UCL Final - Milan vs. Liverpool... Athens, May 23rd

I was just about to poast this! Grazie Rui !! We cant loose this one now...

I think we're preparing for the match much more thoroughly this time rather than 2005.Thankfully most of the players don't have to worry about being kicked around in the weekend match ahead of the final this time.

Liverpool is a super strong team with brilliant coach and everything they did is a result of hard work and tactical brilliance of Benitez. Some people say Milan is the luckiest team in the worldbecouseof the late goals by Pippo and so on...but I always say that those things happen if you provoce them!

We will need to be on our full strenght to beat this Liverpool, and this filans has nothing to do with the last one. Midfield will be the key and I saw that Pirlo-Gattuso-Ambro are working on special program to prepare for the match! Same goas to Seedorf and Maldini I think. We can do it, but only if we play wisely and untill the last second...

good post, and thank you for the respect you have for Liverpool.

It will be a fascinating game between two very good teams.

Mrki and rome1977, thank you for staying cool.

As we draw nearer to Wednesday, I would like to take this time to share some special quotes made by my drunken friend Natalie (from Calgary) this long weekend:

"That whole Inter team is filled with women. Who tackles in a fight? You use your fists, like a man. If that was Milan vs Valencia, we would choke a b*tch and then crip walk to the halfway line to fix our hair."

"Massimo Oddo probably smells like...I don't know, POT."

"I have only two thoughts about the Big Cup....One, Milan should win it. And two, if they do....they should fill it with BEER!"

Good times.

Some of the banners the Liverpool supporters have created and are going to show during the match:

'do you want a 3 goal headstart this year too?'

'Do you want a 4-0 start this time??'

I just dont know what to say.

Doesn't that seem rather pointless, since most of the Milan players don't know English?

We're going to have our traditional big coreo.

Everything suggests that Pippo will be favoured over Gila. My guess is that Milan will try to really pressure Liverpool from minute 1.
We shall see.

Forza Milan

your friend Natalie has the right idea. She has said some funny things.

I am also drinking here (guinness and red wine).

The game is so close now.......3 days away. I must be honest and say that I am not as nervous/scared as I was in May 2005. Milan are a very good team, but I don't think we have anything to fear. It should be a game with very little space (unless one team scores early). The longer the game goes on, the better I feel for our (Liverpool) chances.

Good luck curry chicken. I hope we get a great game, my friend.

Best,

rome

Kaka does lol maybe he can translate it to the rest of the team.

Check this out guys. Seems a bit dodgy. I don't know. It's in Italian.

Don`t be so sure....I listened to an interview once..And he sounded awful,really bad,and the Ukrainian accent did not help at all.........

The most important game of the season is finally here.

Liverpool is my second favourite club in the world, all because of my uncle, he was the one that introduced me to football, and he's a huge Liverpool supporters. But Milan stole my heart right away, and did not let go. It will be a bittersweet game for me, Milan might want to do it for Il Capitano. Liverpool might want to do it for Robbie Fowler. And I like Robbie! My fav Liverpurdian, he scores like it's nobody's business, and he seems to be having a lot fun doing it!

Sport section in local newspapers had started to concentrate on the final, and they seemed to favour Liverpool a little bit, most agreed Gerard will be an influence. And unlike CRonaldo, this guy did prove his worth before the hype. Of course, they also concetranting on Milan's aging defence, and the so-called useless attacks. But you will put a minus points for Milan if you compare Gila to Peter Crouch. *sigh*

Trump card will be Max and to some extent, Pippo. Both are clutch players, both were missing two years ago, and they both seem to want to win this so much. And Rafa is also aware of this.

It is only true that football is not math.

Both finalists have even strength and weakness and at least proven that they are the last 2 best teams to face each other in the finals of CL.

The only thing that may differ one to the other would be the spirit, passion and obsession to win the final and lift the "Big Ears".
Which team have it more?

The answer could only be seen on the pitch during the game and after the ref blow his final whistle...am I wrong??
