Rui Costa: “I come to earn”
TEACHER ADMITS EMOTION WHEN STEPPING ON GROUND MILANÊS

The fact of the airplane with equips of the Benfica to have fond of terminal 2 of the airport of Malpenza, the habitual one and discreter international landing of you equip them of soccer, deprived, for already, the popular reception that if waits that the adepts “rossoneri” have reserved for Rui Costa. However, it did not leave to impress the amount of the Italian press that waited the man who was known in Calcium as the “Regista”.

“Very I am moved by being here and going to play in the stadium of a club where I passed five years and for which I nourish the maximum respect”, confessed Rui Costa, that after speaking of the pleasure in reencontrar friends as Kaká and Seedorf, among others, explained that although everything, waits that this ticket for San Siro brings some? bitterness. “I come to earn and the secret to make it is to have the biggest respect for the Milan. It is best equips of the World but we cannot think that they are invincible.”

Expressing in a fluid, proper Italian of who the professional career between Florença made practically all and Milan, Rui Costa also was extremely contained and alone in the end, when questioned on the hypothesis of it ties up to it granted: “Make 1 point? make points in Milan is always a good one resulted.” But the ideia that left well wrinkled is that the Benfica will have to play without fear. “We go to make our result”, say Rui Costa.

Portuguese newspaper

Not to under estimate Benfica but.........Milan is Milan and the opener game against Benfica shouldn't be the toughest one in group D.

Today Benfica's Rui Costa was one of Milan's star in the past but this doesn't mean that Milan shall give points to Benfica...not even 1 point.

My prediction is that Milan win 3 - 0.....Pippo, Kaka and Seedorf will score one goal each.
But.... to appreciate Rui...no problem to let him score 1 goal to make it 3 - 1.....

i hope we win...Milan got something to prove after dat shocking performance...

Armando Petit injured the right knee and he will be out for 6 weeks
He is a very important player for the Encarnados Vermelhos

Good Luck Benfica and good luck Milan

First of all, best of luck to both teams: Especially Milan.

Second, this is going to prove to be a hard game, and is open to all possible results.
However, it is a must-win for us, and I have faith in our boys, once again. Especially after the poor display against Siena, this is a good chance for them to redeem themselves. And if we drew at Siena just because we had this game in mind, and we did not play some key players for that matter, then we better own the game tomorrow!

FORZA MILAN!!!

No mention of squad yet. What's the situation with Kaka?

I think he's just fine, he scored a brace in the morning training after the match against Siena

acmilan.com:

GOALKEEPERS: Dida, Kalac;
DEFENDERS: Bonera, Cafu, Favalli, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Nesta, Oddo, Simic;
MIDFIELDERS: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Emerson, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf;
ATTACKERS: Gilardino, Inzaghi.

Welcome to milanmania ines!!

This game has become a "must win" for us, especially after dropping 2, and nearly losing all 3, in our previous match, in preparation for it.

We welcome Kaka and Pirlo back to the starting 11, and I hope that Gorky will get a run at some point in the game as well.

Rui Costa, one of my all time fav players, is making his return to the San Siro, and while I wish him a good game, I certainly hope his team loses.

I expect a good game from us, for Benfica to try to get us on the counter, and the 3 points....and nothing less.

FORZA MIIIIIIIIIIILAN!!

Tanks...I Hhpe see a great game and the best team win, in this case i hope Benfica win

Good Luck to both teams the huges in the world

Rui Costa, ahhhh.. definitely one of my favourite players. Prolly the most talented one in the Ancelotti era. I think if Milan don't win convincingly we will be in trouble for the next few weeks. We rested our key players over the weekend just for this game, so we have no excuses.

i've heard that Prilo is in doubt for this game against benfica
that won't be good no one can't replace our best midfilder, if emerson play i hope that he will play better than against siena

my heart does not stop a minute
