AWAY FORM THE SAN SIRO AND OUT OF ITALY

There have been three Milan-Inter derbies abroad in the history between the clubs. Each one has been a friendly and the first was in 1908 in Chiasso.

Speaking on Friday, June 24 at the Rossoneri Workshop, Adriano Galliani said: "It will be a bizarre derby, away from the San Siro and on another continent." The Italian Super Cup will take place on Saturday, August 6th in Beijing and it will be the first time a competitive derby has been played outside Italy. The previous three derbies played abroad were all friendlies and they Chiasso, 1908, New York 1969 and Boston 2009.

The first game Sunday, October 18 in 1908 was in fact the first meeting between the sides as Inter had only been formed eight months previously. The match was the Chiasso Cup played in front of 4,000 spectators of two 25-minutes halves. Milan lined up: Root; Glaser, Hall, White, Steltzer, Meschia, Lana, Madler, Forlano, Laich, A. Colombo. Referee, the Swiss Bollinger.

Milan won 2-1, with Pietro Lana, who was born in Milan on October 10, 1888 and played for the Rossoneri between 1908 and 1914, scoring the opening goal. The Nerazzurri equalised and then midfielder Luigi Forlano who only played won season at the club, scored the winner.

SIXTIES NEW YORK DERBY

It was 61 years between Chiasso and New York before the Milan derby was played again on June 29th, 1969 in the City of New York tournament.

Continuing our vovage of Milan derbies that have been played outside Italy we land in New York where the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri met in a quadrangular tournament in 1969 along with Panathinaikos and Sparta Prague.

The Milanese clubs won their respective matches and met in the final on Sunday, June 29 at Yankee Stadium. Milan had lost 3-1 to Inter two weeks earlier in the second City of Milan tournament.

However, it was revenge in the Big Apple as the Rossoneri ran out 6-4 winners. Goals: Mazzola 12', Rognoni 13', Mazzola 26', Rivera 27', Combin 40' and 44', Jair 45', Anquilletti 46', Rognoni 51' and Bedin 84'.

Milan: Cudicini (Belli 65'); Anquilletti, Schnellinger; Rosato, Malatrasi, Trapattoni (Santini 46'); Rognoni, Lodetti (Fogli 46'), Combin, Rivera, Sormani (Golin 46').

THE LAST TIME

After Chiasso and New York, we arrive in Boston on July 26th, 2009 for the last time the Milanese clubs met in a derby outside Italy. The next time will be Beijing on August 6th.

Forty years after their derby in New York, the Milanese clubs were once again to cross paths in the USA and this time in Boston. The World Football Challenge 2009 was a series of games around the country between the world's top teams and Milan and Inter met on Sunday, July 26, 2009.

The Rossoneri came into the encounter just two days after playing Chelsea two days previously in Baltimore while their opponents had played five days before that in Pasadena against Cheslea.

In the end, Inter won 2-0 with Diego Milito scoring twice. MILAN (4-3-1-2): Kalac; Zambrotta, Onyewu, Thiago Silva, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Ronaldinho; Borriello, Pato. A disp. Storari, Kaladze, Flamini, Inzaghi, Nesta, Favalli, Abate, Oddo, Di Gennaro, Strasser, Zigoni, Ikande, Oduamadi, Antonini. Coach. Leonardo.

Huawei Bets on A.C. Milan Match to Kick-Start Consumer Push

Huawei Technologies, the enigmatic Chinese telecom-hardware maker that has grown into a top rival for the likes of Sweden’s Telefon AB L.M. Ericsson, also aims to expand the consumer side of its business by selling more mobile devices like phones and tablets.

To boost that effort, Huawei on Wednesday announced a new marketing move: The company will be the sole sponsor of a soccer match in Beijing between two top Italian teams next month, to be held in the iconic “Bird’s Nest” stadium that was built for the 2008 Olympics.

The 2011 Italian Supercoppa, which pits A.C. Milan against Inter Milan, will have “a potential viewership of hundreds of millions around the world,” Huawei gushed in a statement.

The move, Huawei’s first international sports sponsorship deal, reflects the company’s effort to build its brand recognition among consumers, instead of just among network operators.

While it remains to be seen whether Huawei can win over consumers with its sponsorship of the August 6 soccer match, it’s safe to say Inter Milan has its work cut out for it in winning over the Beijing crowd. A.C. Milan is widely regarded as the most popular soccer team in China.

Not related to the match but perhaps an opportunity for :g:

to enter a new market in terms of sponsorships in the future?

There's more in the link but its related to Huawei Technologies

SpartanMilan · Jul 8, 2011

My guess-
---------------Abbiati--------------
--Abate--Nesta--Bonera--Tawio--
----Gattuso---Bommel---Urby----
---------------Prince----------------
-------Ibra--------------Cassano----

granted a ton can chance until then

Dottore Joey · Jul 8, 2011

If not Bonera, then who? Ely? Ferreira :lol:

Dottore Joey · Jul 9, 2011

Yes, Ely or Ferreira... Everything is better then Bonera, I rather use talented player then none-go player.

Dominate · Jul 9, 2011

doubt he will b ready from his knee surgery

Sheva0172 · Jul 10, 2011

He won't. Already confirmed that he will resume full training at the start of the Serie A. So he won't be match fit in the first month i guess.

Sheva0172 · Jul 11, 2011

Are the Copa America players available for this one?

.A.K. · Jul 11, 2011

Yeah they should be

Rather they not play at all. Playing right after a long season without rest would make them more prone to injuries.

Sheva0172 · Jul 12, 2011

Well i'd rather risc that with Yepes then play Bonera in a derby

acm55 · Jul 12, 2011

Abate - Mexes - Silva - Taiwo/Zamb :cool:

Sheva0172 · Jul 12, 2011

Mexes is still injured at that moment.

Silva & Yepes might be on vacation.

Merda sure would have it better. They would only be missing Lucio and Julio Cesar who could be given a rest. Out of their remaining SA contingent; Samuel, Jonathan and Alvarez didnt travel, Maicon and Milito are basically benchwarmers so they will be fit for the game.

As for us, we are more than likely to be deprived of Yepes, Robinho, Pato, Silva and Ganso (if he comes) as they are starters for their respective teams...

But we may have Pastore fully fit if he doesnt play much :cool:

I believe ALL participating with their teams will naturally get the same rest - no matter how much they played. It's their right to have a "vacation" .

can Bommel play CB? maybe him there and Ambro in the mid?

RossoNero83 · Jul 13, 2011

According to reports all 4 south American players will be at allegris disposal for the super coppa show down

Susan · Jul 13, 2011

I'm glad our Copa America players will be available for this match, I was afraid they might be on vacation, but it's better they go on holiday after the Super Coppa. It's very important to have them in the squad because we'll have two CBs and two strikers more and that means we're more likely to beat merda.

Barometer · Jul 13, 2011

I feel like we'll win this one with 2-1

Same - because after Brasil were knocked outta the World Cup, they had 1 or 2 more training practices and then were sent on vacation. I'm glad that it's not the case here, and that they'll be able to play. Thank you Lord :jump:

T.Silva and Nesta will be solid :star:

RossoNero83 · Jul 13, 2011

i'm so excited for the new season to start, cant wait for the 6th of August! il Diavoli return to take inters soul

Curva Sud won’t travel for Super Cup final

THE FANS are protesting the decision of the FIGC to play the final outside of Italy.

The Supercoppa Italiana takes place in few weeks when Scudetto Champions AC Milan and Coppa Italia holders Inter Milan face each other. However, there ultra-fans of the teams won’t be present at the stadium.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Curva of Milan and Inter have agreed not to travel for the Super Cup game, which will be played in Beijing, China, as a protest against the FIGC Federcalcio.

Milan to be an independent company?
Pastore’s agent denies Milan meetings

The fans and even the players were hopeful that the game will take part at the San Siro, but following the high cost of the trip all the way to the Far East, the fans will not be going to see their heroes in action.

The game is on August 6, 2pm Italian time (8pm local time).
