AC Milan - Inter (pre-game comments)

I think three aspects of our game must be improved at the moment.

1) The full backs need to work on positioning in defensive areas. Clearly, Cafu leaves holes behind him when running forward and Maldini is struggling to adjust to LB as he drifts into CB positions at times. However, I think these just need time.

2) Ball possession hasn't been as good as previous two seasons so far. This is mostly due to the midfield not being in full flow. I think this will be of importance.

3) Pressure game. Currently we sit back and invite our opponents a little more than we should. Imo I think we should aim to play a slightly more aggressive game to make life difficult for the opposition. I also think doing this will helo our midfield dominate matches better.

Against Inter, I especially hope to see the third problem rectified. If we place high pressure on the Inter midfield, we'll most likely stop the flow of their game. Also, Adriano and Vieri won't have the service they need to make an effect if this happends and we'll dominate the match.

Simply, the midfield is crucial in this match. People talk about Sheva v Adriano, but whichever team's midfield dominates has the best chance of winning the match.

Anyway, Lets get a win!

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - I'm gonna actually miss the match because I have Wing Chun class, but hopefully I'll come home to a great result!
