Now that we're through to the quarter finals, it makes sense to rest the first team and let the scrubs play this game and the home game against Borussia...but I say lets play the first team and beat the merengue and eliminate them from the CL!!! :devil2:
Ads...your saying about the Merenques eliminate from the CL is also crossed my mind. Sorry, even people still wants to see Madrid go forward to next phase, well I don't. I prefer Dortmund alongside Milan together while the Merenques home side is risky in their defence line. The aging, Fernando Huuerroo is still injured, and the other central defender Ivan Helguera could be missing the match after spraining his ankle in the Primera Division. The home side will be playing midfielder Claude Makalele and Fransisco Pavon in the heart of defence. Aren't the situation will become big trouble for the home side??I hope it will be!!
In order to reduce the pressure for Fransisco Favon who could be replacing Helguera, the Merenques midfielders surely work hard to back-up the defence line and the risk become high when attrative attacking style of Milan footballing under Rui Costa, Rivaldo, Seedorf, Pippo, Redondo or Ambrosini succed to control and manage the match. Yeahh...Ronnie..it's time to shine again after scoring a hat-trick in the Primera Division last week against Alaves 5-1 victory. But when the kick off begin, during 90 minutes of the game...can you do it?!!
In away side..Milan would be missing midfielder Gennaro Gattuso who suspended the match, and defender Khaka Kaladze will miss also after picking up a tigh injury in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Chievo-Verona. Defensive midfielder Fernando Redondo could be playing alongside Seedorf, and Ambrosini. Central defender Paolo Maldini will be replacing Khaka's spot, and Costacurta is likely to playing partner in the heart of defence together with Sandro Nesta.
