Probable lineup for Milan: Dida, Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Kaladze, Brocchi, Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka, Rui Costa, Crespo. Brescia is pretty weak this year but are coming off a nice win vs Chievo which brought them up to 12th in the table. This is an interesting test for the Sheva-less Rossoneri. The game is being shown at 4:30 today on RAI International (2-hr delay) and Thursday at 4:30 on Gol TV. It'll also be available on Yahoo Soccerpass sometime tomorrow.
Well, I really don't care how we played to be sincere. I had just hoped for the 3 ponts. Juve won so they have 6 points more now. What I am really mad about is that equation: No Sheva=No goal. I mean this thing might just become psychological for the other strikers. So I guess Crespo really sucks or maybe the midfield players were'nt good enough to supply him. Can someone who watched the game please tell me, and please post the game's resume. Thank you.

"Genio", Milan played well in the first half even though the pitch wasn't in good conditions to play football. Caracciolo had an early chance after a incredible error by Nesta, Dida made a good save, and after that Milan had some chances to score. Kaká was not confortable playing forward with a defender always in his back and in many moments he was in his natural position. Needless to say Crespo was alone in the attack most of the time. When he had a chance to score he was a second later. In the second half some players started to felt tiredness and Ancelotti put Tomasson and Dhorasoo, who played really well for only 15 minutes and created a fine chance to Tomasson. Really don't know why he didn't play more. Even with Sheva a difficult match to win because the most obvious choice there was to play straight football. Overall a boring game.
Thanks AC Milan Brasil. Thing is that I don't get how Ancelotti doesn't try and use Rui Costa in Kaka's place. That way he could have used Tomasson instead. Not that Tomasson is playing great but t really looks like Kaka needs some times out. Some rest. I'm sure Rui is eager to prove that he can still be a starter, so we should give him a run. He played good in the Brescia game. I don't know what to say about Crespo. He has been saying that the boos hurt him, but he hasn't done scratch for people not to boo him either. It is not great psychologically, but he should try to use this as a stimulus to try and make everyone shut up. I really think we might need a striker come January. And those are the real moments you wish Pippo wasn't hurt. He CAN definitely be in the right place at the right time to score. Anyways, let's wait and hope. FORZA MILAN!
