Dida

Dida haters ? Guys, have you watched Milan games in the last 3 years ? Do you know what a decent keeper is ? Do you think we deserve to have a player that is the world laughing stock and makes this team looks much more average than it is ....?

I wouldn't be able to concentrate either if everyone were constantly on my back.

Are you serious? Training sessions are the first thing to watch to see if a player is on form.

This is surreal. The most part of market threads are full of people asking for young blood, and when the biggest worldwide promise comes we should be fools because our hopes are on a tyoung talent?

I am aware of that. Given his current situation, however, for the media to now start nitpicking on what he does in training comes off as superfluous.

The way they treat Dida is overreacted. But the fans are more less like that, it's normal. The coach and management know more. If Dida didnt deserve to be at Milan, then why did Ancelotti (and management) keep him and use him as 1st GK? There must be reason(s) for that.

Well, it took them long enough, but IFFHS finally gave out the 2007 world's best GK award today.

1. Gianluigi Buffon - Juventus - 209 punti
2. Petr Cech - Chelsea - 172
3. Iker Casillas - Real Madrid - 124
4. Edwin Van der Sar - Manchester United - 62
5. Rogerio Ceni - Sao Paulo - 37
6. José Manuel Reina - Liverpool - 36
6. Nelson Dida - Milan - 36
8. Andres Palop - Sevilla - 29
9. Julio Cesar - Inter - 24
10. Jens Lehmann - Arsenal - 20
11. Alexander Doni - Roma - 17
12. Roberto Carlos Abbondanzieri - Getafe - 14
12. Víctor Valdes - Barcellona - 14
14. Francisco Guillermo Ochoa - America - 9
15. Agustín Julio - Tolima - 8
16. Artur Boruc - Celtic Glasgow - 7
17. René Adler - Bayer Leverkusen - 5
17. Manuel Almunia - Arsenal - 5
17. Gregory Coupet - Lyon - 5
17. Francesco Toldo - Inter - 5

Never mind that Buffon spent last season in Serie B. And Frey didn't even make the top 20? Interesting.

We don't have an adequate replacement, yet.

Just like other first team players like Nesta, Pirlo, Kaka, etc. We don't have adequate replacements yet.

95% ACM fans hate d!da, & the only reason why ACM don't keep clean sheets is d!da + he HUMILIATED ACM through out the world. He deserves an Oscar for his classic performnce in Scottland
The formula is simple, if u want to lose, Pick d!da. He could have had a much better career (which actually he doesn't have at all) in NBA or Hollywood.
He is more suitable for the role of 'Jack the Ripper' in some serial killer movie than being the ACM gk.
The funny thing abt him is that he would end up with 2 (or 3) CL titles, which actually should be 0 titles for his poor performances. He kept Maldini & Nesta away from getting the world record of most number of clean sheets ever.
& ACM will continue to drop points if he stays & its as simple as that

Zeekay, I have two questions for you:
1. How did you come up with the number 95%?
2. Is Dida's wife a former much beloved girlfriend of yours?

The answers to your questions are all very easy and simple anyone with half a brain can figure it out

1) I do NOTHING all day but knock D!da....it's my job .And since most jobs run from 9-5 it's only logical that 95% of Milan fans hate d!da

2)I am incapable of interesting any girl beyond a cursory glance...so "no"
D!da never stole my g!rlfriend. However recently my bf and I were having some quiet time together and we decided to watch the news to...you know "get us in the mood" and the sports segment had a clip of d!da making saves in the CL finals. I was disgusted at the sight of it but he was captivated. Nothing happened that night Instead the next day I caught him downloading clips of D!da's wonder saves and watching some of his best matches on YouTube Things went downhill from there as he had less and less time for me and he started talking to g!rls The final straw was one day I came home, tired from work (knocking D!da is hard work you know) and I caught him kissing a g!rl The g!rl didn't even have a proper name...she was named after a car Ever since I have hated that useless cowardly giant for destroying my life

Oh man, these 2 are pure class

Dida's skills is world class, there is no question about it. However he does not have a cold head. When the team playing bad, he often play bad, too. He is not Oliver Kahn, who can bring up spirit or Buffon/Cech who always consistent.

If KaPaRo play like this. Gila's responsibility might be lift, the attacking force is all right. And when Dida has no burden on his shoulder, he can compete with Buffon/Cech for Number 1. Frey must wait.

I dont think any class GK will come this Winter, so besides beliving Dida, we have no other choice.

Kalac explains Dida demons
Thursday 24 January, 2008
Milan reserve goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac believes that first choice Nelson Dida is struggling due to psychological factors.

Kalac filled in for yesterday’s 2-1 defeat against Atalanta as Dida is still sidelined with injury.

After costly mistakes in several games this term, Dida’s claim to the No 1 shirt has been called into question and Kalac thinks he understands why the Brazilian shot-stopper is struggling.

“Perhaps Dida is mentally tired,” the Australian international suggested. “Concentration is the most important thing as you can’t have a good game without it.

“That’s the only reason I can come up with because we are working well physically in training.

“I believe that a goalkeeper needs to be relaxed and calm and it’s different at a big side like Milan to the smaller teams.

“The pressure is four times greater when you play for Milan because this is a club built to win and so any error represents points lost.

“You have to be a bit mad to be a goalkeeper because you get a lot of stick that other players avoid.”

While Carlo Ancelotti has reiterated emphatically that Dida remains top of the pecking order at San Siro, Kalac concluded by insisting that there was strong competition for the Rossoneri gloves.

“Physically, I’ve never been in better condition in my career and I am at my best right now,” he grinned.

“Here at Milan there are three good ‘keepers as there is also Valerio Fiori in addition to myself and Dida. In my opinion Fiori would be first choice at any other squad.”

Kalac is set to start between the posts as the world champions entertain Genoa this weekend. (Ch. 4)

Kalac had a pretty secure game yesterday. Hmmm, I'm starting to think, maybe we should just stick with Kalac for now and make Dida EARN his way back into the starting 11.

Since the Livorno match thread is closed, I'll ask this here: why the hell was Dida not even on the bench tonight with Fiori in his place?
