Filippo Inzaghi Thread

[Az.]

So fun thing, when Allegri lost with this team (more or less), it was Allegri's fault. Now, it is shitty team that even great coaches wouldn't be able to save. Hmm.

Fun fact: Seedorf a more inexperienced coach then Pippo won more games with this team than Allegri did in his half of the season.

And people blame Allegri mainly for loosing that title in the second season and almost relegating Milan in the third. Even with a considerable less good team in the third, there was no excuse for almost relegating us.

So take ur revisionist history bull shit somewhere else.

 

[Ronin]

So what's our Plan B?

Fire Inzaghi and bring back another legend just to fire him as well after 6 months.

 

[unda]

Defense is not dependent on defenders at all, it's a team effort. How did Juve get their defense right with Defenders like Chiellini and Bonucci? By having mids who would press the fuck out of the other team.

Rami-Alex-ZAPATA is a good decent CB trio. DeS is a good Side back, the rest is pretty meh.

Constant put on a really good performance two year ago against Barca. Reason? He was covered by mids, so he had to deal with one player at the time, which he was able to handle. If you have 6 guys running at you full speed and you're all alone then definitely you gonna slip. It's not a mistake, it's team playing bad defense.

Our midfield and wingers need to put pressure on as soon as they lose the ball. That's one of the reasons why SES is so important. It's not a coincidence that when he played Constant did a better job. He tracks back and he defends.

We need to defend as a unit, like teams like Roma or Atletico. Defenders are merely specialists protecting the box, just like Strikers. We have a really good CF in Mario but that doesn't mean our Attack is good, because it's a team effort. Every guy must play their role in both defense and attack otherwise it's gonna fail.

Rami, Alex and Zapata are no Nesta, but if we fail to defend decently it's not gonna be because of these guys.

Pressing has become a rarerity for years now in Milan. Since Allegri took over we never pressed opposition teams not even the shittiest bottom table ones and conceded cheap goals all day.
Seedorf came and tried to do the opposite and press early after a lost ball but he had difficulties because the players were not fit enough (wich is a joke comparing Serie A to other leagues) and not used to it.
Im courius wich way Pippo will take but he must improve our defensiv play as a whole.

The biggest issue I see is that our whole play is far to static for some time now its really depressing.
For the most of the time there is no off the ball movement for example our Cb has the ball but no midfielder drops deep to link up play but instead all they do is stand and wait and the defender has no choice but to play long ball after long ball.
We will never win anything if this doesnt improve drastically it doenst matter wich players we field we need to play as a team, help each other out on the pitch.
I dont see bashing the players when we cant even play as a proper team how should Balo and Ses shine when they have to play on their own?

Haha, you forgot that Seedorf had a by far better team than Allegri with extra players brought in as reinforcements and that Taarabt + Rami were arguably the best players of the second part of the season.

People blaming Allegri for losing a title against a team that had no CL games and went the entire season undefeated need to learn more humility and stop with the Ibrahimovic bullcrap when that striker has gotten us more than once in a tough spot with his red cards. He wins because he also goes where there is a great team around him and he left because he accepted to be sold because he knew we were going to sell Thiago Silva anyways.

The third year we went to 3rd place so I'm not sure what you're talking about... if that's about the 4th year well you need to thank for changing system to 4-3-1-2 and undermining the coach all year and for buying a striker (Matri) 2 days before the season started and letting go two midfielders (Boateng and Flamini) with no replacements.

Why go around the words, most people blame him for letting Pirlo go. I don't know if it was him that let Pirlo go, but if it was I'm glad cause Pirlo was playing like shit.

Either way, I shouldn't have said anything ... most of you Seedorf fanboys are hard to argue with, it's like Juventus fans blaming Ancelotti for letting Henry go and losing to Perugia ... time will tell what happens, in the meantime Allegri is the coach of Juventus and Seedorf has no job.

Every football fan disagreeing with the mumbo jumbo you just posted is delighted for Max to be taking over Juve and soon fucking it over too. They will not recover that fast after he is fired.

 

[Dzidzius]

Clarence was more prepared than pippo imo.

I am worried about him...didnt convince me so far.

How so? That is what the friendlies are for. I would be more worried if he was parking the bus against teams like Liverpool just to have a good score and then no tactics tried for the season. You gotta remember that in current Serie A even Juve means almost nothing in Europe, so expect loses in all international friendlies for now till Pippo is a bit more settled.

 

[dcfcfan1]

we do need to play a bit more defensive to get results IMO, because our midfield are useless attackive anyway.

The best chance of CL/3rd place is to rely on SES/BALO majic/set peices and nick 1/2-0 wins. Because with our current midfield without monto, we will get outplayed away from home

 

[Rojonegro]

In my opinion it was a good game, still some thing that need to be worked out, but improvement from the other two games, first half we got some pretty good plays on the sides with niang and Elsha. I really enjoyed the game even when I was surrounded by Liverpool fans ... And I got Pippos and ZapaTas autograph.

 

[VultureSheva]

Rodgers: Pressing Milan was a key for us. You can't do it for the whole 90 minutes but we try to put pressure on our opponent and when teams play the ball out of their defence you get a chance to do that.

Thats what we were talking about, teams like Atletico, Liverpool and Barcelona had success with pressing game, and Milan should do the same.

I think the only thing that caught my attention is us not pressing high...all the games we played till Liverpool game, we tried not to give the opponents the chance to pass the ball in his their halfs..Liverpool game was different...we kept regrouping and putting more numbers in the middle, but it kinda didn't work..

well this way, we might not use all of our energy, but it will give the opponent the chance to do whatever with the ball....

would like to know why

Niang was pressing, but not Balotelli and other players, we have to do pressing with more players.

 

[VultureSheva]

Inzaghi: I’m sorry about the undeserved 2-0, but it was the response that I was expecting. There was a great reaction today, I’m happy with my players, I can’t remember a save made by our goalkeeper whereas we worked their goalkeeper. We had a quality half an hour in the second-half and the second goal is harsh on us. We must continue with this spirit and this desire. I can only ask my players to continue like this and then our values will come to the surface when we face sides in Italy. Perhaps we’re still a bit naïve. We conceded two goals while in possession, but I’m the one to ask the side to play from the back, we’re Milan and we can’t throw the ball away. We’ll move forwards for now but the reaction from everybody in the defensive phase pleases me. If it had ended 1-0 or 1-1 there would be no complaints. We were up to the standard and this has to be a starting point for the next matches.
Balotelli can also play as a supporting striker. Niang is doing well, he has a good attitude. In Italy he will give us a big hand and I don’t think there are many players born in December 1994 as strong as him. Let’s give him time and confidence. The wide forwards gave us a great hand today. While we struggled in the previous matches, we competed today against one of the strongest sides in Europe. We’re on the up and starting to see traces of the Milan side that I would like above all in terms of determination. There’s a brilliant spirit, we must start from that. In the Italian league with that desire and determination we can do well. When the squad is complete we can go really far. This side has to shake off the fears of last year and I believe that tonight’s match has to give us lots of confidence."

 

[vB9]

Same broken record... its a fucking trend, apologies, apologies and more apologies... if you mean it, fucking change!

(Not having a go at Pippo)

 

[Dias]

Lets say we can string a couple of wins on the trot.. this will do this team a great deal of confidence and excitement..

That's all we need..

 

[Ender]

Following up Conte would be a tough call for any coach especially if they also lose Vidal to M.U. I wouldn't call Allegri dead just yet though ... as I said time will tell between Allegri and Seedorf regarding who's got the skill. So far, Seedorf is unoccupied.

[necromancer]

Pippo looked at you!

 

[Rojonegro]

Yes he did! My wife said that he stoped because we were the only milan fans around there and I had his shirt. It was fucking amazing to be honest , pure luck to be right by the field exit.

INZAGHI WANTS FULL SAN SIRO


MILAN - MILAN – Milan arrived at Malpensa airport on Friday and coach Filippo Inzaghi gave a press conference where he started by discussing the fitness of his players on their return from the USA.

He said: “We have no injuries at all and these things can happen when you train little and play more and we have Menez back fit again. De Sciglio picked up a knock but myself and my staff are confident that the players are on the right track. We have to be ready for the season kick-off and of course we cannot get too carried away with our 3-0 win or get too down after our earlier defeats. We just have to think about improving. We have two difficult events coming up: the match at Valencia and then the TIM Trophy. Our objective is to be ready for the match against Lazio. As for the transfer market, everyone knows very well which players I want and the club agrees with me so it is only right that Doctor Galliani talks about the transfer market. This is a competitive squad and if someone else arrives so much the better otherwise we have this squad. De Jong will be back next week and then we will have Montolivo fit down the line. We have taken a lot of positives from this tournament and we found out that that likes of Niang, Cristiante and Saponara can play their part for the team.”

Moving on, Inzaghi looked at the current squad and their approach compared to last season, saying: “Fortunately, my lads don’t read that much and last season we finished eighth and there was a new coach so we need to have some patience. We will give everything in the league to reach a position where we deserve to be and the fans should know this. There are teams ahead of us but we have kept players who seemed to be leaving and we will give any team a hard time. These players will work hard and make sure the fans are behind us. Milan have given me so much and I am proud to be coaching them. I hope this is a positive year for Milan and for the fans as well as President Berlusconi, Adriano Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi.The best gift would be filling the San Siro again and we must do this on 31 August. I know how the Milan fans think and they will be back. Balotelli is doing well and his team-mates really love him. I have not found anything that has been said about him and he is very relaxed.”

Looking ahead to the new season, the coach had one clear aim: “The team comes first and the team that concedes the least goals will win the title. I would start from the compactness of the team which I saw the other night. We were a bit unlucky but I saw something positive even in the defeats. We will now get back to training at Milanello and the club are well aware who I would like to bring in. However, it would be unfair to name names. I am pleased with what we have anyway and three young players in Niang, Cristante and Saponara came through on the tour. We want young players but we must let them come through in a relaxed manner. My aim is make each player one hundred per cent secure in his role depending on the characteristics he can bring to the team.”

This 100%. I never understand the anti Allegri arguments. There are other places to critique him at, but the results he got were good results. Lets not even begin to talk about Seedorfs goal that was ruled offside against Fiorentina and Muntari's goal which were two direct refereing errors that would have resulted in us winning the scudetto.

 

[Zeusftw]

In regards to the Milan market, I do not want to see us sign Cerci. Bring in Taarabt on the cheap and that gives u 2 quality players for every attacking role. Than we need to look at the midfield because its by far our weakest asset. We have no box to box player ala Pogba/Song who can cover Montolivo/De Jong. Poli tries to do this but he runs out of breath in the 30th minute. Our first priority needs to be a box to box player. Our second priority needs to be a vice Montolivo. Then I'd say we can comfortably get 3rd place.


The only other department we lack in would be the Inzaghi factor. Is he the right man to take a pile of shit and turn it into gold? Allegri came through in 2012/13, Simeone came through for Atletico, and I hope Super Pippo does. All this "enthusiasm" bs people in Milan say I think is stupid. Who cares how excited he is, I want to see results and so far nothing about this Milan is convincing. Van Gaal went to United and they immediately look like a better team plus minus one Herrera.

 

[Jasper]

Happy birthday!

 

[necromancer]

Happy 41, Pippo. An appropriate age to win a first Scudetto.

Allegri won the Scudetto, next year he lost because of Ladri, and in the next year he ended in 3rd place because changed 50% of the team, but he also had 19 games with only 1 loss in second half of the season and this was great. And then told him to change the formation, they bought some new players and he had to change the attack from SES-Balo-Boateng/Niang to the slow and old attack without wingers Kaka-Matri-Balo, also half of the team was injured so he had to play with Birsa, Zaccardo, Silvestre, Poli etc. Seedorf had no injured players, and he had Taarabt, Rami and Honda.

When he won the Scudetto some people said that we had a good team, but this is not the reality, we were playing with Antonini, Abate, Slowdorf (old), Gattuso (out of form), Robinho (who was shit) etc and we lost from Tottenham. If we would have the same team like we had with Ibra we would end in 3rd place now. We won the Scudetto in the worst season of Serie A, all teams were shit, next season Juve won Scudetto without Pogba, Tevez, Asamoah etc.. Roma and Napoli were shit.

 

[justhope]

people still blaming berlusconi and galliani for the matri& 4-3-1-2 fiasco yet allegri is trying the same formula at juventus.

I wonder who is forcing him this time..

Happy Birthday Pippo!
