Sandro not in for Uefa Cup

Saturday, September 6, 2008
Milan have left out their best defender out of the 25 man squad for the Uefa Cup. Sandro Nesta, who has been out of the Rossoneri team in their recent campaigns due to injuries, is battling with a back problem and has missed the pre-season games and the first one against Bologna. Ancellotti has chosen 10 defenders for the Uefa Cup including veteran Paolo Maldini.
Watching Milan's first game against Bologna, which we lost 1-2, I am not sure our defence looks ready to take on the big guns and even put up a challenge. But I still feel that this is the right move as we have to make sure that our best defender stays fit for the Scudetto. I guess thats our priority this season and besides that Sandro won't be able to cope up with the all the pressure as he is still recovering. So is it a bye bye to European Cup for this season?? Not sure about that. I think the inclusion of Maldini indicates something. The plan might be to use Sandro in the league when he gets fit and Paolo's services will be required mainly for the Cup, plus he can always fill in the League too and provide some order and experience.We surely are making some tough moves. Lets see if its worth it. Milan begin their Uefa challenge on the 18th sept against Zurich
 FORZA ROSSONERI!!
