Treviso vs. AC Milan (Pre-game & Game Comments)

[hitmannq8]

IMO, Gattuso, Vieri, Vogel should all start this game.. Kaka, Sheva, Maldini, and Pirlo must be given a rest. Serginho might as well start. Inzaghi will return to Milanello on Saturday, will he be able to be selected for the game?

[K77SH C]

What about Gilardino??

[Bosniaco]

Well Treviso may make us some problems !!?!
But if we play like we played against Samp and Lazio, no problems 0:2. Gila will definitly start !

[K77SH C]

Hey Bosniaco, I like your avatar, just goes to show that we shouldnt even pay attention to rumours :firedev:

[Billy_Montreal]

I believe Inzaghi begins TRAINING on Saturday but I'm not sure about his fitness level ... I think it will be a while before he sees action.
I think Rui Costa will see some action against Treviso...

[Milan3869]

we should field this squad against treviso:

-------------dida------------

cafu---nesta----maldini---kaladze

----ambro----pirlo------seedorf--

------------kaka---------------

-----shevchenko----gila-------

subs:
vogel for pirlo
shevchenko for vieri
serginho for seedorf

[otoniel]

I think Sheva and maybe Kaka should be rested because of the Champions league game on Wednesday in Germany

[Gipson]

info about Pippo: 'I am well. My left knee is not causing me any problems. I have worked so much that it is like I have already played ten matches. The tests tell me what still needs to be done. I do not know if I will return to the team. I need to wait until the break at the beginning of October. After that I will definitely be ready.'

[Hitman]

It is a match where we can only disappoint, so we have to fully concentreted on this one. This is definatly a MUST WIN match.
Probable lineup: Dida - Cafu, Nesta, Stam, Kaladze - Ambrosini, Pirlo, Seedorf - Kaka - Gilardino, Shevchenko.

[mrki]

This could be our lineup....
-----------dida--------
stam--nesta-maldini-serginho--
---------vogel-----
-ambrosini---seedorf--
-----------rui costa--
--sheva-------gila

I think Carlo will rest Cafu and we can attack from left with serginho. Rui can play, we need sheva and gila up front.

[Tobinho]

This could be our lineup....
-----------dida--------
stam--nesta-maldini-serginho--
---------vogel-----
-ambrosini---seedorf--
-----------rui costa--
--sheva-------gila

I think Carlo will rest Cafu and we can attack from left with serginho. Rui can play, we need sheva and gila up front.

I think Kaladze will start, unfortunately.
It would be good to rest a few players, but confidence really needs to be built up right now, so we must insure a win, preferrably a heavy win with a clean sheet.

[Dil dil]

This game shouldn't be difficult since they Treviso are so small team on last place with no point so if we play well and don't make minor mistaks we should win
3-0 our goal be Gila -vieri and pirlo . I think Sheva needs to be rested along
with kaka and Nesta.

[hitmannq8]

Rui must rust, if he doesnt, Carlo will prove to us that he is still hard-headed and will doesnt not want to use rotation. Carlo shouldn't let Kaka lose his form, Kaka should be given a few minutes of playing time at the end of the Treviso game to fire him up for Schalke. Same with Cafu and Pirlo. These players should save their energies for Schakle.

What is going on with Jankulovski? When will he be back?

[jani]

Pirlo was supposed to rest Sampdoria but instead played againts them AND Lazio. He really should be rested for this one.

I think we will either see Seedorf in his role or maybe even Vogel. I think it's Stam's turn to rest.

Dida

Cafu
Nesta
Maldini
Kaladze

Seedorf

Gattuso
Serginho

Rui Costa

Shevchenko
Gilardino

[ASHWIN]

I think it will b pretty much the same team that faced Lazio. Maldini will replace Stam. Our midfield should b the same. Although i hope that Rui plays instead of Kaka. Kaka wiil burn out if he goes on like this. Gila must play instead of Vieri.

[jani]

Actually its gonna be..

Dida

Stam Nesta Maldini Sergio

Pirlo

Ringhio Seedorf

Ricky

Sheva Gila


Carletto has confirmed this..

[Dr Milano]

']Actually its gonna be..

Dida

Stam Nesta Maldini Sergio

Pirlo

Ringhio Seedorf

Ricky

Sheva Gila


Carletto has confirmed this..not bad but cafu is missing noooo and ambro its ok though because it is easy opponent and i like seedorf know cause of his hairstyle and his game against lazio he tries know he is better than last season know

[Beuller]

I don't mind Cafu being out of that line-up as Gattuso seems to not let him overlap as much these days anyway. I hope for dry weather and we should manage to win (even with Gattuso clogging up our attack). :D

[rae]

']Actually its gonna be..

Dida

Stam Nesta Maldini Sergio

Pirlo

Ringhio Seedorf

Ricky

Sheva Gila


Carletto has confirmed this..If it is true what you say, Craletto is a fool. I bet he/we will suffer in future that Kaka has no free days... and Rui has no chance to show himself :mad:

[Dr Milano]

very true rui costa needs to start against some small clubs he can score anyways

:delol:Nice team im ok with that team out and what about ambrosini

[meazza]

this game is must win, either as game to keep the pace with Juve or to take advantage of dropped points.

I'd take a draw at schalke for a win here (great thing about our group is whilst all the teams are good and there is no whipping boys, all the teams are also completely beatable at homa and away so we should pick and choose our moments to go for maximum points) so I hope it's the most on form players: Amrbosini, Sheva and Kaka all defiently to start.

[slicknick]

I would like to see Rui Costa, Vieri, and Kaladze starting instead of Kaka, Sehva, and Maldini. Give some of the key plaers a rest and we should be good to go for Wednesday.
And about the game against Treviso, life is full of surprises but I have faith in Milan once again in this game.. :5ok: :5schal: :5schal:

[meazza]

2-1 juve. Viera scored in 82, after they where initially 1-0 down. I bloody knew juve would win.

man u beaten in england, britain in the davis cup, of course juve where going to win.

I think I may be a bad luck charm, sorry guys.

[jani]

Referee's and Juventus sure love each other.

[mrki]

I ve seen juve tonight and aldough they won 2-1 juve shoved some real fighting spirit, pure power...we need that kind of managing ! Going 120% in every tackle, zambrotta running like a mad man....juve is reaaally strong!
But, MILAN IS MILAN!!
This is a statemant I found in Croatian papers, Ronaldinho says : " Aldough Chelsea offered my 120 000 000, chelsea has no tradition and is not as big as Milan or Barca! Teams like Chelsea can never be real champions..." hehe....

[kenny_shev]

Every game for us now is a must win as Juve seems unlikely to drop anything this season. I just hope we wont become too heavily Kaka-Sheva dependent. Gila & Vieri 'd better find their scoring boots soon or we could be in for a hard and long season.

I agree with someone here pointing out that Sheva, Kaka deserve a rest. So ideally we should go out securing the win in the first half then some of our key players can be taken out for the CL game.

A record-breaking game for Maldini !!! Hope we win it for him too. Forza Maldini!!

[mk18]

personally i would rather win the 1st 4 CL matches and play reserves on the following 2 in the group stage, so even though trevisio might be tricky i think we should rest a few players for schalke and get the win there, heres my formation for today


----------------dida----------------

----costacurta--stam---maldini-----

----------------vogel--------------
----gattuso------------------------
--------------seedorf--------------
--------------------------serginho-
------------rui costa--------------

------gila-----------vieri----------


im not underestimating treviso, but i doubt theyd want to attack us and instead they will defend and a 3 man defence should be played so should serginho and rui, we could easily win here today, and then we go with the big players for schalke and get 3 there

Dida
Stam - Sandro - Billy - Kakha
Rino - Vogel - Sergi
Rui
Gila - Bobo
:star:

[shevagol_7]

The game has started and Milan are lined up like this:

Stam-Nesta-Maldini-Serginho

-----------Pirlo
---Gattuso---------Seedorf
-----------Kaka'
------Sheva------Gila

[kenny_shev]

yeap..i m watching the game live. We didnt play as cohesively as we did last season. A lot of passes went astray so far..(most of them off Seedorf's boots..and he lost quite a few balls) Gila has not yet developed an understanding with Sheva so it seems. We nearly got caught at the back by pace...will post updates later

[kenny_shev]

they just missed another big chance again..our defense looked totally stationary on that occasion

[kenny_shev]

nobody here?

[mrki]

C'mon people, let me know what is happening!!!

[Staci]

Is there anywhere besides livescore to find out what is happeneing, we don't seem to be getting much info here .....

[kenny_shev]

Our mid lost a bit of authority in the middle of the park, allowing Trevi to attack us more now....We dont look at all cohesive...Not yet anyway

[shevagol_7]

Apparantly Seedorf had a shot tipped into Gila's path and he had his shot into the open net brilliantly blocked.

[mrki]

How the hell can Treviso attack us more when juve is 8 points in front!!! Whats wrong with Carlo!! Make them press....

[kenny_shev]

ok..i let you guys know..Trevi are doing very well in closing us down and playing a quite a physical game. So far we have not shown any of the flowing football we are famous for. Trevi had few chances. We had one offside call incorrect..and few freekicks (which are in pretty good positions) wasted..We really need a freekick specialist

[kenny_shev]

Apparantly Seedorf had a shot tipped into Gila's path and he had his shot into the open net brilliantly blocked.

yeap..it wasnt Gila's shot..a Trevi defender was quick to the ball first and cleared..Seedorf did well on the other occasion though ..wrong footed 3 trevi players but his cross was too easy for their goalie

[kenny_shev]

Pirlo so far is pretty bad..looks out of ideas as well as gas

[kenny_shev]

WE ARE GIVEN a PENALTY !!!!!!

[kenny_shev]

Great pass by kaka and Gila was brought down.B4 that Sheva had to cope with an elbow that went unpunished...Their goalie is receing treatment right now

[shevagol_7]

Both Gila and the Trevisio keeper hurt here.

Sheva is lining up too not Pirlo.

[shevagol_7]

gooooooooooooooooooool shevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvva

[Bosniaco]

Sheva 0:1 niceeeeee

[kenny_shev]

Sheva goal !!!! 1- 0 for us

[meazza]

after you said pirlo was bad I was half and half about wether he should take the pen.

then again sometimes he's the only guy that can score.

[meazza]

woooo.

no worries

[Il capitano]

Pirlo looks very tired and should not come out in second half.

[shevagol_7]

Pirlo looks very tired

It's incredible that he has to play so much when we have an inform Rui Costa on the bench.

[Il capitano]

it's not fair to rui costa. I know he can shake the treviso defence.

[shevagol_7]

HT 1-0

We looked shaky though hopefully we can come up with a better performance in the 2nd half. Kaka' and Sheva are looking really good right now. Hopefully Rui will be in at some point in the second half.

Has anyone else noticed that Gila is the kind of player who can win penalties? Last year it seemed like we hardly had any penalties awarded to us so I am excpecting morethis year.

[mihan]

Is there any channel show this match live in Canada?

[kenny_shev]

half time now.. tbh, not much in the half if you ask me..We started off well obviously taking the advantages of Trevi's nerves. Then our mid slacked off a bit and allowed Trevi more possession. Some good defending by Stam but he is definitely not a natural right back.

Gila showed some good first touches and won us the penalty. Gila, however, still needs time to blend in. Seedorf was a bit slow at first, giving way too many balls away. Pirlo has not played well so far a part a well -taken long ranged effort..

Only Kaka looked lively in the first half. We definitely have a lot of room for improvement.Hope we play better in the 2nd half. And hope to see a bit of Rui too

[Staci]

Nope nothing in Canada....tln is airing the Samp game and RAI isn't airing any game at all.....

[kenny_shev]

Nope nothing in Canada....tln is airing the Samp game and RAI isn't airing any game at all.....

It's the first time ESPN shows Milan game here since I subscribed in June. They rather showed Lecce - Treviso game for some reasons ?? :5love:

[mihan]

And I saw Roma's match on espn? Thank u a lot anyway, staci.

[Bosniaco]

Fox soccer channel is showing Roma !

[Billy_Montreal]

Nope nothing in Canada....tln is airing the Samp game and RAI isn't airing any game at all.....


Correction..RAI is airing Empoli-Lecce match. They highlights from the Milan match are not even announced because RAI does not have the rights to Treviso (and a few other teams).

[Billy_Montreal]

Fox soccer channel is showing Roma !

That game is a repeat of last week...careful

[Bosniaco]

That game is a repeat of last week...careful
No man, its live Cagliari - Roma
it sucks man i can watch Samp - Chievo or Cagliari - Roma they both suck

[kenny_shev]

We are already under pressure....They just had a big chance...the ball luckily didnt end up in our net...WE are REALLY LOOKing SHAKY

[Billy_Montreal]

No man, its live Cagliari - Roma

Sorry i meant the Canadian Fox is airing last week's game.

[Billy_Montreal]

We are already under pressure....They just had a big chance...the ball luckily didnt end up in our net...WE are REALLY LOOKing SHAKY

Kenny who is airing the game?? what channel?

[Staci]

But what's going on in OUR game ? .....lol

[devoted_dm]

We are already under pressure....They just had a big chance...the ball luckily didnt end up in our net...WE are REALLY LOOKing SHAKY

Nah, not shaky. Lazy.

[kenny_shev]

Kenny who is airing the game?? what channel?
ESPN mate..what a nice supprise..:D

[kenny_shev]

Cafu in..stam out

[Staci]

Billy did you find the game anywhere here ?

[kenny_shev]

We look content with the 1-0 lead..nothing much created in attack so far in the 2nd half..

[Billy_Montreal]

Billy did you find the game anywhere here ?

No .. its not airing here Stace. RAI has Empoli-Lecce ... TLN has Samp.-Chievo and the only sort of audio broadcast I can find is on milaninter.fm which is not really giving a play by play of the game but real time updates..by the way, this is a 24 hour talk show on Milan and Inter which is a great laugh at times...

STACE..Answer your PM's damnit!

[shevagol_7]

Galeoto picks up a yellow.

[shevagol_7]

By the way Pozzi a player owned by Milan has scored for Empoli.

[Billy_Montreal]

Did Gattuso almost score?? Audio broadcasters said he came close to goal ...

[kenny_shev]

Gattuso just missed..not by much though..When will we learn that we have to kill the game off and 1 goal lead is not that comfortable?

[devoted_dm]

Gattuso wasted a massive opportunity.

I'm kinda nervous about this game. Wouldn't be surprised if Treviso somehow managed to equalize.

[kenny_shev]

Did Gattuso almost score?? Audio broadcasters said he came close to goal ...

Yeap ..good work by Sheva..We had number..kaka first touch somehow made the ball fall nicely for rino..he shot..and just missed

[devoted_dm]

Gilardino missed a sitter. God damn it!

[kenny_shev]

We just hand another chance..Gila just also missed..

[kenny_shev]

Gattuso wasted a massive opportunity.

I'm kinda nervous about this game. Wouldn't be surprised if Treviso somehow managed to equalize.

I am having that feeling too.. Treviso are just hanging in there..and they work hard..It's so frustrating

[shevagol_7]

Sub: Kaladze for Seedorf

Looks like Serginho will move into midfield.

Makes sense sincee Cafu is on too now.

[devoted_dm]

Gilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

2-0!!!!!

[Il capitano]

giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[kenny_shev]

2- 0 !!! Gila

[shevagol_7]

GILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAl

[Billy_Montreal]

This is indeed a bit scary...Treviso finished fifth in Serie B last season and found itself in Serie A because of some luck. I really thought this was going to be our blow out game ....

CUT

MILAN SCORED !!!!!!!! GILA GOAL!!!!!!!!

DESCRIPTIONS PLEASE

[kenny_shev]

just a note: Gattuso for the assist :D...He did good today i think..

[kenny_shev]

CUT

MILAN SCORED !!!!!!!! GILA GOAL!!!!!!!!

DESCRIPTIONS PLEASE

Pirlo angled a long ball to the far post.. Great work by Gattuso to get to the ball and head it back to Gila..and Gila headed it in the open net

[shevagol_7]

Gatusso made a nice run and Pirlo found him he headed it to Gilardino who nodded it in.

[shevagol_7]

Sub: Rui for Shevchenko

It's everyone's favourite formation, the X-mas tree.

[devoted_dm]

Almost 3-0! Kaka came close there.

[Staci]

How much time is left ????????

[shevagol_7]

its the 78' right now.

[devoted_dm]

It looks like Treviso have run out of steam. They were actually pretty good in long periods of this match, but they are really struggling to keep up with us right now.

[devoted_dm]

Gila missed another big chance.

[kenny_shev]

Pirlo plays much better now..much more involved than in the 1st half. We have looked much better since Cafu came in

[devoted_dm]

Kaka denied what looked like an obvious penalty.

[shevagol_7]

3 mins extra time

[devoted_dm]

Aaaaaand it's over. Treviso 0-2 Milan. A decent game from us. Can't really complain about anything.

Impressive comeback from Lazio today, btw. From 0-2 to 4-2 against Palermo.

[shevagol_7]

FT Milan 2-0 Trevisio

(Sheva, Gila)

[Staci]

I don't really care "how" they got there, just glad they did. Good job boys !
BILLY answer YOUR pm's dammit ! ...lol

[jani]

well done. Forza Milan
