Milan - Cagliari April 5th, 2008

It was really necessary to beat Cagliari Calcio, to don't lose chances for fourth place. Milan doesn't play well at San Siro, but the last team in Serie A table wasn't hard opponent. Ricardo Kaka played superb match. Massimo Ambrosini also didn't let me down. He's "Rossoneri"'s heart. Finally Seedorf played good. Although it, in my opinion we need a player who can relieve Clarence. Dutch can't play as often as he plays in this season. It's necessary to receive minimum draw in Turin.

Btw, there is my first post in this forum, so I want to welcome all of U.

Welcome to MM MasloK!

well thats not good, i expect Milan to get a roasting if thats all we have. 2 players who are going to retire at the end of the season. 1 semi ok center back, and a person whos only in the team for kaka. I dont know why we keep cafu, serginho, Favalli. Any kid can player better than them..

Probably the most important thing against Cagliari was that we played. If Milan's midfield is on (at least one between Kaka-Seedorf-Pirlo is playing great while the other 2 are doing well), then we look good, that's the key of our game, and we have no other, if it looks good then we even get a chance to watch Brocchi making a beauty pass for Pippo to score a goal (not just looking well position like he normally does, but looking skillful, which we rarely get to witness), in other words if our midfield looks good, the rest get confidence, and we play good and we win (except for our 4 outside San Siro losses).

However, it was Cagliari, so let's not get too carried away (it's not like we haven't been in this type of situation before in this season).

this game is amazing. since the 1st minute we played beautiful football. damn.. i want to see this Milan in every games. can i? and what a spirit by Pippo. he is the one who will always gives 100% for the team. not like others don't but Pippo always has extra spirit (together with Paolo ). the 2nd goal by Pippo is amazing. Inzaghi beat the offside trap and rounded Storari who got a piece of the ball and stopped his progress but he composed himself and slipped the ball past two defenders and scored and the 1st goal by him was a cross by Pirlo's corner and he headed the ball from 6 yards past Storari and became a goal. and our 1st goal by Kaka was a run at the Cagliari defence and unleashed a low drive that found the bottom corner. and in that game i saw the old Kaka who took us to the glory of CL last season. he passed the ball brilliantly he crossed the ball also and he created chances to forward. hope this kind of performance always besides him. Kalac made a fatal mistake and let Cagliari had the only goal for them by Conti whose free kick inexplicably slipped under Kalac's body and into the back of the net. he looked also hard to believe that he did such an amateur mistake like that. but i think that's quite normal after his many brilliant games. well.. people sometimes do mistakes right? Bonera, Kala, Maldini, Favalli were doing a good job too. but i will give the special credit to Bonera. he won all the battles with Agostini. Pirlo was displaying a good game after his poor performances since Arsenal games i think. now we back having the "old" Pirlo that he used to be ^^ and for the result he created the chance who cost us the 1st goal by Super Pippo ^^ Max also played very good. even he much did with defensive role at that game but helped us to made Foggia had his nightmare. good job there Max !! and Seedorf...?? he set the tempo high. and created many passes and crosses. one of the best too. well.. hey.. in this game all players did a very good job ( except Kalac but he was also not so bad). i think Seedorf always stunning when he must playing his trequarista role. his fave i guess. but my MOM (even is very hard to pick between Kaka and Pippo) i choose Super Pippo Kaka was the soul for that game but Pippo was decisive

and guys.. now eyes on Turin !!! hope we can win this one. actually i am afraid to this game because we will lost many players in that game. but if Palermo could beat Juve then why won't we ?

We can discuss about their respective playing mins, goals, or assists. They might not tell you the complete picture of their importance to the team, but those figures speak very plainly.

But put them aside, I also put a smily. So don't take it too hard

Kaladze and Nesta suspended, Oddo, Janku, Favalli and Segio injured!

we'll have Bonera, Maldini, Digao, Cafu, Darmian (?)

Milan is a total mess atm.

Is Simic unavailable? I can't remember hearing about him being out injured.

If available, the defence will most probably be Cafu, Simic, Maldini and Bonera (LB) against Juve.

Can't say I'm too comfortable with that, but we must win at all cost.

oh yeah and Simic

It's been a long time not to see him play.
