Milanello Corner

Milan's loaned out midfielder Yoan Gourcuff signaling that he would like another shot in serie A and a chance to prove his worth especially to Milan. The young French starlet who currently playing for Bordeaux revealed his wishes to the press recently saying that he is ready to play for a bigger club and would love to return in serie A. However Gourcuff did added that even if he won't be returning to Milan it would be a problem to him as long as he can play at a club as big as Milan. For me his statement would just be an invitation for Milan to get more serious in bringing him back, sort of saying if you want me come get me!!!

Milan is known as a club that always give fair chances and amazing treatment to their players, those things that makes them one of the destination for many top soccer players. Even until these days, many ex-players loves the club for all the magnificent treatment they have had. Unfortunately a few days ago the pride of Milan have been injured by one of their ex-player, Alberto Gilardino, who said that the years he had in Milan was the worse years. It is a truly painful and disrespectful words for Milan especially to the fans that has been supporting him throughout those years. Why i considered Gila's words was inappropriate? Simple, what he considered as the worse years wast not all Milan's fault but most of it was his!!!! The club has payed a lot of money to take him Parma, they hope a lot of him, the club has given all the chances in the world, but he waste a lot of them. It is very obvious that his poor mentality was the main key for all the problems he had in Milan, he just...

The Serie A competition is having a break and will resume next year starting on January, all teams are set to prepare their squad right after the Christmas holiday with different purposes. The big three, Inter, Juve and Milan are definitely preparing themselves to win the Scudetto, while others are aiming for Champions League zone, UEFA spot and escaping relegation battle. Concerning the race for the Scudetto, though some pundits claim that the battle will only be between Inter and Juve, but never loose eyes on Milan as the Rossoneri would give a Shockwave for the two teams above them. Despite trailing 9 points behind Inter, Milan are only 3 points away from Juve and with many games still left to play, don't back them out as just yet. However, it won't be an easy ride for the 7 times Champions League winner to catch Inter as they will face a tough schedule after the break, which is playing Roma and Fiorentina. That's why, the Red and Black squad must do very well on their p...

This weekend would be another important week for the Rosoneri as they hope that their recent negative results would finally end certainly by beating Catania at San Siro. The red and black squad would definetely won't want to lose more ground on the title race, specially knowing that they are now 6 points away from league leader Inter. However many would predict that it won't be an easy job for Milan knowing that ahead of the clash against Catania, the Rossoneri are in the bak of two loses against Palermo (Last Week in Serie A) and agaist Lazio (Wednesday on Italian Cup), mentally it won't be easy for Milan players to bounce back immideately. Fortunately, for the 7 times Champions League Winner, aside from the negative aspect, preparing for the game, they also have some positive boost that could help them grab the three point on Sunday. Sheva's Return The first aspect would be their will to win,the fact that Milan have fail to win on their last four games in all competit...

Well it was another negative episode for Milan as for the second time in a row they faces defeat. After being humiliated by Palermo last weekend, this time it's LAzio's turn to put dirt on Milan's face as the Biancoceleste defeated the Italian giants 2-1 after extra time at the quarter final of Copa Italia last night at San Siro, Milan. It was Goran Pandev, who scored the ultimate blow for Milan, on the 93rd minutes. It was once again a weird match for the Rossoneri, who has to play without lots of their main man such as Pirlo, Gatusso, Pato, Borrielo and Ambrosini, as they was force to left the field empty handed despite not playing that bad. On the contrary Milan could have win the match, if not for some miss chances in the first half and also Emerson's sending off on the second half. Despite the missed chances and the sending off, Milan did manage to score first through Andry Shvechenko's amazing strike, unfortunately just minutes from taking the victory, Favalli...

Many fans maybe wondering, what happened to Milan in these past few weeks as they went front 1 point above Inter and suddenly ends up 6 point a drift in less than a month. Well my analyzes for the cause it's all about mentality, not that Milan doesn't have a strong character but obviously the team is having trouble in determining their focus and concentration in the title race. If you guys realize, Milan's recent negative result emerged right after they take the Serie A table (after defeating Napoli), the next weekend they have to loose their top spot after only drawing against Lecce and from then on Milan's form started to decrease and reach its peak on last Sunday's game against Palermo, which ends their 11 match unbeaten record, after two horrible defeat at the start of serie A. This fact shows that after more than 2 years absence in the title chase, it seems Milan players are still feeling the chill (just like a mediocre team that have just lead the table) as th...
