Uefa Cup: Zurich - A.C. Milan: 02/10/08

Abiatti
Zambro Bonera Favalli Antonini
Ambro/Rino Seedorf Flamini
Kaka Ronnie
Sheva

Zambro is a beast, he can play all the matches

Bonera favalli were great in CB in pre-season

Midfield can be changed to rest Seedorf and Ambro for Sunday..

we need some of the Starting XI to win, remember its away and they have a 1 away goal advantage, i dont want a Bayern like last season

no,no,no favalli on the center this is just not going to work.I just hope we can keep the result 3-1.

kaka should be rested....start sheva and pato with ronnie behind them and flamini ambro and seedorf in the MF

I know Kaka won't wanna take the bench for this one as much as we want him to. Therefore I think this match would be a good time to try out the 4-2-2-2 formation with both Kaka and Ronaldinho as AM's.

My formation: Dida; Zambrotta, Bonera, Kaladze, Antonini; Flamini, Ambro; Ronaldinho, Kaka; Pato, Shevchenko

If we're winning, Kaka should be replaced by Seedorf so he doesn't ge rusty. Maybe also give Darmian a runout if possible?

Mystik - looks like a good formation for the attack. Ancellotti seems to prefer attacking triangles so I doubt we'll see it, but you never know...

Kaka may need to start to ensure victory. Ronnie has to start to allow him to continue his 'Recovery' without interuption.

I think Emo will play, but not Cardaccio. There's no chance for a young kid like him to play his debut in an European game even if Carletto think of UEFA as a second class target. Perhaps he can play in Coppa matches.

As for Kaka, we're having a fairly good goal advantage. So perhaps it'll be better if he's being rested

I would let Viudez and Darmian play. Cardaccio too, why not.

Cardaccio is not in the UEFA list, neither is Nesta
here is the Squad for Zurich :

Milan squad: Abbiati, Dida, Kalac; Antonini, Bonera, Darmian, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Maldini, Ruggeri, Zambrotta; Ambrosini, Emerson, Flamini, Gattuso, Seedorf; Kaka, Pato, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho.

Does anyone know Ruggeri?

^^ Played LB for the Primavera in the Viareggio tournament I think last February. Never seen him play...probably just called to fill Favalli's place. Doubt he'll play...we might see him in the Coppa tho.

Thanks
I dont think he will play either, and maybe he's with the squad for the new regulation that each team must register a minimum number of their own primavera players !

Seedorf ran all over the place last game vs Inter, IMO, he needs to rest. He'll only walk if he plays vs Zurich.

probable line up:
..............Abiatti
Zambro Bonera Kaladze Antonini
.......Rino..Flamini..Ambro
..............Ronnie
..........Sheva.....Pato

3DM.... yep I want Seedorf n Kaka rest...

UEFA Cup is a good chance to play Kaka & Ronaldinho, both need to regain fitness fast and build up the cooperation.

Zam is somehow not familiar with our system, let him play.

------------------Abiatti----------------------
Zam------Bonera---------Kaladze------Antonini
-------Flamini-----------------Rino/Max-------
----Kaka---------------------------R80-------
---------Sheva-----------Pato----------------

Its better for Dinho to play whole game now in Zurich and then we go back to Kaka-Pato-Boriello at Cagliari on sunday.

My team:
-----------dida-----------
-bonera-kaladze.darmiani-antonini-
---------emerson--------
----flamini----ambrosini-----
----------dinho-------
------pato---sheva------

I hate 3 DM's, but we need fresh Seedorf, Kaka', Zambro, Marek for Cagliari. They have 0 points and it will be an extremly tough match now in there.

And atfer Cagliari our players ( Rino, Zambrotta...) will go and paly 2 more games for Italy, so we need to look after them now.

In Milan there is a deal that Dida will be a GK for UEFA cup.

Pretty much agree with Mrki's team except I'd put in Janku for Darmian. I believe Janku had a game off lately so shouldn't be in particularly bad shape.

I'm still undecided on whether Pato or Kaka should start, it depends on whose in better shape.

We need a result that gets us through with minimal impact ahead of Cagliari, so I think our team should be:

-----------Dida-----------
-Antonini-Bonera-Kaladze-Janku-
---------Emerson--------
----Flamini----Ambrosini-----
----------Dinho-------
------Pato---Sheva------

This should be enough to see off Zurich with some key players resting ahead of the weekend.

I'm certain Carlo disagrees though, as he's said he doesn't intend to make many changes. He may have a point as if the team is in good shape it's worth looking to maintain consistency.

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

this is the best time to try out the 4231.
Dida, Antonini, bonera, kk, janku; flamini, rino; r80, pato, kaka; sheva

If we are to go with 4312 then carlo must play Cardacio, Flamini, r80, Sheva , pato
