AC MILAN HEADLINES

FEDERICO MARCHETTI COULD JOIN MILAN IN THE SUMMER.



Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, currently on loan from Albionleffe, has been targeted by AC Milan as their future custodian.The 26-year-old has been scouted by the Rossoneri and is seen as the long term replacement for Christian Abbiati. Marchetti began his career at Torino and has been in impressive form this season.IMScouting’s network of scouts in Italy describe Marchetti as a "reliable goalkeeper between the posts, has great reflexes and has very good one on one ability. Needs to improve his aerial ability in order to really become a top goalkeeper. Season 2008/2009 is his first season as a first choice goalkeeper in Serie A with Cagliari and he made a great impression with some excellent performances.
"Marchetti is contracted to Cagliari until the end of the season and to Albionleffe until the end of the 2012/2013 season. Video evidence of the custodian can be seen on the video below.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWpEQbzb9To&eurl=http://www.imscouting.com/global_news_item.aspx?id=1534





MEXES IS WANTED AT SAN SIRO

Olivier Jouanneaux, agent of Roma’s central defender Philppe Mexes, spoke to calciomercato.com about the situation of the player after the rumors about Milan:
"What I can say is that the relationship with Roma is very good. I speak to Daniel Prado on the phone every week, and not just about Mexes but also other things. This confirms the excellent relationship I have with the club. And I do not see what interests or means I could have to put pressure on the director Giallorosso and the club for the transfer of Philippe to Milan and other clubs".
"I never put pressure and I have not looked at another club. Things that have been suggested by an Italian national sports newspaper. Since Philppe arrived at Roma there have been constant rumors on his likely transfer. Even last year it was said that he would go away and instead it is 5 years that he is at Roma. I do not know where these assumptions come from because they have no foundation.
To clarify: neither the player nor I have had any kind of relationship with the Lombard club. To conclude: "The arrival of Philippe to Roma was made by mutual agreement with the club, as was the contract renewal. So, all that happens will be with the joint agreement of the Giallorossa leadership, as it has always been.

AC MILAN 1-2 SAMPDORIA (GUYS WHERE DO YOU THINK WE'LL END UP)

Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini scored a goal apiece as Sampdoria added to AC Milan's troubles in a 2-1 home win on Sunday. Milan, who like Samp were eliminated from the UEFA Cup in mid-week, remain third in the Serie A, with Fiorentina failing to draw level as they drew 1-1 at bottom side Reggina. Milan suffered against the Genoa hosts, whose inspired playmaker Cassano threatened with a free kick, scored a 33rd-minute header and set up Pazzini for his second-half goal. After bravely parrying the free kick, goalkeeper Christian Abbiati was stunned as he deflected Cassano's effort with his feet behind the goal line. Milan's equalizing efforts after the break had no effect and Abbiati was beaten again on 51 minutes, when Pazzini scored his fifth goal in as many games after transferring from Fiorentina in January. The red-blacks pushed forward desperately, but only managed to pull one back through a great header from the young Brazilian Pato off a cross from veteran Giuseppe Favalli.A miserable week for AC Milan ended with a 2-1 Serie A defeat at Sampdoria.Carlo Ancelotti‘s side was knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Werder Bremen on Thursday, while Sunday‘s defeat all but ended the team‘ s hopes of winning the title.But Milan president Silvio Berlusconi, speaking from Brussels, gave a calm response following Milan‘s defeat. “Unfortunately we have an entire team in the treatment room and when you can’t play winners like Kaka, everything is more difficult,” said the Italian Prime Minister. The only good thing for the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti was that both Fiorentina and Genoa (fourth, fifth at the standings) drew at their respective matches, allowing the "Rossoneri" to be a little bit quiet. A win over Sampdoria was the only possible medicine for ailing Milan after the UEFA Cup failure; but Ancelotti's stay at the team is also in danger.

The only positive things is we still at 4th place,Pato is playing fine but the supply is not helping him at all.Cassano is the engine for Samp with a Pato like position,it's very frustrating to see Pirlo and Seedorf playing really hard but constantly giving away the ball.Pato didn't look as comfortable when for a long periond in the 1st half he can't really shows his ability all because of good man marking strategy by Samp's defenders.Flamini got a good chance but it hit the side netting while the crosses for Pato have been unbelievebly poor,Antonini shows various weaknesses and Cassano capitalysed on that with a goal and what so we get?Yes a yellow card for Abbiati for arguing with the Ref.I started to doubt some of our stars and youth players so far this season,Antonini,Becks,Pirlo and as usual Seedorf is not doing what we expected from them.When you wear the red and black of Milan you have to be a worldclass players but no wonder why Sampdoria is tearing us apart.I don't know how many times I have said this,im tired restraining my eyes from completely close and when i open it the woeful display of nightmare is right infront of me.All my friends is sleeping their butt off and leaving me alone watching the horror show from Carletto side.There's a rumors about Ronnie is for the fact 100% fit but Carletto decides to favor Seedorf than him,Who score more goal?and more providing?another fact that i have shouted for so long is Pato wasn't going to be a good lone striker,Pippo and Sheva is available why won't stupido Carletto use either of them?Its like Carletto hear my shout this time and bringing in Pippo but we need both of them from the start to ease the marking suffered by Pato and let him free a lil bit.Some of you might argue that Pippo is unable to play for 90 minutes and thats why Carletto bring him in after half of the game but I feel all great players have a good enough stamina to last the entire match.Pazzini completed my awful night without my cat besides me and scores leaving us with no hope for next season of UCL,Cassano in other hand have been the best player on the pitch.Sanderos wasn't in great form and for me we still in big trouble eventhough Kaka is playing.With slow players that i don't have to mention on the pitch we have no real penetration and attacking quality.How many shot on target and on goal does we have?haha the console of the night come from Pato with great cross from Favalli,finally they delivers a good cross.Good form shows by Emerson with a goal from him,oppss..nah..we lose the game.What else to say?

AC MILAN HEADLINES

NO MORE MISTAKE CARLETTO ( GALLIANI )

AC Milan is in a corner, this is crystal clear. There was a meeting today at Milanello with Adriano Galliani, the team and coach Carlo Ancelotti.
It lasted only a few minutes, little words and a lot of bitterness. One thing is now sure: AC Milan’s only objective is to get at least the third place in Serie A to avoid the Champions League preliminary.

No threats by Adriano Galliani, an order, the club will not accept anymore mistakes. After eight years, the relationship with Carlo Ancelotti will come to an end. The Uefa Cup was an important goal and now AC Milan cannot afford (especially for financial problems) to stay out of the Champions League for the second year in a row.

AC MILAN WILL QUALIFY FOR UCL NEXT SEASON ( CARLETTO)





Ancelotti is not rushing into any conclusion after the Uefa Cup defeat: "I think it is too early to judge. I see AC Milan in the Champions League and I see the coach on the bench. Our elimination still hurts, but we must concentrate on the championship and on the remaining target which is very important for our and the club’s future. We can’t afford to loose concentration now.

The only thing that matters is focusing on the next two matches, which are very important. We have some injured players and it's a very delicate moment. Tomorrow we must play with great attention and application. It's an opportunity for putting things right”.
