OK... I've seen the match on TV and I can say some things:
>Milan played pretty well, esp. in the second half, but the goals sucked big time. IMO the first one Contra and Domoraud had their faults, since CC didn't had the guts to attack Lovenkrands earlier and Domoraud lost his man way before Lovenkrands crossed, leaving Maldini alone with two Rangers strikers.
> Domoraud was not bad at all, but he definitely can't mark a player. He sucks at that
> Kaladze was good... Contra was average. He made some nice interceptions and one forward run plus some mistakes
> Rino Gattuso - as always
> Pirlo - very good. Nice touches and a great assist at the first goal
> Serginho - good
> Seedorf - average. Ba played in his position in the second half and he had actually done a lot better than Seedorf. It also seems that Ba had lost part of his fat as and had some nice runs on the right wing, including the assist for the second goal, where he nicely got past a Rangers player and crossed
> Rui Costa - nice touches...
> Kutuzov - had a chance to score and blew it big time
> Shevchenko - good but not great
> Tomasson - done very well... could have scored a lot more but Klos had an exceptional save once, then Sheva was to selfish to pass to him, and in min. 85 or something he and Boriello were miles away
onside but the ref was too blind. He also got past the goalie after that and had the empty net in front, but as I said, the ref already blew the whistle
> Brocchi - surprisingly good. Had a very good shot but Klos made a great save. And also moved very well overall
> Boriello - this kid is for real, I'm telling you. He's only 20, he scored so far in all our freindlies, moves very well on the pitch, and although the goal he scored was only an easy push, he had done some very good things in the 25 minutes he played. After nicely getting past an opponent, he shot a rocket from 25 minutes, and Klos again, with a great save, manage to deflect that. He also had a nice header from a difficult position. A great prospect for the future.
That's about what I had to say. I'm waiting for scharatz to post.
CB, did you meet scharatz?
