Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) [RESULT] if the celtic/shaktar game stays tied and benfica tie Milan, then basically any Benfica win over Shaktar advances Benfica...so they may be playing for a tie. They would need a win anyway even if they beat Milan, so not too much advantage in winning.[/RESULT]
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) Joining a bit late...bummer...if no Freddy.. I see Benifica has used 2 subs, correct? Props for the time feed, I have the TV Ant stream and they are not showing the score nor the time, and of course my Chinese is a bit rusty Also Milan has been on their heels in the last few minutes seems like they are looking for the draw.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) as talented as he is, i think this part of his game is really pulling him back....too many times, he had dribbled too much, keep the ball too long, and take wild shots when he had better options....this is why i think Adu will surpass him in the near future....
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) the promising young american is coming on according to the commentator with a weird accent
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) 5 minutes for glory, Freddy. Wonder if they'll get the ball to him. Regardless, it's another good step for him, appearing in a match such as this.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) and Milan almost win it a few seconds later (nothing to do with Freddy)... Corner to Milan... Freddy gets his first touch, works the counter... We're in stoppage time...
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) IMO, he's now a part of the best game I've ever seen a yank play in. this is a cracker.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) Freddy loses it out of bounds on the left... now a nice touch and pass to the right... Freddy playing in the middle of the park... and that's the game. Final, 1-1
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) freddy gets 5min to show his magic...c'mon. at least give the boy 10.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) worse, "would you look at me while I'm talking to you, and mute that thing" I'M WATCHING FOOTIE, WOMAN i failed to shout, being a total wimp
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) He was on the field for five minutes. Had six or seven touches, a couple of nice passes, lost one dribbling on the sideline, and one nice touch to avoid a marker in the center of the field. On the field too little to judge one way or the other.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) Di Maria is terrible. He's selfish and a poor passer. Does he play better than this in league games? Because I'm trying to wrap my head around why he's first choice off the bench over Adu.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) Gattuso put in 12K running today, according to their tracker. Benfica look so fluid (they're re-showing the game here, and they will continue to do so with all the games for the next 24 hours, love the digital world). This was one of those could have been 5-5 games but was better because it wasn't. Shot quality wasn't up to the play. Man, the play was simply beautiful.
Re: ADU: Benfica vs. Milan, 11/28 (R) Its good for freddy 5 minutes against Milan is way better than nothing, needless to say that he made some attack that earned a corner and dribbled a defender out of his way in the middle of the field keep it going kid.
