Luque gave an interview to uefa.com recentley and he said some disturbing things. http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/news/Kind=8192/newsId=163677.html "I don't think they were as fantastic as people have said," he said. "They just took advantage of some minutes in the game where we did not play well. Certainly they played very well in those moments, but we helped them. We should have been more focussed, because with the players Milan have, if you lose concentration for a moment, they can exploit it." - Luque Thing is he mentioned what I feard most...and confirmed things I would prefer didn't exist. 1. Milan's goals (at least 2 of them) were a result of some very gross errors by Depor. 2. It is true that they lost focus..if they had kept their heads on their shoulders it could of been an entirely different match. 3. When a kid like Luque who's only 25 can identify their mistakes so easily...that usually spells "danger". I guess I'm getting my hair in a sling..but watching the Arsenal fans expressions today on tv, like how they were getting their hearts surgically removed from their chests gave me terrifying thoughts of what I would do if Milan lost. With Madrid going out this early, anything can happen...and it scares the sh^t out of me!
Re: Milan vs. Depor 2nd leg Canzano again with his usual positive outlook on things Luque should know that soccer is a game of mistakes. The team that takes advantage of the other teams mistakes will always win. You can argue that every goal scored in every match in history was the result of a mistake or lack of concentration. It's easier for someone to say they lost because they made mistakes rather than say the other team was better. I remember Ronaldo saying last year that Real were actually the best club in europe because they played the best football. And that Milan were just lucky to become champions. Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. The best team always wins.
Re: Milan vs. Depor 2nd leg WOW! AC Milan really has a very good chance of repeating as CL Champs with Real Madrid and Arsenal both gone. I think this will be a walk in the park for AC Milan....3-1.
Re: Milan vs. Depor 2nd leg Ronaldo can BITE me!!! I have never liked this punk...all those Brasil and Real Madrid gloryhunters just make me sick instead of cheering at all for their own country they worship RMCF and Brasil...WHATEVER!! Just like my Gunners SHOULD have won the FA Cup and CL Cup.....well guess what...even though I'm still sick to my stomach and don't feel like eating....WE LOST! So did Real Madrid....the Madrid circus.....what are they going to do now with the Prime Minister NOT being a big Real Madrid supporter like the former PM was...the new guy is HUUUUUUUUGE FC Barcelona supporter...LOL!!! I have been saying it for over a month now that I thought AC Milan and Arsenal were the 2 best clubs in Europe....AC Milan is still standing...the CL title is theirs for the taking!!! So ends the lesson. Sorry for the rant.
Re: Milan vs. Depor 2nd leg Never worry. I happen to believe that letting your anger out through any medium is psychologically healthy.
Is anybody actually watching this? I'm stuck with matchtracker. Just how bad is Milan playing right now?
WOW!! Is this the end of the world??? All these upsets. Simply shocking. Canzano, I knew you were cool and would understand my naked white hot rage...lol.
Several years ago, I remember the moment when I realized that it was all over for Franco Baresi, when a spry young Christian Vieri shrugged him off like a piece of lint to score. I had a similar moment two weekends ago when Simone Perrotta (no magician with the ball, truth be told) went through Maldini like he was a cone to score for Chievo. This third goal sounds like a confirmation of that feeling.
I can't believe this ********. Milan got suckered into playing at a fast pace when all they had to do was keep possession. Milan are gonna need 2 goals to win this thing.
I couldn't have said it better myself. All Milan had to do to advance in the CL was NOT allow a goal, forget scoring a goal.
Except it looked like Maldini was done in 2000/2001. Then he moved inside and was in the running for the Golden Ball.
Which was all a big PR job. Yes, he played much better last year than he had for a few years, but he was by no means among the world's best players last year.
I'm not saying he should have beaten Nedved, but the move inside and partnership with Nesta revitalized him.
