Fave Players: Van Basten from the past and Maldini from the pres
Hesham is on a distinguished road
All what I have to say is well done to our players and they really played an excellent match and were by far the better side . We controlled the match from start to finish and created a handful of clear cut goalscoring opportunities that we sorrily wasted . Enough that Juve who were the home side didn't have a single clear chance on goal for the whole match . We needed a little bit of luck to finish off the match . The result even though disappointing considering the way we played it still preserved our title hopes and a four point margin is not a big deal to recover . The match witnessed a big surprise in our starting line-up after our legendary captain Maldini didn't start at the last moment and veteran defender Billy Costacurta stepped in his place in central defence . I am really amazed from Billy's pereformance who never dissapoints and always up to our expectations whenever he is called into action inspite of being 39 year old . At a very physical match with a very fast pace he still can perform at the highest level . Kaladze was chosen to start ahead of Pancaro at left-back . The rest of the starters were all regulars in a 4-3-1-2 format . Juve on the other side played a 4-4-2 . Our midfielders did a tremendous job in breaking up their attacks and winning most of the challenges and won the battle of midfield . Crespo was playing as our main target striker with golden ball winner and our prolific striker moving everywhere to the flanks or back to escape marking and come from deep in spaces . Cafu was providing an excellent width to our attacks on the right while Kaladze completely neutralized their winger Camoranesi and made him invisible . Kaka tried hard to set up Sheva or Crespo or make attempts on goal but his efforts resulted in nothing . Juve were defending mostly and with the game going in our favour Capello didn't risk and seemed to be playing for the draw . Some stupid refereeing decisions blocked us like a not counted penalty after Crespo was pulled down from Zebina or a completely wrong offside call to stop a one on one for Sheva while he was completely onside . Anyway we should put this result behind us and focus on our next match after the league resumes . Personally I salute our players for that match and things like that happen as football is not always fair in terms of results . FORZA MILAN
