Milan receive Inzaghi boost :D
Thursday 29 January, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some wide smiles at new Serie A leaders Milan after Pippo Inzaghi returned from injury.

The Italian international has been sidelined with fitness problems for the past month but he’s been given the green light to resume full training.

That will be a massive boost to boss Carlo Ancelotti even if Milan have coped admirably without him.

Reserve goalkeeper Christian Abbiati also trained with the squad today after his brief spell on the treatment table.

Meanwhile, Milan have officially dismissed speculation that Kakha Kaladze is coming to the end of his Rossoneri stint.

"Kaladze is without doubt a key element for Milan," read a club statement. "That will also be the case next season too."

The Georgian has missed large parts of this campaign with physical problems but Milan are not about to show him the door.

"Kaladze has always demonstrated a consistent level of form and fitness in previous years," continued the note.

"He is a man and an athlete that is well thought of by the club and by his own teammates."

Check this: No team has managed to get 45 points in 18 games in the first half of the season in Serie A. Ever!!!

What makes this Milan so special, so strong is:

- a terrifying continuity, which was what we lacked last season to capture lo Scudetto. This season, we do have this continuity.

- the team is more confident, more aware of their mind-buggling, monumental, out of this world, potential.

- the fact of having won a major title (actually the biggest there is.. ) gave the team this vital belief in themselves that they can not only compete with the very best, but be the very best!

- Ancelotti is more willing to experiment more and be more flexible and not as taciturn and as predictable and as stuckup as last year. Bravo Carletto!:thumbsup:

- we were all at the beginning of the season, or even before, during the summer calciomercato frenzy, drooling for a big name and Totti was on everyone's lips and wish list. However, the management went counter-current by not making any follies and went for the smart moves, which may not have been seen very glamourous, specially after our new status of European Champions, but which nonetheless, proved to be spot on and extremely astute decisions.

The players signed were Pancaro, Kaka and Cafu. All of 3 which have been very reliable and did what they've been expected to. Specially Kaka. We all knew or at least had heard him to be something, but quite frankly, no one was expecting him to have this kind of immediate impact that only a handful have ever had in Serie A, at such a young age and this fast (among them, Sheva and Platini...).

- Dida is imposing himself more and more and confirming that he's truly matured into, one of the very best keepers in the world (IMO, the world's # 1 keeper! ).

- The solidity and impermeability at the back reminds of that of the Capello's Invincible Armada. Nesta-Maldini as close as it gets to Baresi-Costacurta in central midfield of that phenomenal team of Don Fabio.

- Sheva is healthy (knock on wood... ) and is back to his very best. That is the most deadliest, dangerous, unstoppable and complete striker/forward on the face of this beautiful planet that we're living in. A goal scoring machine. Scary!!!

- Tomasson is really turning into the kind of player that Bip Bip Massaro was for us in the time of Sacchi and Capello, that is a player whom, each time he would get into the game, each time he would score. A kind of magical joker if you will. FORZA JDT!!!

So all this, if you add them, you obtain one scary, compact, solid, strong, versatile, adaptable, redoubtable and feared well-oiled machine or rather, a freight train, going at full speed towards all 3 titles in sight. And it's not giving any signs of slowing down or focusing on one objective rather than another one. They want, and more importantly, they CAN win them all!!!

this is writen by a fan on milanmania. taken here to let others have a look.

another reason why milan perform so well is also due to the fact roma and juve are playing well so milan is kind of forced to perform even better and set a amazing record.

hmmmm. at the start of last season the fixtures was also 1 game every three days but we steamroll our way through all oponents including the likes of bayern and real madrid.

if u take away the unimportant coppa match which are mostly played by those squad players, the fixtures are still ok.

Serie A Week 19 - 1/2/04 (15.00)
Bologna vs Milan Preview
Live SCV Ch 21, 1 Feb Sun @ 09:55pm
Stadio Dall'Ara
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps the two most on-form sides in Serie A right now face off at the Stadio Dall’Ara and Milan have their sights set on the top spot.

Their 5-0 drubbing of Ancona placed the Rossoneri within a point of leaders Roma and the added luxury of a game in hand. That tie with Siena will be played on Wednesday evening, the start of a packed February schedule that includes Champions’ League and Coppa Italia commitments.

Alessandro Nesta is suspended for the Siena game, but returns to bolster the solid back line against Bologna. Manuel Rui Costa will be more confident after finally scoring a Serie A goal for the first time since March 2001 and once again lends support to versatile front two of Kaka’ and Andriy Shevchenko.

If Milan are on fine form then Bologna are not far behind. Unbeaten in five games – three of which were victories – Carlo Mazzone’s men have finally kicked into gear following an appalling start to the campaign. They now hold a comfortable mid-table slot even without the injured Beppe Signori, Claudio Bellucci and Sam Dalla Bona.

The midfield is further hit this week by a one-match ban to Leonardo Colucci, so Fabio Pecchia returns to support Igli Tare and Tomas Locatelli. Hidetoshi Nakata was long rumoured to be a Milan transfer target in the summer and will be eager to prove his worth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Bologna (probable): Pagliuca; Zaccardo, Zanchi, Gamberini, Moretti; Nervo, Nakata, Meghni, Pecchia; Locatelli; Tare

Milan (probable): Dida; Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Pancaro; Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa; Kaka, Shevchenko

01/31/2004. Background

AC Milan players have had a great start to the new year and their good times should continue when they visit the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium on Sunday afternoon to do battle with Bologna.

Each of coach Carlo Ancelotti's boys brims with pride and passion, his performances on the training ground and the match day pitch being statements of his commitment to his coach and his club.

Not only are these actions exciting to watch, they are also signs to footballers in other teams that there are greater goods in the game than fat salaries and generous perks.

Intelligence and purpose characterise the moves of Ancelotti's charges.

And they will be salivating at the thought of their hit-out against coach Carlo Mazzone's players.

Everything the injury and illness-depleted home side throw the visitors will be returned with ferocity.

And when Milan leave the ground at the end of the game, they will still have their two-point buffer over Roma intact, their position as new Serie A leaders safe for yet another week.


Latest News

Bologna

The rossoblu took advantage of the last few days of the transfer market this week.

They loaned Juarez out to Siena and sent Della Rocca to Atalanta.

And they signed Sussi from Ancona on a two-year deal.

The move reunites the veteran defender with coach Mazzone, who was his boss at Brescia and Perugia.

Sussi will play his first game for Bologna on Sunday.


Milan

Inzaghi returned to training this week.

And the star forward must have wondered when he would next get a guernsey in the starting eleven.

With his side having won seven games in a row without him – five of them in Serie A, two in the Coppa Italia – and Shevchenko, Kaka and Tomasson all scoring regularly, Inzaghi would have realised that the answer lay in him shining at training over the next week.

There is no doubt that he will – the player's hunger has to be seen to be believed.

And when he does return to the team, most likely against Udinese, he will be looking to boost his tally of two goals for the season.

Someone who will not be rejoining Inzaghi in the immediate future is Kaladze.

The Georgian defender has yet to fully recover from a knee injury he aggravated at training last month.


Probable Team Line-Ups

Bologna (3-4-2-1): Pagliuca, Natali, Zanchi, Moretti, Nervo, Nakata, Pecchia, Sussi, Locatelli, Bellucci, Tare.

Milan (4-4-2): Dida, Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Pancaro, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa, Kaka, Shevchenko


Players To Watch

Bologna
Old age?

He may be worried about losing his reflexes and finding himself less agile, but if last week's game against Parma is anything to go by, Pagliuca has some life left in him yet.

He will be in the thick of the action.

Milan
The rossoneri are so full of stars that it is difficult at times to single one out from the others.

An often under-appreciated player, if only because he is a hard-core warrior in a team of talented artists, is Gattuso.

i'm sooooooooo happy with the 3 points from a difficult away encounter

and 1 difference stands out between Milan and the rest... the strength in our reserves... Milan's 3 subs could walk into any team today and was instrumental in our final nail in Bologna's coffin ;)

Saw this phrase from "Champions" mag, really make me laugh :D


*******
Watch out for Andrea Pirlo, the "fantasista" of whom Gattuso says"When I see what he can do with a ball, I wonder if I'm a footballer". :D
