You don't understand vb9.
He has to have something to differentiate himself from the crowd. Something to make himself feel special.
That's why he writes in this stupid way and keeps making up nicknames and inside jokes that only he himself understands or even finds funny. Or when he posts some quote or article without any context and comments on it and absolutely no one knows what the fuck he's even trying to say.
He probably thinks others find him interesting for these things. While in reality most just think he's weird af.

Very accurate post, but I find many of his posts quite funny. I find vb to be a predominantly harmless character.

Can you clarify how the Rangnick affair went?

?For me the choice must be made for sporting merit. I?ve always told Stefano and he understood it. The thing that surprised me was Pioli?s attitude on the pitch. A modern approach, which embraces the young talents that we have brought to the squad.

?Stefano uses data, analysis, videos, and understands that the 5 seconds of transition are the most important moments in football. Exactly a year ago, we lost against Inter? But from there we understood that there was something. We saw a way of playing that gave us awareness in his work. From there we understood that Stefano was the right choice.?

On our day, we play some great tiki-taka like football. I think we'll only get better at it, since this squad barely has a year together (under Pioli) and some new players are not yet adapted.

[MN] Milan to sell virtual tickets for the derby against Inter Milan. The prices range be €10 for the 3rd tier, €15 for the second tier and €20 for the first tier.

Participants will receive a gift box with prizes based on the price range of the virtual ticket and after the derby there will be a lottery with different prizes based on the ticket bought.

The proceeds will go to charity, more specifically the Milan Foundation.

https://www.milannews.it/news/mn-ve...lietti-virtuali-ecco-di-cosa-si-tratta-400153

Great idea, for charity and also get extras along with the ticket. Will keep an eye on when sign-up is so anyone that wants to buy one can do so.

This is not tiki taka. This is direct, fast counter attacking, passing into space and sprinting forward in numbers.

Tiki taka is constant short passes to feet and possession for possession's sake to tire out the opposition.

Video is an amazing example of how ruthless we are on the break. Loved it.

#ACMilan are reportedly working to renew with captain Alessio Romagnoli, hoping to extend his deal beyond 2022 with the current terms.

Good, unless he becomes consistent, keep his current wage

Why on earth would Gazidis or Maldini agree to a 1 year extension of Donna? If they wanted to sell him they would've done it already

Agree. Didn't know how to call it, but it is a thing of beauty. Love this team so much

Can't wait to see them get tested in CL

Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer said Stefano Pioli has brought the required ?team spirit? and revealed why he is booked less this term.

The Algeria international said the 5-0 defeat to Atalanta in December 2019 was the turning point for the Rossoneri.

?After that defeat, there was a lot of soul searching within ourselves,? he told news agency AFP. ?And we came out of it.


?The coach knows how to manage the group, he is close to us, he always asks us if we are tired, if we are fine and so on.

?He brought that team spirit that we may not have had enough of before and taught us how to wear this jersey.?

Bennacer was out with a hamstring injury for a month and a half this term and the midfielder spoke about the experience.

?It?s the first injury that has kept me off the pitch for so long,? he revealed. ?But I do have a good feeling regarding the recovery.?

The 23-year-old was known for the many yellow cards he received in Serie A last term, as he was booked 14 times in 31 games.

This year, however, he has only received one yellow in 10 Serie A games and said Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped him improve.

?I work a lot on my defects,? he continued. ?I was a little too aggressive, I didn?t think. Under the guidance of Ibrahimovic, I learned quickly.?

I like him too.

He is his own dude, who is more than capable of using proper syntax, but he chooses not to, and that's fine. I don't think a lot of people dislike him or his posts. Just the usual couple of people.

Amazing clip.
But we play exactly the opposite of tiki take.
Dircet vertical fast counter attacking aka orgasmic football.

I always associate tiki-taka with the the finishing of the attack in the final 3rd; what Pep preaches making the extra pass so there really isnt a shot but practically a tap-in.

The total possession they used was more akin to Argentina when they were leading and killing games off. I do agree though our breaking style isnt tiki-taka and more similar to Fergie's final Utd and Brazil for that slight successful period where they had the 'magic 4' box but they ironically didnt play fantasy football but just broke quick on the counter and used superior technique and pace to beat teams and score. That team also had Dani Alves bombing from the right and we have Theo from the left.

We use even more press than those teams and yes I too cant wait to see it in CL. When we click its like a videogame; the stats even show that, less possession, not too many shots but great score line. Magic in spurts :proud:

Usually faints are like 50% of the move is the faint & the rest to recover & run the opposite intended direction.
This one was 90% faint 10% enough for Leao to do the rest

Meanwhile , Ronin , the following is for you : https://youtu.be/HR0K-E2qszY

Leao's feints are a thing of beauty.

Also, in that clip Ronin posted...I still get a kick out of how easy that second goal against Crotone was.
