But still I have to admit, the defence tactic was superb with trio Maldini, Nesta and Dida. I have also to give credit to Oddo who was really good to defend last night. Ambro, Pirlo and Gattuso were so solid in midfield plus seedorf covered the flank.

I think it was mostly fatigue in the second half, Carlo and the players have also said since the game that they could have held the ball better, and probably should have score. It wasn't easy to watch, but I think overall we were pretty comfortable.

We didnt do great counter attack. We could win more then 3-0.

Our counterattacking moves weren't great, but were pretty good on the whole. They were fairly swift moves and in the end, had Serginho been match fit and Kaka less tired, I think we would have scored more.

I dont think Oddo was just ok. He was great to cover the right side and helped Nesta a lot. His performance was great in defence tactical point of view.
|
I think he was good (I guess the term "ok" is a bit subdued), but offensively he gave little (often giving the ball away or kicking it almost aimlessly forward), and did make a couple of mistakes during the match. On the whole though, defensively he was good, though his lack of offensive play stopped him from being great.

Lucio was superb last night but I do think last night was not Kaka's best performance. He was beaten by Lucio in catching the ball with sprint, it's unusual for me. His passing to Gourcuff, last shot on the second half and unsuccesful dribble just showed me that he needs rest. He was not fresh. He played too much.

Though I agree Kaka looks fatigued and never played his best against Bayern, I think Lucio on the whole had Kaka well covered. Lucio is a very good defender, and what makes him difficult to beat is he is big and strong, but also fast (very good acceleration) too, which means he is well suited to Kaka's style of a direct and fast game.

For seedorf, I do hope he can mantain his last night performance. That's closed to old Seedorf I know with very good covering the left side area, dribbling and holding the ball, accurate pass. But still I couldnt see his old speed. He was still too slow for me, sorry.

I doubt he'll ever really regain any real pace in his game, i think his game now has to be based less on running and more on technique, which when performing like last night will still be very useful.
