Dinho & Milan Fall Down On Their Asses In Torino

By: fetyani | December 15th, 2008

Not much to say. Juventus deserved the 3 points by outplaying Milan. It was an exciting game, would’ve been better without the rain and even more better if we managed to score more .It’s no secret the squad played poorly. But sometimes it’s better to just forget, learn from your mistakes and move on to the next task.

Del Piero and Co. might have won this one, but we will be waiting for them at San Siro in May 5th, hopefully clinch the Scudetto on that day too (I can dream, can’t I!!).

Juventus 4-1 Milan, Highlights

(Note: Amauri is starting some “friendly” beef with Dinho, celebrating doing the Samba. Watch at minute 4:02)

Here is what Ronnie had to say:

“Inter are strong, but so are Milan,”

“We will try and catch them as soon as possible. I am having a good spell and I think it was the right decision to come to Milan.”

“I would be so happy to help this club to win. My main priority for the rest of this year is to get in better shape so that I can play a whole 90 minutes with intensity.”

“I really think that I am adapting well to the Italian championship and I am enjoying it.”

(Inter boss Jose Mourinho stirred controversy by saying recently that Italian football isn’t popular abroad.)

“That’s his opinion, but I’m happy to have chosen Italy,”

“Each League has its own special characteristics. In Spain they play a very technical brand of football and I wanted to change to a more direct style.”

“Personally I really like that there is more physical contact in the challenges.”

Milan is suffering at this point of the season more than ever. Gattuso is out for 5-6 months, Kaka is injured and could be out until January (worst case 3 months), Flamini has an injured ankle, Bonera hernia, Borriello after January. In addition to the lack of opportunities set up and poor finishing.

In the past post fifaguy mentioned that Ronaldinho has to take his game to the next level. Related to the injures as well, and not the best performance from Ronnie; meaning Dinho has to step up big time, at this time during the season we cannot accept to hear “be patient”. We are already 9 points behind the first position. It is too much on his shoulders, but when you have a few key players out, you have to handle the pressure and try to make the best out of it. He has the experience, and was “The Man” with Barca.

Milan’s next game is against Wolfsburg in the UEFA Cup, Milan has already qualified but first place is always better. On Sunday Milan will host Udinese in the final game before the break; David Beckham will be presented at that game.

Forza Milan! Forza Dinho!
