AC MILAN VS LAZIO MATCH SUMMARY

LAZIO VS AC MILAN MATCH SUMMARY.
The line is a little bit frustrating for me,to see Seedorf in the starting eleven is not making any sense.I am upset with Seedorf's performence last week and I only hope for much better form from him.Favalli have to be replace with Danielle Bonera after he pick up an injury at warm up session.The same line up shows how Carletto newest formation is delivering to his expectation and this formation that includes right winger(Becks) have blossom quickly.Jankulovski playing at leftback is limiting his contribution to the team overall performence,I honestly feels he can perform a lot better if Carletto let him play at the left flank.

Becks as usual gave his best in attacking and defending,he shows full commitment to us and I say keep him at Milan.No doubt about his contribution have lift the team spirit.Janku almost scores in the early minutes of 1st half but his shot is saves by Lazio's goalkeeper,he make great run from the left flank that gave us the fisrt shot of the match.Zarate looks very dengerous especialy when he plays a one two pass with Pandev,while in defending Ladesma is doing great in blocking any run from Pato and Kaka.He stop Kaka's shot in first 10 minutes and making the job to beat them even harder.Becks is doing the crossing and the defending amazingly well at the right flank helping Zambrotta in the same time.Zambrotta is definately the best defender in this match when in numerous occasion he stop Zarate,Pandev and Meghni attacks.

Lazio is playing a pressing game in the 1st half and pressing the less fast players like Becks and Pirlo who is the heart of the midfields.The first 30 minutes is clearly dominated by Lazio,Pandev almost broke the deadlock in the 34 minutes but brilliant saves by Abbiati deny his effort.Kaka at the first 30 minutes is being over power by Ladesma while once again Lazio almost score this time with Zarate but once againt stopped by Abbiati.The domination shows by Lazio is useless after Pato from Becks cross scores great goal that adds to his goals tally.Kaka initialy start the move that see us leading 1-0 in the 1st half.Seedorf poor first is really getting me angry and I wish for Carletto to replace him with Ronnie or Flamini but he still there in 2nd half and continue dissapointing us with string of miss passed and it almost like we are playing with 10 players.

I don't see any direct contribution from him and it only gets worst as the game proceed.The starts is unbeliveable when Becks's freekick meet Ambrosini head at far post of Lazio left hand side and into the beck of the net.Kaka continue his red hot form by scoring the 3rd goals in 83 minutes,his mazy run outclass the Lazio defend and with calm he score his 10th goals of the season.He have evolve from an attacking midfielder to a second striker in this new formation and I really feel this have suit his style.Carletto have obviously build the team around him and it added to his confidence boost so far.Abbiati have been the new heroes at goal for us and together with Sanderos,Bonera and Zambrotta they combined well to exacute Carletto's strategy.

Sanderos have shown a little bit of maturity since his moves from Arsenal and with 2 players providng the goods from midfields that's Becks and Pirlo we have the best midfields partnership.

Becks and Pirlo is like two superb quarter back that supply pin point passed to the attackers we have.Seedorf have been dissapointing for us and i don't want to talk about that anymore.We played a true itallian style of football,nothing too flsahy but effective enough to win the game week in week out.Next match I hope we will display a miles better showmanship than this week and I hope to see more of Pato playing like a true mature superstars.Its not like he is not great for us but he in a few occasion shows his weakness especially in term of his first and second touch of the ball provided to him.He needs to widen his game for me. Lazio in long period of time have passed better and created equal amount of chances,in fact their passes is better than us.

AC MILAN VS LAZIO

MILAN, Italy — David Beckham set up two goals as AC Milan beat Lazio 3-0 in Rome to go second in Serie A on Sunday.The result at the Stadio Olimpico left Milan with 44 points, six points behind leader and city rival Inter Milan, which drew 1-1 with Torino earlier in the day. Juventus slipped to third with 43, following its 3-2 loss to Cagliari on Saturday.

Beckham completed his first full 90 minutes for Carlo Ancelotti's team and created Milan's first two goals and helped him secure his place in Milan's squad for the UEFA Cup.Milan's next UEFA Cup match is away to Werder Bremen on Feb. 18 and Beckham will also still be available for the second leg on Feb. 26."(Andrea) Pirlo is in great condition and with Beckham alongside him, it is a good balance.

They are great players and help control the game," said Ancelotti."We held onto the ball and passed it well. We're in a good run of form, we're playing well and looking to the future with optimism," Ancelotti continued.

Beckham's low cross in the 42nd minute found Pato unmarked in the Lazio box and the young Brazilian fired in his 10th goal of the season.The England midfielder sent in a trademark free kick just after halftime and Massimo Ambrosini rose above the Lazio defence to put Milan into a 2-0 lead.Kaka put the result beyond doubt seven minutes from time. He exchanged passes with Clarence Seedorf and ran on to slot the ball under Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Muslera."The problem is psychological. We were playing well, but then to let in two goals - one of which could have been offside," Lazio coach Delio Rossi said. "It is a shame because they were playing well."

ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO@MY IDOL

Some of you out there might criticise his poor form lately and is not seeing anything great like he used to produce before he leaves for Chelsea,but Andiry Shevchenko is always at his best for me.

Andriy Shevchenko is still working as hard as before and he in my eyes still have that X-Factor that influence the game with his lethal finish whether with his right foot,left foot,or his head.People like Didier Deschamp,Fabio Capello and Nesta use to regard him as the striker that can scores with "half a chance",his charmed fan like me with his pure class when its turn to scoring goals or providing for others in the team he played for such as AC Milan,Chelsea and Dinamo Kiev.What is so special about his ablity is all known to the fan and the neuteral that loves football.When he won the Ballon dor(European Best Player)as voted by the European Football Press,he win it based on his providing talent and his scoring rate every season with Milan.

He joined Milan from Kiev when he stole the European Footballing attention with his perfect combination with Sergei Rebrov at Kiev,he doing the impossible by defeating Barcelona at Nou Camp with a hatrik that show him a much bigger possibility with a moves to Milan.How many of Europe top club can humiliated Barca like that?,the transfer to Milan see him broke the tradition by becoming the Serie A top scorer in his first season with Milan.He go on and rule Italian League with so many great season while his name as the World's top football players can't be denied.

Shevchenko is some kind of a wierd and unique player for me,he is not extravangance like Thiery Henry but he can score some of wonderful goals and his ability to install fear in the defenders heart is really what makes him as one of the sought after striker in the new millenium.Sheva's ability to scores inside or outside the penalty goals have cheered so many of us(Milan Fan) .

His current situation can be solve by Carletto is he knows how to implement the tactics and formation that will surely gave Sheva his form back.

When he was at Chelsea,stupid Mourinho have played him in a 4-3-3 formation that see him play at the left wing post like what Ronnie used to do for Barca,that is the roots of the problem that hit him at chelsea,he can't play without somebody upfront like Owen of Newcastle.

Another trouble is his pace seems to have fade a little bit but that wasn't the ultimate final for him and i convince that he can came back with a bang next season.
