[Ian]

Here is a link to the forum:

Keep persevering(sp?) as it's working fine, although it does fluctuate.

[Ian]

looks like Storari has given a penalty away!

[Ian]

1-0 Betis - Gonzales!!!!!!

Great start by Storari8-[

Edit: Now Storari looks like he's injured his thigh!

Oh, and Serghino is playing:)

[Seven]

Man am I bad luck or what :S
it worked for a second there AND baam goal ...
Guess I should just call it a day instead of spreading my poison:d and leave while we can still win this one

[Ian]

I'll keep you updated - Rino has been yellow carded and Ricky is running the show:)

[Seven]

are we really playing THAT bad ? or Betis are having a great day?
And what about Gila ? or still hitting the ground like if he was shot by a sniper in the stands

[Ian]

Looks like Brocchi and Yoann are about to come on.

Edit: Pirlo and Ambro off, Yoan and Brocchi on:)

[Ian]

Aubemayang(sp?) for Gila

[Seven]

Aubameyang :d
So overall how are we playing? and who is our best player(s)?

[Ian]

Spanish fans are dancing like they're winning the CL!:P

[castagnola21]

how did gila play? and how is Gourcuff doing?

[Ian]

Final score Milan 0-1 Betis.

A game we really should have won IMO, Gila had two clearcut chances one (which he scored) he was offside and really didn't need to be. The other was a free header that the keeper did well to save, but he really should have scored. IMO we need to start looking for another forward because it's just not working for Gila.

positives: Kaka and Nesta were outstanding, Betis coudn't handle Kaka running at them, perhaps if R99 was playing we could have won this.

[Ian]

how did gila play? and how is Gourcuff doing?

Yoann had about twenty minutes8-[ As for Gila, thats all he should have had:P

[Seven]

Thanks for the updates Ian and for the summary.

I really don't know what is Gilardino's problem, Is it the pressure of playing in a Big club and the expectations of the fans?
Or he just can't fit in our style and rhythm of play?

I really hope he can find "IT" again, But I don't see it happening not with us anyway ....

[Leffe]

Gila had 2 good chances in second half and they were saved by keeper, could have scored twice if not for Ricardo.

Kaladze, Nesta and Kaká were awsome (22 and 13 like always :p) Also I liked our midfield with Seedorf and Rino, nice combinations and passes :) Altough we lost the game I liked what I saw ;) We will be ready

[GattusoKing]

I really hope he can find "IT" again

It's a pity that none of the interested parties were dense enough to lodge an acceptable offer for him. I cringe at the thought of seeing his imitation striker cabaret act for yet another season.

Kudos to those who tuned in. Personally, I have little time for friendlies - they're like tedious foreplay, especially when the team's identical to that of last season.

Thing is Leffe IMO a decent forward should have scored at least one of those, after all chances at the highest level are usually at a premium. I bet R99 would have buried at least one chance last night.

[Leffe]

Correct R99 would have scored but he's R99 :D I'm not worried, I feel this season he will finally explode

[Gurre]

Kaladze, Nesta and Kaká were awsome (22 and 13 like always :p).

I must say I couldn't disagree more about Kala. Kaladze was completley out of shape, his physical condition was pretty low and there were a bunch of players that seem ahead of him in terms of condition and form. At least it is something that can be improved before the season, but Kaladze had a night off IMHO.

As for Kaká, well, he wasn't completley out of shape but IMO not even close to awsome. He wasn't better than the average of the team. He will get better though, as it is with Kaladze, you can clearly see he isn't 100% fit yet. Those stinging actions with blistering runs weren't there.

Best of the night for me: Pirlo, Nesta and Jankulovski. Gilardino was really bad and surely he isn't fit after his surgery. However, those missed chances can't be blamed on anything. I fear yet another bad season from his side. And this is his last chance.

[artan]

we need you badly R99. this Gila simply suckssss

[Leffe]

Patience with Gila, I also agree this year is his year or bye bye but believe in him, the man only needs to score 2 games in a row and he's lifted ;)

[fillipo]

something else, i don't know if you guys have seen any of the spectaculair inter game last saterday :D

men i enjoyed watching that :D AZ simply beat the **** out of them, i admitt the first half they simply underrastemated AZ but the second half they fought hard for the ball, but still AZ was superior by time to time to them.

winning 4-2 from inter was spectaculair but to be honest i think AZ could have won with even 10-2 if they weren't *** sloppy with their goal opportunities

[Rosso]

Milan won Juventus - 1:0 and lost to Inter - 0:1 at Trofeo TIM. I watched all 3 matches (correctly 3 half times) :d

Our goal scored - Gilardino.

IMO, Zeedorf and Gattuso were the best in rosso-neri shirts.

[fillipo]

isn't that last years campaign?

dunno but i thought the trofeo was this friday

[Filipez]

no, trofeo TIM was yesterday :)
somebody got some pictures?

[fillipo]

dammed! missed that one, always like that tournament.

forza clarentie

[Leffe]

I missed Gila's goal, was playing tennis tournemant, anyone has a video ?

I saw Milan vs merda, Clarence and Rino were great

Gila's Goal

Grazie Seven :thumb:

[castagnola21]

Sheva in a Milan shirt again!

Milan: Pato is here with Sheva, Ronaldo isn’t

04.09.2007, 09:00

Meanwhile Gilardino’s crisis continues, Pato has turned 18 and now can debut with Milan. The opportunity is on Thursday, when AC Milan will play a friendly match with Dynamo Kiev that, in order to celebrate its 100 years, will play with Shevchenko. However, the Brazilian cannot play in official competitions until January
Ronaldo won’t be joining the team in the Ukraine. Medical results showed problems that did not emerge in previous check-ups. The “Fenomeno” will remain at Milanello.
(Gazzetta dello Sport)

[jani]

what? Sheva will play for us tomorrow? what the hell?

[castagnola21]

9/5/2007
MILANELLO - Here is the list of 18 players Carlo Ancelotti has called up for tomorrow's friendly in Kiev.
GOALKEEPERS: Fiori, Kalac;
DEFENDERS: Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Nesta;
MIDFIELDERS: Brocchi, Emerson, Ancelotti (39), Aubameyang P. (53), Furlan (42), Rampinini (40);
STRIKERS: Aubameyang W., Gilardino, Pato (7), Caraglia (38), Cosner (41).

from channel4.com

"In a curious twist, new boy Pato will face off against Milan’s familiar old friend Shevchenko, who has been drafted in to Dynamo Kiev for this one-off testimonial."

[Santi]

So Pato took #7.

It will be intersting to see the new 7 vs the old one.

[castagnola21]

I'd like to see Pato play with Gila. I am a Gila basher but I'm trying to lay off of him and give him more time. But they could become a dangerous pairing.

Agreed:)

[curki]

Can I watch match on sat.? and on which channel

[fillipo]

can somebody taped it :D, i can't watch it but i'm very curious to see pato in action off course

[Leffe]

Can I watch match on sat.? and on which channel

Normal I'm your man to inform you but I can't find it anywhere ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(

[Caipirinha]

Leffe suxx :)

1-0 Dinamo

[jani]

2-0

[jani]

PATO!!!!!!!!!!! with a header

2-1

[Yasser]

PATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wohoooo

[curki]

bravo Pato!!! where are you watching game???

[jani]

not watching. I dont think anyone outside of Italy or Ukraine is :(

[jani]

try this sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/27867

[jani]

before kickoff Emerson had to explain everything to Pato again, all the HT instructions from Carlo haha

[curki]

thanks jani

[jani]

Gilardino Goal!!!!!!!!!!!

[jani]

Pato just dribbled past 3 players! haha that was cool.

Digao booked.

[jani]

great chance Kiev, saved by Fiori!!

[jani]

great chance, Pato controls the ball on the right wing, passes to Gilardino who holds up the ball and then releases Cafu who crosses to Pato who didnt stop his run but a great tackle by the Kiev defense ends the attack!

[Yasser]

Gila can do well - when there's someone next to him.. :)

[Gurre]

I agree Yasser, Gilardino could do well if the game suits him more. However, there has been huge flaws of his performances that can only be blamed on him. The bad finishing, the bad running, the bad targeting, the habit of always diving instead of doing a better option etc.

By the by, I would be very happy if someone could upload the highlights of this game. If it can be found.

[Yasser]

Gila is lacking confidence, I'm not his biggest fan but the way I see it:

1st year he scored around 20 goals in all competitions which is good but was blamed for never scoring in big games.

2nd year he scored arounf 15 goals and that included goals in big games like ManUtd, Inter, Roma, Fiorentina, a disallowed goal Vs Bayern..

He'll improve.. But he needs more support from the midfield Imo.. Which will come, surely he does some bad runs, passes and finishes.. But who doesn't?

In the meantime - PATO RULES :D

[jani]

Pato-Gilardino looks very good I must say.

A fast guy - big guy combo always works.

[jani]

FT 2-2. Nice second half.

[curki]

does anyone have the link of the goals

[fillipo]

yassi will post them, otherwise i'll let him suffer and disconnect all libanese contact from him

[fillipo]

http://www.fcfootballblog.com/dynamo-kiev-2-2-ac-milan-friendly-game-highlights/

see a little tread and he will release his link :D

[claud3]

gila's goal reminds me of the younger him. thats a hungry players goal

[castagnola21]

http://www.fcfootballblog.com/dynamo-kiev-2-2-ac-milan-friendly-game-highlights/

see a little tread and he will release his link :D

Great link thanks!

What I liked about Gila's goal is that he didn't go down after the first contact with the defender. He showed calmness under pressure and finished with a defender on his back. Way to go GILA!

Bonera's cross to Pato was excellent. Bravo Pato!! I can't wait until January for this kid to play.

[jani]

I liked the way Gilardino celebrated as well. Clearly the goal meant something to him.

And yea, the goal reminded me very much of his Parma days. Thats the Gilardino Milan badly need right now. Pouncing on half-chances to score.

[Rosso]

I watched only beginning and ending of the match.

I liked Digao's performance. Pato also played well. He moved well and took an initiative upon himself.

And Forza Ancelotti (father and son)! :)

[Gurre]

In the meantime - PATO RULES :D

You are completley right Yasser, except the last part. I don't buy <i>surely he does some bad runs, passes and finishes.. But who doesn't?</i>. It's partly true, but Gilardino has done it to a greater extent than should be accepted IMO.

[fillipo]

how did davide play? it's very nice to see another ancelotti making his debut for milan

[Leffe]

Leffe suxx :)

1-0 Dinamo


nice :lol: tnx dude :p

[Leffe]

I saw match in replay on Milan channel, saw both goals of Pato and Gila, nice header and timing from Pato :clap: I believe in this kid, also made some nice combinations with Gila.

Sometimes I think Gila should play behind strikers, he gives good passes, why not try this for once

[jani]

haha what? Gilardino cannot run with the ball AT ALL. how is he supposed to play behind the strikers? :D

but last night he played a game he should be, playing as the target man so Pato can play off him.

thats why I said, his partnership with Pato looks really good.

[fillipo]

how did sheva play? he's not mentioned anywhere anytime....

[jani]

I dont think he played.

[SF_ESQ]

Great photos. I must admit that it's strange seeing another player wearing our shirt with the number 7. The irony is that if Sheva would have stayed, we probably wouldn't have bought Pato. I can just hear Galliani now saying some crap about not needing another striker with Ronaldo and Sheva etc. Good riddance to the traitor and welcome to Pato. He's going to be a very good pickup for us...

[fillipo]

I dont think he played.

just before the game, they still sayd hewould play for kiev

[artan]

Attenzione attenzione, Galliani e Ancelotti in disaccordo su Pato!

Il brasiliano visto da due... angolature diverse.



zoom - galleria La prima partita di Alexsandre Pato con la maglia rossonera ha dato il la a tantissime interpretazioni.

Leonardo, come abbiamo anche avuto modo di scrivere sulle pagine di questo sito, ha paragonato il brasiliano a Shevchenko (paragone subito respinto dal diretto interessato), ma la vera discussione sulle caratteristiche dell'ex San Paolo la regalano Adriano Galliani e Carlo Ancelotti, partendo da un termine di paragone molto importante, specie per quello che riguarda il calcio italiano.

"Pato - ha detto ai microfoni di Sky il vicepresidente vicario rossonero Galliani - mi ricorda Del Piero per come tocca la palla, ma forse e’ piu’ veloce dello juventino".

Versione, quella dell'Adriano tifoso, che non collima con quella del tecnico emiliano: "Pato e’ Pato - ha risposto Ancelotti - Del Piero e’ Del Piero. Ale ha avuto un grande passato e ha un grande presente, Pato e’ un giocatore ancora tutto da scoprire". Vuoi vedere che nelle prossime ore esce fuori un altro paragone?

translation plesae

[fillipo]

if i understand it correctly it's says something that ancelotti and galliani have different views on pato

galliani already compares him del piero and says he is the one to replace sheva's legacy. And ancelotti just wants to keep it realistic and says something that he will wait and see what he can do in the future for us.

But thats what i get out from it

[ac_champs]

can anyone get pato's goal from the kiev game?

[fillipo]

it's already posted in the media section, just try if it still works
