Couldn’t give a bigger shit about Berlu in general, but what Leo did is from a very very very small man. And worse thing is, Berlu doesn’t give a shit, it’s Galliani and the fans (including lots of fans who loathe Berlu and were pro Leo). Actually sad thing is Leo acted just the same Narciso way Berlu does, his no different.
Ok this is very subjective and well I understand time of becoming fans and all (not debating it to you but putting a perspective of many of us who became fans in late 90's)…but Leo did stay at Milan for 13 years and made one of the biggest rapports Milan fans could have with a foreigner player (way much more than Kaka, this guy got a better good bye than a loyal through and through Milanista for 27 years by the fans just a year after that incident), mostly because of the person he was (and that’s what hurts).
Leo is one of my 98-99 heroes and to be honest I was crazy about how he seemed like such a sincere person, like wow that’s a really top guy…
Its disappointing.
True but won’t happen. Maldini does feel bad with the management for not sticking up to him after those idiots bashed him (specially with Galliani, not so much with Berlusconi), and then cause he hasn’t been offered anything at Milan. But if things were as bad, he wouldn’t have his kids playing in youth teams, and he wouldn’t attend to as many games as he has. And papa Cesare at his 80 years will probably kick his ass.
Yeah I understand fans are drama queens and many in here were crying that we were going to battle relegation with the team we had last year…in reality we had the 3rd best team in Serie A at disposal, and in case things suck the most we would’ve landed was 5th- 6TH place.
Leo didn’t had Brocchi or Emerson, surprisingly, and Prince isn’t exactly slasher box to box CM (having pace doesn’t make you a wonderful footballer), not like Leo didn’t had his possible box to box in Flamini (who seems much more calm and better suited with Allegri than with Leo), Allegri has same fullbacks as Leo (including Oddo and Janku), Kaladze didn’t see the field much with Leo did he? We make it up with Sokratis
.
Destroying Dinho…lets stop the myth. Dinho has been destroying himself for 4 years already. Read Carlo’s words, go ask any Barca fan, Allegri just did what was left to do (eitherway if we must insist, he did start him for lots of games early on, he didn’t use him in the Leo formation cause this Milan can work in a different way and its MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND BENEFITIAL TO OUR RESULTS than Leo tactic to make the ball reach to Dinho in the left so he can cross it to the Borriello that we no longer have, if Dinho can’t or doesn’t want to work as an AM and doesn’t put much effort when play in the left side like others have-Boateng, its NOT Allegri’s fault, he wasn’t hired to make Dinho better, which btw cost us a lot in several games like the 2-0 vs 10 men Inter).
Eitherway yes we do have a better attacking line and another box to box midfielder. What’s interesting though is that for example, we have Zlatan working hard and going back to defend more than he has ever done in his whole career, Allegri didn’t just told him to go out there, expect the ball to arrive to his feet and use his magic (unlike what was ask to Dinho last year), integrating Robinho to the team and understanding how to use him has been an amazing job. We’re playing more direct football, fast football, which is something most of our starters prefer over last year, which had a slower tempo and build up, we’re creating lots of chances, OUR DEFENSE IS ORGANIZED, our team is pressing much more than it has ever done (prime example is game vs Sampdoria). And this is without a non 34 year old AM, and the same LB issues that Leo had.
Yes it’s a bitch Leo did not have this forward line, but it wasn’t the forward line that made us lose 6-0 to Inter and 7-2 to Manchester cause we didn’t had Zlatan, Robinho and Boateng, it was the lack of tactical awareness on how to defend (same defensive players available overall), or coming up with a plan to use instead of pass it to Dinho so he can cross it to Borriello. So yes Allegri is a much better tactician and seems to be on par with man management (perhaps better).
What Leo is better than Allegri is what he wanted to continue doing in England just a few months ago instead of ever going to Inter: manager.
Hands down best squad in Italy is still our biggest rivals, who have the team that just few months ago won the treble. If they’re sucking we’re taking the opportunity.
First few bad results of the season? Normal, we had just added 2 new players to the squad and got rid of 1 other in last week of August…2 players that were vastly different and who we needed to see how to integrate in a new tactical plan…when we did we started getting results.
Yeah we lost 2-1 to Juve and 1-0 to Roma (both games we had crucial misses in the first 20 mins or so, and after that it was a close game, lets put perspective on things first, we’re playing a serious league, not one where we can disappear our shitty rivals week in week out by 5-0, both Roma and Juve made really smart games tactically speaking, yes they owned us, but shit like that is bound to happen, just cause we have a better team doesn’t mean we won’t have shitty games) and a 1-1 draw vs Samp in perhaps one of the best games we have had in the season, creating chances over and over, dominating possession, having clear goal opportunities over and over Samp basically created just 2 chances, one was goal.
Eitherway we aren’t just beating our rivals 1-0, we have second best goals scored record in Serie A (and that’s with half our forwards missing for the last 2 months).
I don’t like calling people dumb, but ahm, this isn’t what we’re playing at all. We do have an organized defense (specially compared to last year…thank you tactician, better defense doesn’t mean defensive, it means there’s been work done on it).
We do sometimes use Pirlo’s long balls to Ibra (it’s very insulting the way you call him, and we’ve asked you several times to stop it), but it’s hardly a trait of our attack. Actually we’re playing best football Milan has been playing in long time, much much better than “joga bonito” Milan from last year.
