CL: AC Milan (2) vs Barcelona (3) - 23/11/11

[squaresolid]

Another true story (one day):


Messi, Ronaldo and Zlatan are on a car trip together.
They crash the car and all die.

The gates of Heaven open and they go through it.

They walk up to God who's sitting on his throne.
God says "Ronaldo, what's the best thing about football?"
Ronaldo bows for God and says:
"The best thing about football is that I have been able to
give joy to the people, made some money and been able
to travel and see the world."
God thinks that's a good answer and says
"Good, Ronaldo. Come over here and sit on my left side."

God then looks at Messi and says:
"And you, Messi, what do you think is so great with football?"
Messi bows and kisses God's feet. He answers:
"Oh dear Lord, I come from a poor country and had a tough
childhood. I have been able to show the people that there is a
way out of poverty and misery. And I have been able to give
joy and hapiness to people all over the world."
God says: "Good answer, Messi. Come sit on my right side."

God then turns to Zlatan. "And what do you think, Zlatan?"

Zlatan looks at God and says "Dude, you're sitting in my chair".

[Goodfella]

Without his papa Iniesta, Messi is just another midget.

Yeah, he couldn't do shit in the 1st leg against RM in the CL semis. Also the 09/10 season.

Robinho and Taiwo...

milan my family

 

[patomania]

Fantastic

 

[Hitman]

Even though Seedorf can keep the ball and can help us with his experience, I think he is very slow and he cannot release the ball fast enough - like Aquilani for example. I think Nocerino must start this game as he has been our most consistent midfielder this season, and he never stops running.

Aquilani - MvB - Nocerino is a must for me. Seedorf can come on around the 70' mark for Aquaman and use his experience then. I read reports that Seedorf will start for sure, and it is between Aquilani and Nocerino for the third spot, I really hope this is not the case.

Prince is a must for me as well, despite his inconsistency and lack of technical play. Height, Speed + Strength is the way forward against these midgets.

As Pato can't play a full game, I would rather start Robinho on the left (to face Puyol who is very overrated) and have him build up play like how Pato couldn't do. With Robinho we will have more pressure on their midfielders, and we will have more possession. Pato coming on in the 55-60' mark and using his full speed against the tired Barca midfielders/defenders will be better than him facing them at the start of the game where they are full of energy. As Barca like to play a very high line of defence, Pato's speed will be very important to penetrate it, I just hope he manages to hold up the ball well and not lose it carelessly on 1on1's like he usually does.

I'm not sure on LB - it seems Zambro will play according to reports. I was hoping for Taiwo since there was no Alves.

 

[Dias]

Pique, Abidal, Puyol, Mascherano..

Pato will smoke them for pace all day any day. Balls into space please..

 

[MonsterKane]

Balls into space please..

This begs for Rui Costa...

 

[zizousama]

why not use left and right midfielders to exploit Barca's left and right backs?


Abate ----- Nesta ---- TS ---- Zam/Anto/TT

Robinho ---- Aquilani ---- MVB/Noce ---- Boateng/Urby

------- Ibra ----- Pato ------

 

[Patistico]

So, according to this, Barca will be without Alves and Adriano at the back and Iniesta in midfield.

They will likely play Abidal Pique Mascherano Puyol. That's very good news for us.
- They won't have Alves/Adriano bombing down the flanks to provide more width (something we struggle against).
- They are older and slower, and more vulnerable to runs from Pato/KPB/Binho.

Iniesta is a huge loss, but Fabregas is almost as good... so they won't miss much there.

---

I like our chances. Allegri will just have to be really smart tactically (he was last game). KPB will need to help defensively, and Zlatan will need to help maintain possession.

 

[Dias]

This begs for Rui Costa...

If we had Kaka.. or something similar. This game would be more interesting.

Pato's time to shine tomorrow PATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[benjamin]

Abidal is still good as fuck. Better than Adraino

 

[Danilo JBG]

I can't wait for this game.

[andresmilanista]

Last few days I've been dreaming about this game every night. Too much hype!

I alredy want to download the game in HD, because I feel we got this...

 

[AC Kid]

I just hope small stupid things don't decide the game against us, but if Barca get a DESERVED win i could live with that because they're the best team in Europe!

Please Milan play a great game, make me proud as you always do <3

Ill have it recorded in HD, if we win ill watch it at least 20 times just like that semi-final vs United in 07 <3 ;p
I'm not very optimistic about this one tho, even a draw would be a pity so we must win! Forza Milaaaaan <3

 

[Danilo JBG]

Don't know why, but somehow I feel we're going to draw a very strong team in the first knockout round even if we manage to qualify ahead of Barça.

 

[sushanmilano]

Fuck fuck fuck! We're gonna win this shit people! Without his papa Iniesta, Messi is just another midget. Without Alves, their defense...well, still sucks sweaty balls.

The referee is the big shit spot on the field...we'll have to score 10 goals so that the final score is 2-0. But I know the guys can pull that off...

WE'LL END UP AS THE FIRST PLACE IN THE GROUP, I KNOW!

Forza Milaaaan!

Thank you Don Andres for sitting this one out

 

[ManU sux]

Alex Delarge would be proud.

And a few of his droogs, my little brothers.

 

[Dominate]

I think Seedorf will play

CL matches are the only type of game in which I believe in playing Seedorf

For ex



We NEEDED a big game from him, and he gave it, dependable player, BGP

 

[necromancer]

Is Boateng fit? He's kind of a must start for this game - can completely spoil Barca's high line with his positioning..

Zlatan and Pato ahead of Boateng; Aquilani-MvB-Nocerino behind them.

Boateng was always fit i guess. He was just suspended for the last two games. He has been in the training vids i think..

[nuttela]

no one can fuck with Captain Clarence Clyde


if he has his on days... the entire barca midfield are gonna study his game


seedorf on his day is amazing. when he is on, everyone ticks (well they should). his influence is huge

[Ultra Swan]

Cowards!..

I for one am dissapointed that Barcelona won't be at full strength... Even if we win, it'll be rather hollow.
