Before the match:

Mascherano's instructions - Man mark Kaka

After the match:

Mascherano was no where to be seen

have Milan started wearing yellow shirts.

he has been affectionately dubbed 'Monster' by some fans.....he likes to tackle hard and eradicate probelms at source.

I actually thought it was clever - esp the pun with 'Risse'

Change the colour all you want, the player is the same

that Brazil team has plenty of young players who can run all day, and create space for Kaka.

in that particular moment I didn't see many of those around kaka, right?
Actually, there were several Argentinian players near him and one of them was a 19 yo player known for his speed ... but he fell off the camera range pretty quickly

tis true

But we won't make the same mistakes we nade in that first half in Istanbul.

If Kaka produces a moment of magic, he will have had to do it in minimal space.

kaka is a dif player, more mature and more complete than he was 2 years ago.
back then he was still very mature for his age - 22/23 yo - but now he spends far less time on the ball and puts himself in much greater service to the team's cause. he no longer needs acres of space to change the game around.

marking such a player would be very dif, not to say impossible as it is much easier to isolate a player if he is too individualistic in his approach and spends too much time with the ball without acknowledging his teammates (Kaka several years ago or C. Ronaldo).

Also, kaka now plays drawn further up the field, more as a support striker than the pure midfielder he was in the 2005 when milan were playing mostly with 2 strikers up front. Back then it was easier to designate one ball-winning midfielder to mark him out of the game but now it would be a dif story as he is as much as a forward as he is an attacking mid.

I don't think hatred is something to boast about.

Only teenagers (who seek attention) boast about hating others.

It's a game of football, between two great clubs. The vast majority of fans are good and decent people. You need to show some maturity.

thanks, that is very interesting to learn how Kaka has developed since 2005.

He is an awesome player....possibly my favourite player in the world. He was absolutely stunning in that first half in Istanbul. I think he was unplayable for those 45 mins. We couldn't handle him at all.

Maybe our best hope is to push you back.

I take back the last two words in my post.

Vast majority of fans? Oh please!!
