Default Milan/Lyon : What's the difference ?

Well the answer was there for everyone to see. Milan was dominated like Lyon never was in both legs still they managed to win 2-0.

I should have said "what's the difference between French and Italian/spanish/english football", well they score when it matters.

Yesterday i really was kinda feeling down cause i realised that we'll never be big in Europe.
It's only football i know, but i whish we could do what the italians do.

I don't think Lyon could have made it anyway.

You said "balls"...

I watched the game yesterday in anticipation that PSV would pull off a upset. As a Munich fan, I am now cheering on the underdog of the competition. As a Chicago Fire fan, I also have a vested interest in this team as well...

Anyways, what I saw was a PSV team that was youthful and energetic, created several quality chances, but did not have the finishing touch. Pit that against a very mature and experienced AC Milan team that typically puts their goals in at the end of a half. The strikers for AC Milan were men. The strikers for PSV just seemed like boys. The other difference was the ability of Milan to pressure the PSV backs at the right moments. I saw defenders being pressured the second they turned to face their own goal... or ... 2-3 Milan players squeezing in on defenders or midfielders when facing their own goal. This created opportunities for AC because invariably, the PSV player being pressured would simply lose possession or make an errant pass.

Believe me, I was rooting on PSV and swearing at the screen everytime Park or Farfan had an opportunity inside the 18 and came up short (Park is a hell of a player), but to me Shevchenko (sp?) and Tomasson were just too strong on the ball and buried their opportunities. Park seemed to be on the ground as much as he was in and around the 18.

Milan is just a good side. Period. PSV is a team that sticks to its game plan, but if the goals aren't coming, will ultimately lose out.

My two euros...

I dont think Lyon would have been able to score enough goals against Milan to beat them. Milan is one of the 3 best teams in the entire world. Next year Lyon will have a better chance. They will get that goal scorer they need that they didnt have this year. To Ballon d'or who said French teams will never be big in Europe he must have forgotton about last year when we had 2 teams in European finals who could have both won if not for Barthez's blunder and Mourinho outcoaching Dechamps. Also this year of course Lyon was very unlucky with PSV they lose in penalties. Its all about luck.

Lyon et devenu un Grand D'Europe, est il sera encore plus dans les année a venir... il et en train de devenir le plus grand club Français de tous les temps

Aulas sont Modèle, c'est le club de Manchester United.

Lyon et devenu un Modèle en Europe en terme de gestion du club.


Sur la chaine OL TELE
Aulas vient de dire qu'il veut gagner la C1 au Stade de France

"Ce n'est pas pas un rêve, mais une ambition, et on va mettre tous les moyens pour ça..."

pour la première fois de l'histoire du club , on annonce l'ambition de gagner la LDC !!ce qui n'était même pas le cas cette saison !!

Juninho, Essien, Diarra vont prolonger avec Lyon.

de 20 à 40 Millions pour les Transferts.




les Italiens joue a chaque fois comme ça, tres peu d'occasion mais il marque.

je me rappelle du PSG - Milan et Milan - PSG ou le PSG avait dominé les 2 matchs avec pleins d'occasion (c'etait avec Anelka, Dalmat, Luccin...)

PSG - Milan: 1 occasion pour Milan 1 But (je croit aussi dans les arrêt de jeu)
Milan - PSG: 1 occasion pour Milan 1 But dans les arrêt de jeu



DOPAGE

Parma - Olympique Marsiglia Finale 1999

I don't know, I expect big things coming from French football in the coming years. I'm thinking that recent successes plus additional money will only bolster French progress. Wasn't there one of the largest TV deals with Canal recently, something along those lines. Money like that will go a long way so French clubs can keep good players and continue to find new ones.

A Lyon v. Milan match in my opinion would have been a lot more interesting. I'm not sure how it would have turned out, but we put up a good fight. There is something to be said for having a world class striker like Shevchenko and a solid team as well.

B d'O, read this article from AS and cheer up!

http://www.as.com/articulo.html?xref...&anchor=dasftb

...[OL] has a young average age which guarantees the future, and above all plays marvelously…from president Jean Michel Aulas, to the hiring of Le Guen three years ago, to a public that always sells out Gerland Stadium, they have converted Lyon into an example to follow… a magnificent team has been built, and without a lot of waste like some others [hmmm… now who could they be talking about?]… football of the highest class… one of the mirrors that all european football should look at itself in…
