Chivu deserves his 4 matches ban, but Inter will play a better LB, Nagamoto, so it could be a good news for them.
Let's kill this match. |

i'd play Merkel when we missing Boateng in midfield, just because he could be the link our midfield-attack lacked since Boateng injured...
This is why i'd bench both Cassano and Pato if possible... ibra- behind him with more freedom Robinho behind them Merkel with strong midfield. Antonini did well in the last game, there is no need to seek an adventure with Vila... Abate still injured... i read on GDS today that Merkel starts in first Xl. |

Vila might be talented, but the fact he's excluded from CL list, knowing most of our new aquisitions disqualify and Janku made it, says he's not ready to play with this team. Pato and Thiago trained half seasons turned out great. Even a good player, esp. young, will take some time to play in a tactic, some takes a minute, some takes long.

Antonini's struggled a lot this year, but he's improved a lot in the last few games (barring Cesena I think). For now, unless Vila's ready to enter the team and be better, Antonini should start imo.

Allegri said that it was either Vila or Zambrotta and Inzaghi in the CL list ... And like he played only 12 games with Espanyol, it was better to choose the other ones.
There the press conference: About the teams who played Wednesday: "The championship is still long and we still need a lot of wins, and so we need to keep the balance we have found until now. Inter, Roma and Napoli are in the race. We musn't think about the others, only about us because our points are not enough to win the Scudetto. About Pato: He lives well this moment, we have the CL and Cassano can't play in this competition. Substitutions are chosen more or less because of injuries (for example against Lazio). There is no Pato case, he's a young player, he has to be serene. He didn't play that much and however, he scored so much, he must focus again on the game, something you lose a little when you're out for a long time. About Kaladze: Kalaze needed to play, and my choice for our two starters was Nesta and Thiago. With him, I was honnest and now, he does well. I'ù happy that he does well and I need to recall he was in Milan for 11 years. I always made my choices for the good of Milan, I'm very serene with what I did, what I do and what I will do. About Pato as a first striker: With time, he will integrate (speaking about the association with Ibra). Everyone must improve, it's the same for a 21 yo player. His main quality is to score goals and so he'll always have to improve. About Merkel: He hasn't played a lot, but I'm satisfied, especially for the game in Catania. He has qualities and he's smart, it's why I made him play. About Pirlo: Pirlo has been in the group for 2 days and against Parma, he will be available and will even be able to play. About Van Bommel: I talked to him, I told him that in Italy, it's different comparent to where he played before, even if this season, the referees whistle less compared to the years before. I made him understand that however, here in Italy, it's different. And about Flamini, he improved a lot, he does less fouls, he understood he had to improve some things and he did it. About the come back of Inter: The problem isn't Inter because they come back, as all teams do. We must think about ourselves and like we have our destiny in our hands/feet , if we manage to have a good run, like I'm sure we will, Inter will have to do stratospherical things. Anyway, nobody thought Inter wouldn't compete for the Scudetto. About the referees: When a referee whistles, he thinks he's right. At the end of the championship, the decisions against or pro will be balanced. They are human beings, it's not easy, they can also struggle given they only have one fraction of a second to decide. About Vila not inserted in the list: Didac played only 12 games with Espanyol and putting him in the list wasn't something I considered, because I had to put Zambrotta and Inzaghi off. About the good and bad things of this Milan: I was pleased with the way the team understood the game against Catania, and more especially the team manages to understand what is asked to them, given in the last month, we don't have play wit hthe same midfield twice in a row. Nevertheless, we must improve on other situations and having another behaviour sometimes. Sorry for the potential mistakes in the translation, I translated from Italian to English, not always easy as they are both foreign languages for me !!

It seems Pato receives some support from Milan nowadays: Allegri stated Pato will be like a new player in the team (because he was out for a long time), and Cassano stated that he is a future champion.
Also, it seems there are doubts about Merkel or Flamini starting tomorrow (Allegri would like to rest Flamini as he played 90 minutes directly for his come back against Lazio) ... It also seems Allegri will choose Ibra-Cassano, supported by Binho, and that Pato will come in during the game, and maybe Seedorf too.

I like Allegri's interviews a lot. It's important to speak the truth, but also not to give away too much. Always protect your players and build them up. I like how he speaks of Serenity and calmness. Very important over the long haul. L
I like how he said there's no issues with Pato. Reminds me of Galliani and how he and Berlusca said Ronaldinho was a champion right up until the day we sold him Then we said we were so sad at his leaving we had to buy Cassano very funny! |

Nice job, GeoTav. Thanks for the effort. How many languages do you speak?

I understand the written Italian and may understand the spoken Italian (it depends) but I'm not able to speak it, I never learned. I learned German during my scolarship but except "Hallo", I don't remember anything !! When I'll have time, I'll try to learn Italian for real (to be able to speak it), and why not Spanish too ... So nothing exceptionnal, more especially compared to the people from Belgium (20 minutes away from my home) who can speak the language from Netherlands, English, French and German. It's actually just some luck: Milan is an Italian club, so you need to read the Italian websites to follow the club more easily, which I can understand, and we're on an international forum using English as main language, which I can write !!

I remember trying to learn some Italian about ten years ago, and gave up after maybe 30 minutes.

To avoid being off topic, the coach of Genoa said they won't defend as Lazio did, they will try to play as they know and attack by being aggressive ... That's one more thing leading me to this conclusion: we're going to win.
