As expressed in the PSV game thread, I think as important a match as this is, we will need to rest some of our key players for the return leg in Holland.
We may have crushed the Viola in Milan, but at home they are a very tricky proposition. Also, they will be gunning for revenge of the 6 goal thrashing they received in the San Siro...not a happy prospect indeed...and though I am not suggesting that dirty play may ensue, I am not ruling it out...and it would be a severe blow for us if any of our key attackers picked up a knock ruling him out of the 2nd leg of the semi final, or against the Zebra´s at home the following Serie A match day.
Because I know Carlo comes to this site to frequently view our suggestions for his starting line up,
I will propose the following players and formation:
Christmas Tree:
Dida in goal
Pancaro---Nesta---Stam---Kaladze (Stam to be replaced by Maldini in the 2nd half)
Ambro----Brocci----Serghino (Ambro or Serghino to be replaced by Gattuso or Dhorasso in the 2nd half)
---Rui---Kaka---(Kaka to be replaced by Dhorasso in the 2nd half)
---Crespo---(Cresp to be relieved by JDT in the 2nd half)
The replacements as indicated would only be used if we are leading by a 2 goal margin, and the players to be subbed are obviously tiring...
Ok Carlo, now run with this....
...if you want to of course........
I wont elaborate on the obvious that we only have 3 changes, and that Dhorasso cannot play in two positions at once
FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILAN!!!
