Well guys I watched the match yesterday and I'm sorry for those who couldn't
I hope everyone gets to see the coming matches En Sha Allah!!
Anyway, here's a full report about what happened:
In the first half, etraight at the begining Milan had a corner which was crossed to a wonderful header by Max Ambrosini but unfortunatly it was lost
To tell you the truth Milan played a bad first half!! Slovan had much more chances than we did .. One of them was really dangerous!! Kaladze lost the ball in the middle of the pitch, then they passed it until one of the passed Roque and shot the ball, but thank God it hit the bar!!
Not to mention three or four more chances Abbiati saved ... Milan's defense was a bit shaken in the first half, then Roque was injured in his arm I think and was replaced by Laursen ... Best players in the first half were Gattuso and Max!! They are real fighters and must play every match
In the first half Rui Costa was completely very bad and didn't assist one correct ball honestly!!
Which didn't give Sheva nor Pippo a real chance!! Sheva, however, was moving to the back trying to get balls for himself but it wasn't useful 'cause one hand does not clap as I always say!! I was very angry and wanted Rui to be replaced by Pirlo ... So the first half ended with a bad impression by Milan!!
The first half was much more different though ... And I'm not gonna praise them just 'cause they scored, but because some players really woke up from their nap and made the team look more powerful!! Especially Rui Costa who performance was excellent in the second half!! This guy has the techniques and has the touch, but he needs is some more movement and a lot more speed to get us back the old Rui!! You know Rui owes Carletto a lot for the trust he has given him!! Really, if it was me I won't let Rui on the pitch for a minute after his first half performance!! However, Rui really surprised us in the second half and gave great assists to the strikers!! The big difference happened when Seedorf came instead of Srgio!! I don't know why does Carletto play Serginho, his performance is really poor as he did nothing yesterday .. He had a chance in the second half and instead of passing it he shot the ball over the bars
Anyway, when Seedorf came in he was every where trying to get the ball!! He, Rui and Sheva were doing a nice job and I'm telling you that these three fit together very well
Seedorf must stsrt every match!!! Anyway, in the middle of the second half Rui did a wonderful, excellent move that I was like
But unfortunatly the chance was wasted
Anyway, then Seedorf got the ball again of the left side and crossed it, Slovan's keeper slipped the ball out of his hands and Pippo placed it in the net!!! GOAL FOR MILAN!!
You know, it was good for Pippo that he scored 'cause right before that he had the ball and Sheva was ready and waiting upfront but he was too selfish to pass it as susal
After some minutes Sheva had the ball and dribbled one defeder, gave a powerful shot but very very unfortunatly it hit the post
And I was about to kill myself after this chance 'cause I really wanted him to score .. He deserved a goal after his nice performance!! One of you was asking how he played, well I think he played better than he was last year, like the old days with Zac when he came back to take the ball and help himslef making some chances while Pippo didn't show much yesterday except for his goal ... You know even though Pippo scored and Sheva didn't, I think Sheva was much better than Pippo yesterday
At the end of the match Slovan had a chance but thank God Dida ran and saved it ... Ad it was over ---> Milan 1 - Slovan 0!!!
Not a very impressive result on our pitch, however, it would've been better if Carletto didn't have to change Roque and Abbiati for injuries
Ahh, injuries for Milan as usual
What to do
The defense certainly still needs a CB for sure!! Yesterday wasn't convencing for me at all
Sorry again for the long post
FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!
FORZA SHEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I was telling my brother some days ago why don't we get Alpay .. I like Turkish players a lot and Alpay was one of the greatest defenders in the WC!!
