5 Great transfers, best club in the transfer window, loads of promises and attacking play expectations!! Now who would have thought that these things would not make any difference to Milan's terrible form at the Giuseppi Meazza. The Rossoneri began their Scudetto challenge by losing their first match to the newly promoted Bologna with a scoreline of 1-2. Bologna gained the lead in the 11th minute but Milan equalized at the stroke of half time through an Ambrosini header assisted by R80. We did have a lot of shots on goal and many on target, but were unable to add to Ambro's effort. And then a late strike by Bologna sealed the game.
It would be unfair to say that we did not see any changes in the Milan strategy and gameplay from last season. Ronnie played a perfect game, showed glimpses of his great talent that won him footballer of the year and we hope this is just the start of his new life. With the score at 1-1, Carlo made a surprise move, a kind which we don't normally associate with Milan. He took off Jankluvoski and brought in the Hero of Milan, Andriy Shevchenco. So Milan's attacking intentions were clear. But intentions don't make a difference, do they?? Sheva was not much effective in his comeback game.
This might take some time for the new guys to settle in the team and gel with one another so I am not reading much into this defeat. But the central defence still worries me. If Bologna can break up this defence so easily, what are the likes of Inter, Juve and Roma gonna do to us?? Hoping to see Kaka soon, possibly against Genoa. Last but not the least, Abbiati. I feel sorry for this guy. He played some great pre-season friendlies and didn't do much wrong against Bologna either. Thats the way it is now FRANK!!
Next Match>> Milan Vs Genoa at Stadium Luigi Ferraris on the 14th September, 2008
