Guess I will miss the game, but anyway, forza Milan. Let's win this one before the beginning of the season.

Jasper · Aug 17, 2009

Probably get munched like in Trofeo TIM. We were horrid there ...

Sage · Aug 17, 2009

Loss.

Sasha · Aug 17, 2009

Loss via PKs

Sidd · Aug 17, 2009

After our last performance I have no hope regarding this fixture.

greys · Aug 17, 2009

8 pre season match : 6 loss, 1 draw (LA Galaxy) and 1 win (Varese) :rolleyes:

loss again :mad:

No youngsters (bar Abate and Pato), so maybe Carletto wasn't alone in thinking our youth are simply mediocre.

Nothing else to choose I guess... Some will transform it into a 4-3-3 with Dinho on the left and Pato on the right, but it's the same selection.

Yeah ... not much else to chose from. At some point in the match, I'd also like to see Abate at RB ... coming in for either Janku or Zambro ...

PS. Watching the game tonight?

Depends if they call me at work or not! I'm on call till Thursday. Hopefully nothing bad will happen to the telephone network I work for (and I think you're a client of).

I hear in Cluj it sucks ass lately.

Kaka: 'Milan, let's win tonight!'
Monday 17 August, 2009
Kaka paid a surprise visit to his former Milan teammates and spoke to fans about “us” ahead of the Trofeo Berlusconi.

The Brazilian may have been sold to Real Madrid for £56m, but he evidently still considers himself part of the Rossoneri squad, or at the very least their fandom.

Given a two-day break by the Spanish side, he jetted straight to Milan to cheer on his old friends and spoke for a long time with Coach Leonardo.

It is not yet known if he will be in the stands for tonight’s Trofeo Berlusconi match with Juventus, but he did chat with supporters outside the Milanello training ground.

“We hope to beat Juventus,” he said to the fans. “We have to get the victory.”

When some fans asked him to pull on his boots and get out there to take part in the game, Kaka was diplomatic.

“Milan already have great players.”

We...? I wana see RealRetardista's faces upon reading that!

He's already done that. I'm convinced we'll get him back after 30 for alot cheaper and then he'll work at Milan.

i think so, cus r80 cant play on wing.

Godfather · Aug 17, 2009

i think we should still give the 4-3-3 another try.

--------Storari--------
Zambro-Nesta-TS-Janku
----Gattuso-Flamini----
--------Pirlo-----------
Pato----Hunt--Dinho---

I believe that too. Now, on the field it doesn't has to be exactly that 4-3-3, but still, Huntelaar obviously our main striker, and Pato our supporting striker who got his freedom at the right, and Ronaldinho is strong from the left, but may also feel free to leave that place every now and then.

Exacly. Dinho and Pato could swap places making intelligent off-the ball movements.

CHE CONFUSIONE
Che confusione
sara perche tifiamo
e un emozione
che sale piano piano

stringimi forte
e stammi piu vicino
e chi non salta
e un porco Juventino

FORZA MILAN !!!

IT'S TIME

Senatore_M84 · Aug 17, 2009

in many ways i think we r starting to resemble the brazilian box midfield (4-2-2-2) that tele santana used in 1982 that leo would like to emmulate... Abate is listed in a midfield 3, but he plays higher and he's no CM... he's a winger... so in a sense its like him and ronnie as LAM and RAM, only abate works harder so defensively he drops to a 4-3-1-2. Typically i hate this formation but since pato doesnt play that high up it sometimes even looks like a 4-2-3-1.

offensively its looking like this...

pato---hunt

Ronnie-----Abate

Pirlo--gattuso

janku--silva--nesta--zambro

and defensively its resembling this....

pato---hunt

Ronnie

Pirlo--gattuso--abate

janku--silva--nesta--zambro

he real problem of course becomes FBs. I mean we need ronnie to become ronnie again, and other players to come to form but fact of matter is, we lack fullbacks to run this narrow formation.
