Trofeo Berlusconi

Trez misses Milan trophy clash Friday 27 August, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Trezeguet is out of tomorrow’s Trofeo Berlusconi match with Milan, but Fabio Capello is adamant he wants his first Juventus trophy.

“This will be another step towards the Serie A season,” assured the Coach, “but we need to understand whether the side we saw against Djurgarden was the real Juve or a performance created by the emotion of the night.”

The Bianconeri earned their spot in the Champions’ League with a confident 4-1 victory in Sweden, silencing many of their critics.

David Trezeguet bagged a brace during that tie, but he has not even made the trip to the San Siro due to a fitness worry. Paolo Montero and Gianluigi Buffon are also out of action, so Fabrizio Miccoli should partner Alessandro Del Piero.

Capello has already lifted the Champions’ League trophy with both Milan and Real Madrid, but faces a tricky Group phase in this year’s competition.

“When you start such an important adventure,” noted the experienced tactician, “the most difficult game tends to be the first one, and we’re opening our campaign away to Ajax. The Dutch giants are at a more advanced level of fitness and we know their strengths well.”

“Bayern Munich were already a strong side and have since signed some important players to make them competitive in Europe. Maccabi Tel Aviv are the least recognisable outfit, but they are a good outfit.”

“These are all difficult opponents,” concluded Capello, “but Juventus will also be considered a threat by any other club in Europe.”

Their entrance to the Champions’ League has unlocked new transfer funds and this evening director general Luciano Moggi confirmed that Fabio Cannavaro was on his way.

“We have not completed any deal,” noted Moggi, “but we are very close to a conclusion.”

Inter defender Cannavaro is expected to arrive in exchange for cash plus goalkeeper Fabian Carini. The deal could be made official over the weekend.

Ancelotti gets unfriendly with Juve Saturday 28 August, 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlo Ancelotti assures that tonight’s Milan-Juventus is never a friendly encounter, least of all when the two Coaches are facing their former clubs.

“This will be a very entertaining game with two teams at the highest level,” assured the Rossoneri boss ahead of the traditional Trofeo Berlusconi. “I can tell you for sure that this will not be friendly in nature, as these sides never play for anything less than a victory.”

This will be the 14th edition of the contest at the San Siro and a bizarre superstition suggests that the loser goes on to win the Scudetto that season. Last year the Bianconeri won it 2-0, but it was Milan who triumphed in Serie A.

Ancelotti is forced to do without Hernan Crespo and Paolo Maldini for this match, while Juve do not have David Trezeguet or Paolo Montero in their squad.

“Maldini is out as a precautionary measure, so Kakha Kaladze will play in his position at left-back. Clarence Seedorf has recovered from surgery and will take the field in the second half.”

There will be even more competition for places with the arrival of Fabricio Coloccini, back from his loan spell at Atletico Madrid.

“He is a young and talented player who has the quality to be part of this side. I am also convinced that he will improve even more under the tutelage of masters such as Maldini and Billy Costacurta.”

Crespo will have to wait a little longer for his first goal at the San Siro, as the former Chelsea man pulled up with a thigh problem during the Italian Supercup win over Lazio.

“I am fine and the scare has worn off,” reassured the Argentine. “I spoke with the medical staff and they said I can be back at Ancelotti’s disposal next week. After a year of lighter training methods in England, it is obvious I would suffer some muscular problems upon my return to the Italian pre-season preparation.”

Milan squad for the Trofeo Berlusconi:

G: Abbiati, Dida, Fiori

D: Cafu, Costacurta, Kaladze, Nesta, Stam

M: Abate, Ambrosini, Brocchi, Dhorasoo, Gattuso, Kakà, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Serginho

F: Pozzi, Shevchenko, Tomasson

sind die highlights

naja wenn milan nicht unfähig gwesen wär.. wär juve untergangen

[Mathis15]

Gratulation an Juve, und dass (ersatzgeschwächt) gg. ein komplettes Milan!

[[Nesta]]

naja komplett

Pirlo fehlte,Seedorf spielte nur kurz also ich würd das spiel nicht überbewerten !

[themanwho]

Hmz, also Milan war in diesem Spiel echt großartig - beim Chancenvernebeln. Trotzdem hatte Juve auch mehrere gefährliche Aktionen, wie zB den Stangenschuss.

[Pinturicchio]

Incredibile, was Milan für Chancen vergeben hat.

Doc bei den ersten beiden von Tomasson und Kaka mache ich den Spielern keinen Vorwurf, da war eindeutig der Scheiss Platz im San Siro Schuld.

Gefallen hat mir, das die Viererkette durchgespielt hat und Capello vermutlich (falls es mehr keine Neuzugänge gibt) seine 4 da hinten gefunden hat. Hoffe das Tudor auch in der Meisterschaft dann eigentlich Stammspieler neben Thuram ist, außer Cannavaro wird noch verpflichtet. Sie ist zwar noch nicht so stabil wie sie sein sollte, doch das kommt schon noch. Vorallem von Zebina bin ich sehr sehr überrascht, hätte mir eigentlich nicht gedacht, das er sich einen Stammplatz erkämpfen kann.

Blasi hat derzeit eindeutig die Nase vorn gegenüber Tacchinardi, bin neugierig was passiert wenn Appiah dazu kommt.

Olivera hat vermutlich wieder Klasse gespielt und auch das Tor gemacht. Seine torgefährlichkeit, könnt ein wesentlicher Grund sein sich einen Stammplatz gegenüber Camoranesi zu erkämpfen.

Das Pessotto begonnen hat und dadurch Kapo nur kurz zum Einsatz gekommen ist, freud mich weniger. Pessotto wird während der Saison nicht viel zum Einsatz kommen, bei Kapo sieht es da mMn anders aus. Spielte auch kurzzeitig mit dem Gedanken, ihn auch einmal als Stürmer zu bringen, sich dadurch einen Kauf eines 5. Stürmers zu ersparen. Doch wer die Highlights gesehen hat, weiß das das keine gute Idee ist. Die "Kopfballchance" hat er ja kläglich vergeben, ein Vollblutstürmer macht ihn ohne weiteres rein. Miccolis Vorarbeit zum Siegestor war ein Wahnsinn.

Freud mich das wir gewonnen haben und stimmt nicht noch positiver auf die Saison ein.
