs his timing belt changed at half-time.
Everytime Kaka passes to Pipo he seems to be looking elswhere or struggling with a defender...

[asmileneverlies]

HALF TIME GOSSIP:
What do you think about Mancini's goal?
It was very good, great skill!

[sveto]

we need Pippo, regardless
His moment will come in the 2nd half

[ukrainian_CA]

True true .... but pippo isnt having agood game need more strikers as you mentioned , hopefully gorky will replace seedorf and that massimo will be sacrificed for a striker

Please, please keep Seedorf in. He has been fast and furious today.

[Blacktop]

If you want to play with only one striker, you should stick with Gilardino not Inzaghi.
Then Pippo did not play a game for a month as well.
Plus, Pippo is known for his positioning, not for charging through the D like an angry bull. If anything will kill this game, it's Carlo's bonehead tactics.

[kastriot]

Kaka is really unlucky today........

[mrki]

Pippo hasnt played for a while and every time he played as a solo striker it was BAD. He a slinical no.9 and needs a player up front with him. My suggestion:

[Dr Milano]

Please, please keep Seedorf in. He has been fast and furious today.

i was in two minds anyways mate :zany: seedorfs got experience and good shots so i guess we should keep him in after all see how 2nd half goes

[zlatanov]

Kaka is really unlucky today........
don't think luck has much to do with it ... if he can't hit the ball in the right way, it's not gonna go in and that's it

[kastriot]

Free kick......... Pirlo .....saved by the keeper

[Giorgos]

Pirlo hits a foul but no problem for Boruts.

[zlatanov]

i was in two minds anyways mate :zany: seedorfs got experience and good shots so i guess we should keep him in after all see how 2nd half goes
thanks a lot ... we all appreciate it :D

[ukrainian_CA]

Pippo broke one on one, however the ref called a foul on Kaka, freekick straight in the center, saved by GK.

[kastriot]

don't think luck has much to do with it ... if he can't hit the ball in the right way, it's not gonna go in and that's it
I refered to the last chance...when he couldnt get the ball to his feet so he could pas to Pippo

[joeycuccaro]

damnit i hate streaming lag!!

[Blacktop]

It's so obvious that the boobs at Eurosport are rooting for Celtic.

[kastriot]

Janku crosed...Pippo hit the ball...but wide of the post

[ukrainian_CA]

Pippo seems to be fidning his rythm

[Giorgos]

The same tempo, again, again and again.

[kastriot]

Good defending but pooooor crosses by Oddo

[Blacktop]

Pippo seems to be fidning his rythm
Good. Let's translate that into a score, for Pete's sake!!

[joeycuccaro]

pippo is an amazing striker because of his positioning and mentality.. he will be in the right place sooner or later

[zlatanov]

It's so obvious that the boobs at Eurosport are rooting for Celtic.
from the remarks of others who use Eurosport's "analysis", I am guessing they aren't pro-Celtic but simply anti-Milan, no matter who we play.

[Giorgos]

Foul outside Celtic's area.

[ukrainian_CA]

what happened? foul , why outside the box? it was just inside imo

[Kaka1899]

maybe Pippo got a rocket up him at half time?

[asmileneverlies]

guys that was a penalty .........

[Giorgos]

Janku shoots on the wall.

[sveto]

guys, I mentioned before, stay away from eurosport,period!!!!!!!!

This is a sleaping game, Gravesen, for Jarosic.

Gravesen in Jarosik out midfilder for support striker

[Pireloke]

oddo seems a bit tired to me, maybe cafu could come in to help with building the attack

This game is making me nervous

Zlt, i agree.

in the transmission of Ac Milan say that Kaka looks tired

[asmileneverlies]

huge penalty not given to PSV!!! Unbeliveable

[zlatanov]

I have a feeling we'll soon see a second striker come in ;)

[BRN Scozia]

Oddo shouldn't be tired? I'd put Gila on for Ambro.

[Stitch]
