well here i'm again i watched all the 90min's on Eurosport. I'm sure that they are gonna play it again, don't know the time but you can check it out on teletex or eu's official website (this was for all those who can watch eurosport). As far for the match, Milan played poorly and seemed very tired. Also the many Milan player's that were missing, made the job harder. Especially it felt a lot Maldini's absence, Kaka's, Sheva's etc.. and why not the new arrival's Gila and Jankulovski. Milan started the match with the christmas tree Carlo's favourite one 4-3-2-1 lineup including Cafu, Nesta, Stam and Kaladze at the back, Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso(C), in central miedfield while Rui and Sergio were playing as advanced miedfilder's behind Vieri. As far for the firs't half Milan were concetrated on defence more, trying to create something from counter attack's. The miedfield was terrible. Pirlo lost many ball's, exept for some accurates long passes to Sergio and Cafu. Gattuso also put a horrible display, winning just one or two decisive tackles and loosing all the other's, plus took care to send Joe Cole flying by taking both of his leg's out of the ground and making him fly, recieving the red card for that one at 89min. Cafu was one of the best from the "poor's" as he ran a lot and catched many of Rui's ball's but didn't managed to send not a single cross to the lonely Vieri from the right flank. Rui was also one of the best from this terrible display opening Cafu with great through passes, one of them nearly finished on Chelsea's goal if it wasn't for Geremi's clearing. Probably the best chance of the game for Milan. As far for Seedorf man this guy has to do something, to prove something of his shot's, technique, passing, back heel's attractive play... whatever, he was mabe the wors't on the pitch. Didn't do apsolutely nothing, didn't cover Robben together with Pirlo i think, they let him shoot from 18met's if i'm right and score past the Greek keeper, who wasn't such bad as i read on some member's post. The defence was not so bad but not good either. Nesta was as usual one of the best, while Kaladze was so slow he was surpassed many times from Robben on the first half and SWP(shaun right philip's) on the second one. Stam was also not so good. Serginho on the left side gave two very accurate crosses for Bobo, but that was all for him. He got angry with the ref on plenty of occasion's and received a yellow card for a foul on SWP. As far for Vieri he was one of the flop's. It's not such a good idea to let BoBo play as a lone striker as he seemed, very slow and tired. Also he can probably take chances only with his left foot and with his head. The firs't cross from Serginho came out for his right leg and he missed it trying to land the ball with his left one. While for the second one it came perfectly for his left one but missed it completely. Vogel was introduced on the second half but he either didn't show nothing. Milan definetely need a second right back cause if their gonna play this style of game then Cafu is the only option. Carlo didn't have another player to sub and rest him, he played most of the game's at Tim Trophy also. When injuries and tiredness set through the long season not having a second right back is really terrible. As far for Chelsea's display they were awesome. The score could have been 6-0 on their favour if it wasn't for their bad finishing of Crespo, Drogba, Lampard, SWP and other's. They probably deserved to win. SWP seemed like a great signing, he was very fast with great pace, technique and many many more. Not to mention Robben who was awesome. Anyway they've started the training earlier knowing that the premiership start's one or two week's earlier than serie a, and didn't play any pre-season tournament. Plus their team was completed with all of their player's, wich cannot be said about Milan. Believe that there's nothing to worry about since it's a friendly and were gonna play them again on 31.
, Vogel won balls in the midfield , Gattuso`s red card was undeserved .. it was not a foul for a red .. anyway refere was man of the match I think.. very amateur.. Rui Costa and Sergino were pissed off from him all the game heheh
please supply me with highlights! at least
