[finnishhacker]

So we played the last 40 minutes yesterday without a captain. Nice

There will certainly be an investigation and we will be punished for it.

White power for the win.

Blacks DO CRACK
Although Leao already looks like he is on crack

 

[leaf]

Valverdes played at rb for majority of this season tbh

Fantastic output from deers tho.

Trivia Man will be happy to point this out but also wants to be first in line to shit on Carlo

But you were born a ****** though?

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Nobody worth mentioning tbh. Hence why he's out of the ucl while Kvaraggio is balling in the knockouts, scoring past World Cup Winners.

Exactly

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Bro got no chin

He has a double chin ahhahaah

Anyone that doesn't agree that Alexander the Great is the goat probably hates themselves.

Alex the goat. The animal goat. He ain’t no greatest of all time. I can think of of 7 or 8 kings that would crush the midget

 

[Soldier_of_god]

You will support the team and then you say this.

They are mutually exclusive so your post doesn't make any sense.

More poor performances would mean they should eventually eff off. So that’s what I am hoping for

Sorry I disagree.
3 at the back fits us like a glove.

- We have 4 CBs
- We have just 1 FB who is solid in defense (Walker)
- We have just 2 starting quality midfielders (Reijnders and Fofana)
- Leao / Pulisic work best on the wings in a 3-men attack

So to sum up, we should either play a 433 (don't have the players to do it).
Or a 343 (have players to do it).

I join you. We can question the 3-4-3 but in the meantime it makes us by 4 goals apart and less lost players.
I even wonder when when our victory dates back with at least 4 goals apart.

On the other hand the Coach Conceica I trust him less. He does everything with delay.
The non-turning of Félix and Musah took time to come in order to question it. Where does this coach think? If you have to wait a dozen losses in a row to see a less stupid coach each time ...

Priority Shmiority gimme that fuck you money. Off you go Theo

 

[Soldier_of_god]

There is a reason why psg bought Kvaratshkeila over lmeao
@Pigeon
@Curupira
@Massaro94

Why don’t they pay up for lmeao? Cause they know about his quality. Kvara is the better player by far

 

[Correctamundo]

Valverdes played at rb for majority of this season tbh

Fantastic output from deers tho.

Nope.


+ he has never scored over 12 goals a season.

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Reijnders vs Declan rice lel - reijnders easy
Flekken vs Di Gregorio? Di Gregorio easy
Rb Trent is good. That’s about it. But Dumfries is damn close to him
Lb Di Marco easily beats Robertson and crap
Defenders bastoni the beats destroys Virgil van ****
Midfield is easy serie a players win
Lw we got lmeao or Thuram. Thuram beats any epl fodder. Forgot Liverpool killer. Lookman

Salah vs Pulisic yes Salah wins

Isak vs lautaro is the only one that’s close. I will actually give the edge to isak here. He is a beast. Thanks dumb ibra for recommending roback instead of this guy. Thanks a lot dummy.

Serie a > epl

Carlo Ancelotti is the GOAT

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Carlo Ancelotti is the GOAT

Me too. I think he is the better ucl coach than pep

But pep is a far better league coach.

 

[Hitchens]

Ideal situation: Theo bossing it for the last six games and renewing his contract.

20 years ago today. The derby flare heard round the world.

This hurts my heart. We were so boss then

 

[Edu-bY-A]

Ideal situation: Theo bossing it for the last six games and renewing his contract.

... and we are ultimately getting more than €25 million.

There will certainly be an investigation and we will be punished for it.

We will pay for the work of the commission on the functioning of the bandages in calcio. You will also have to pay for the work of the auditor who oversees the work of this commission, and the check will go to the trade union of workers who manufacture these bandages. Separately, all this will have to be coordinated with the ethics commission, which ensures that the colors on the armband are politically correct. Well, environmentalists, where can we go without them-bandages cannot be made from fabric obtained as a result of processing animal and insect body parts

Imagine wanting more of this shit

 

[Massaro94]

Me too. I think he is the better ucl coach than pep

But pep is a far better league coach.

So Pepito is the better coach then

 

[Soldier_of_god]

So Pepito is the better coach then

It’s a tough one

But for me yes pep is better still

Carlo is also up there but he always needs a stacked tea
Need to see pep with a shit team too for a proper comparison however

Luca Diddi: Milan finally found something rare – and precious: Balance.

Let me start with the title, because it sets the tone for everything I saw in Udinese–Milan: Milan was difficult. And I mean that in the best possible way. Milan was tough to face, Milan was convincing, and above all – Milan was balanced. That’s been the missing piece all season long.

Those of you who’ve followed my content, my live streams, my tactical breakdowns – you know how often I’ve brought this up: This team lacked balance. Up front, we’ve got players built for transitions and counterattacks. And yet, for too long, we played a kind of football that never made full use of that DNA.

But last night? Milan played the match it had to play. We exploited a fragile Udinese – a team low on quality up front, especially since Thauvin's injury – but that doesn’t take away from what Milan built. This match wasn’t just three points. It was a blueprint. A starting point. And I sincerely hope that the entire Milan environment – the staff, the club, the fans – recognizes that.

Let’s break it down.

We were short on full-backs. Walker wasn’t fit, Emerson Royal is out. Sure, we could have lined up in a 4-2-3-1 with Jiménez and Theo as full-backs. But for once, we didn’t go the obvious route. For once, someone said: “Mister, we can’t play this game with Jiménez and Theo as full-backs. We need to adapt.” And they did.

Theo and Jiménez are not built for a back four. But in a three-man defense? They thrive. Theo especially – you give him cover, and he becomes a force of nature. Put him in a Gasperini setup and he’d be the best left wing-back in Europe. That’s not an exaggeration.

Tomori? A top-tier right center-back in a back three. Aggressive, fast, composed in buildup – the ideal profile. Pavlović? Finally used in his natural role – and yes, I’ll say it again: I discovered Pavlović back when I was at Hellas Verona. There’s even a video on my channel about it. We could’ve had him for €4M from Monaco. Now he’s at Milan for €25M. Tutto torna. Everything comes back around.

And speaking of returns: patience, people. You laughed at Pavlović. You doubted him. Just like you doubted Reijnders last season. But here we are. And Giménez? Trust me. He’ll come good too. You know I’m usually right on these things. Tutto torna.

Back to the game.

This 3-5-2, or call it a 3-4-3 – it suits everyone. Jiménez is in the right place. Theo is finally being used properly. Reijnders, with a three-man line behind him, has freedom to step up, create, and still be protected. Fofana fits. Leão has more liberty. Pulisic fits. Everyone knows what to do.

And crucially – we have balance.

That’s the word I’ve been dying to use for months. For the first time this season, Milan looked like a team with balance. We didn’t suffer. We were solid. We were lethal in transitions. It was all there.

Even Jović – yes, Jović! – looked like a player with purpose. Two goals in two games, and now another start. Why? Because he earned it. Confidence is everything. You let him feel involved, and he gives back. That’s meritocracy. That’s good management.

And let’s not forget Pulisic. Another excellent shift. I said this weeks ago: in this tactical setup, Leão will flourish – and so will Pulisic. We’re finally building a system that amplifies our players instead of shackling them.

Now, I know many fans saw the starting lineup and thought: “Oh, we’re in trouble – that’s why we’re switching to a back three.” No. That wasn’t fear. That was an intelligent, proactive choice. It was an idea – a good idea – from a coach who, until now, has been inconsistent at best. But this? This was a high point. This was a coach finally listening to the evidence. Maybe he watched my videos. Maybe he heard the criticism. Whatever it was – something clicked. And it worked.

Zero to four. Sure, it’s Udinese. But how many teams in crisis do we not beat convincingly? Confidence matters. And this system – this approach – gives us something to build on. Six games left. Play like this. Trust the system. Trust the balance. Let the players believe. And then let’s see where it takes us.

Because this Milan – the Milan we saw last night – that’s a Milan that makes sense. That’s a Milan that plays to its strengths. That’s a Milan that hurts teams with space in behind. That’s a Milan I’ve been talking about for months.

And I love that suddenly, everyone’s echoing the same words: Equilibrio. Balance. It’s not just a concept – it’s a necessity. Football is balance. You can’t play all-out attack all the time. There are games where you must close ranks, defend deep, deny space – and then strike. Milan did just that.

And maybe, just maybe, the coach finally understood that.

This game felt like a small victory – not just for Milan, but for all of us who’ve been saying this from the beginning. And yes – I’ll say it again: Tutto torna.

So I’ll leave you with this.

Watch the match again. Watch the positioning. The transitions. The spacing. And tell me if I’m wrong.

But I’ll say it loud, one more time:
This is the Milan I’ve been waiting for.
This is a starting point.
This is balance.

And Tutto Torna, my friends.

– Luca Diddi, Il Tattico

We win 1 random game and now everyone talking like we found a holy grail of balance and formations.
Lets wait for 20 more wins first
