Champions League Preview: BATE Borisov v AC Milan
Saturday’s win over Roma on the weekend made it five wins from five in all competitions. On Tuesday night Milan travel to Minsk for the return tie with BATE Borisov and I fully expect the team to make it six from six. The Belarussian side may have just claimed another domestic title built on a [...]
Adriano Galliani: We always knew we would be back
Milan director Adriano Galliani claimed following the Roma win on Sunday night that he was never worried about the team’s poor early season form because he knew that once the numerous injured players were back, Milan would be back. Many of us were up in arms in the early throes of the campaign. Some pointed [...]
Praying for Antonio Cassano
There is some unfortunate news to report. Our enigmatic Italian striker Antonio Cassano has been hospitalised after falling ill upon the team’s return to Milan on the weekend. The player reportedly felt faint, dizzy and had trouble with his speech. These are symptoms that indicate a serious nature to his affliction and we can only [...]
Comment: Milan are back
I have been holding my breath before declaring this, but, I think it is safe to say now; Milan are back. In the fight again Last night’s win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico made it four wins from four for Allegri’s men. Few teams in Europe are in this kind of form, Real Madrid [...]
Serie A Preview: AS Roma v AC Milan
Max Allegri has said that this game is a title decider. While I do not subscribe to the belief that Roma are contenders for the Scudetto this is still, undoubtedly, an important match. This not to say Roma will not be difficult opposition because they always are especially at the Stadio Olimpico. This is highlighted [...]
Boateng and Nocerino showing Milan’s strikers how it is done
As we get excited about Milan’s face-off with Barcelona try-hards AS Roma – who will need to try much harder – it is interesting to note that after eight matches played we have two midfielders leading our team’s scoring charts; Antonio Nocerino and Kevin Prince Boateng. If anyone made a bet that this would be [...]
Galliani: We were lucky to sign Antonio Nocerino
There is no doubt who the man-of-the-match was against Parma. It was, of course, Antonio Nocerino. Not a player known for his scoring ability, his hat-trick is in many ways more remarkable than that of Kevin Prince’s on Sunday, circumstances aside. The former Juventus player was signed by the club at the eleventh hour of [...]
Allegri still not a happy chappy after win over Parma
Milan recorded their fourth win in a row in all competitions after demolishing Parma 4-1 at the San Siro overnight. In a convincing display, Zlatan Ibrahimovic got back to scoring ways but was overshadowed by Antonio Nocerino who claimed a hat-trick. It is interesting; for the second game running we have had a most unlikely [...]
