AC Milan vs Chelsea - Pre Season American Tour (Friendly)

Let me begin by saying that my expectation for this match was pretty low, in fact I would have been very happy with a draw but our team managed to pleasantly surprise me.

In the first half, both teams played a testing game where each side was cautiously watching and sizing up the other team. In our fore wing we had Emmanuelson, El Shaarawy and Boateng with the help of Traore and Flamini in the mid field but our chances were very limited with Boateng not picking up his pace until the middle of the first half. Defensively, we had Bonera, Antonini and Yepes on their toes watching out for players like Eden Hazard and the big Lukaku.

Needless to say, the first half ended in a goal-less draw and we all looked forward to the second half hoping that Milan will hang on and hopefully play better in the second half.

The second half saw numerous changes by both teams with Montolivo, Abate, Nocerino, Ganz came in for the Milan squad. The deadlock was broken in the 68th minute when a blocked shot from El Shaarawy was rebounded by Emmanuelson into the Chelsea goal.

There was marked improvement in the Milan game play as the subs worked hard both in Midfield and defense to add pressure on the Chelsea defense and to stop Chelsea from moving forward and converting any of their chances.

With this I and a host of other Milan fans were happy to watch our team hang on to our one goal lead till the blowing of the final whistle.

Our team still has a long way to go but like I said earlier there is still hope for us and this match just gave us something to hold on to.
I look forward to seeing you at our next friendly match, ciao

If Kaka returns to Milan...

I will do cart wheels down my street...it would be the best news ever!!! Like, I'm going to be sitting on the edge of my seat until I find out if he is actually coming back or not. If he does come back, I feel sorry for myself, cos I will celebrate like never before :)

Sad...very sad :(

So these past weeks have been a horror for me and I'm sure it's been a horror to you my fellow Milan fans as we saw not only Ibrahimovich sold but also Thiago Silva. Let's not forget we lost Pirlo not long ago to Juventus and at the end of the season most of our players like Gattuso left so we are left with an empty looking Milan squad.

There's been some backlash from all of this with some fans turning away from the team but even though I am very sad about the recent happenings, I am a die-hard Milan fan who will stick to the bitter end of this bleak period. Of course I am hoping that we will make some relevant transfers that will boost the team during this transfer period but even if we don't I guess I'm stuck with Milan and Milan is stuck with me.

I do hope I will see you guys next season, don't give up yet...please.

My Sincere Apologies

Let me just say how sorry I am that I left you hanging in the middle of the 2011/12 season. There is no excuse except that so many things have been going on in my life right now that updating the site after each match was virtually impossible. To fix this I will now post a summary of our season and hope you can forgive me for slacking.

On the brighter side, I have fixed all and now I am more than ready for the 2012/13 season and I hope I'll see you this coming season.
