Milan vs Empoli 9/3/08 stadium carlo castellani

well everyone we must look ahead now and like the players said play the next games like finals cant stay in the past forever we will be facing empoli who did beat us at home..but back than our home form wasnt too good..after a surge off victories we drew with teams that we really should have beaten and no more CL to look forward to i expect the players to channel their angry/sad emotions from the loss to surge us into 4th place

Empoli: (W W W L L)

Milan: (D D W D D)

i think gila should get the start because we are playing away and all of his goals this season have come away..gattuso..pirlo...seedorf...ambro ...nesta...should all be rested my line up:


------------kalac-------------


----oddo----bonera-----kahladze.....janku

----brocchi-------emerson----gorcuff

----------------kaka---------------

--------gila---------pato

Yes, lets forget CL and focus on Serie A.

I think we will field the strongest available players now. No need to rest the aces, we have only one match per week. Pirlo must play to regain his form, we need him for our last target.

Formation:

---------------------Kalac----------------------
--Oddo------Bonera--------Nesta--------Janku--
---------------------Pirlo-----------------------
-----Gattuso--------------------Ambrosini-------
---------------------Kaka-----------------------
--------------Gila-------------Pato--------------

Maldini need a rest, he is 40 already. Bonera should play, the same to Janku.

Emerson for Gattuso, Gourcurf for Gila could be the subtitutions.

Forza Milan!!! Tu sei tutta la mia vita.

@remote2book :

i think janku won't be ready for this match. put favalli instead of him.

ur starting line up so interesting. 2 striker and supported by kaka. gorky also takes part and brocchi who can afford threats from wing. only emerson plus maybe few help from broochi for defence.
really an offensive scheme with

do you feel optimictic we can live up with this scheme and ended with 3 pts considering our old and slow defender ?

yea i think you are right favalli will have to start but this way gorky can play where seedorf doesnt want to play and hopefully shows us that he is milan material and can put in good crosses from that side...on the right hand side brocchi can play a gattuso role and like you said help out with defence..in the middle emerson is pretty solid in defence and somertimes going forward and kaka in the middle will have more space espicaily if pato drops back a bit

Gattuso won't play as he's suspended.

Empoli are no mugs at home, but they are without a few defensive players and of course Pozzi who suffered that horrible injury.

However, in Giovinco & Saudati they have 2 players who can prove a major handful.

It'll be a tough match.

I've just found out that this match is on ch5, meaning i'll be able to watch it!

kalac-oddo-nesta-kaladze-jankulovski-pirlo-ambrosini-gourcuff-kaka'-pato-inzaghi

That is our strongest lineup now and we must attack and win it! no 2 DM'sa, no Gila, no Cafu or other bull....players this time.

I doubt Inzaghi will start...

i can't wait to see Dida in front of our goal, to be more calm when i watch my favorite team

As Galliani puts it, we have 12 Cup final matches from now. Will Seedorf be fit enough to play? We need 3 points so bad now, and I never like the idea of playing with 2 DMs, let alone 3...

kalac
Oddo-Bonera-Kala-Maldini
Ambro-Pirlo-Gourcuff
Pato-Gila-Kaka

The defeat from the CL was a major blow to us, to the Milan family. We must all be even more united and stand by the team and give them full support. CL spot through fourth place is the goal. I want us to win all our remaining matches, but since that may prove to hard I will settle for as many points as possible.

Either Viola or Juve need to drop points and we must win our own games. That's the only way we can play CL next season.

I don't know what lineup we should field. Luckily Carlo is there for that.

I believe it will be a hard fought match. My heart fears a draw, but if I set aside that fear I believe we will win by a narrow gap. Maybe 2 - 1. I think Pato will score.

Here is an Empoli gift from me to you.
