I think there is still chance, there is always a chance till the final whistle (who doesn’t believe should ask Treseguet…….. and Wiltord will confirm too).
Maybe Milan will make something only let it be some different from this “something” we saw recently in Brescia, then against Messiana and Roma, in Bolonga…… .
Perhaps Inter still have chance to revive and come to running. Let not forget that Mancini is a new coach and this year Inter is the team with absolute new faces. I think it is not correct to say Inter is a crap or played badly, Inter can play, can score; there is a great team play, only there is no balance in defense but I am sure Mancini can do it. Let not forget Kuper got also near 8 draws at the start of his first season as Inter’s coach but at the end of it Inter could win scudetto.
As for Milan hmmmm…. here I have much more doubts, after all that I already watched this season from Ancelotti and the team.
Again in my soul there is a struggle between my thoughts with brain and my heart with the love to black and red colors. I mean that I started again thinking that that CL cup win was some sort of piece of great good luck; then Scudetto winning was supposed by great in-form Sheva and new phenomenon for Italy in the face of Ricardo Isakson (Kaka’) and with even more important by Juve, Inter, Lazio and Roma crisis. Look, this season coaches of other clubs has understood how to play against young talent and what? where is this new Platini+Zidane in one bottle? Ye maybe against couple small teams he showed something but against Inter (only played with his one-player-on the pitch game), against Roma, Barselona, Shachtar, Celtic where does he was?
And again with respect to Ancelotti as a player and then as a great coach-strategic have I to conclude Ancelotti hasn’t any ability to motivate players, too chose right tactics on game (I think everybody understands the difference between tactics and strategy) and to create good attacking team. There is also the main reason of introducing Pirlo on the DM position – the lack in creation and inability to make an attacking team and it is in along with such skilful players as Rui Costa/Kaka, Seedorf, Cafu at the same time on the pitch.
Against Brescia there were altogether on the pitch: Rui Costa, Kaka, Seedorf, Pirlo – FOUR, FOUR playmakers to be exactly FOUR players who could play on this position and that’s without mentioning Crespo and Cafu both who posses great passing skills and teamwork ability!!!???? How oft during this game we could watched Seedorf, Pirlo and Rui staying (STAYING) on the same line and making short passes to each other without proceeding and sometimes even (I repeat Seedorf, Pirlo and Rui) passing back to the defense. What was that? Was it the clever tactics, knowing about bad condition of the pitch, and choosing only one forward who plays good in the air and knowing that on such pitch is very difficult to create and the best decision should be crosses and fast passes without dribbling with the ball. What has done Brocci in the centre of the field? Helped to create instead of playing on the right flank and making crosses in the box?
Hmmmm … all this game has made again a lot of doubts to Ancelotti as a good tactician and ability of the team to play, to play without any regards to the bad field, defensive opponents.
Could you imagine Real Madrid with Zidane, Figo, R.Carlose, Beckham, Raul, Gutti and without scoring chances – I can’t and I didn’t watch that. never. Real can waste all that chances but can’t – not to create it. But Milan can and showed shows and perhaps will show it.
As for Roma. I think it will depend all on Del Neri and Totti, if they both find common language than we will find new competitive Roma if not then we will find Rome at the 10th place or something and transfer Totti to Real.
