AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus Tickets
Being stormed with rumors of leaving Ac Milan, Alexandre Pato proved his commitment to the club by securing a three points for the Rossoneri in their latest Serie A match against Chievo Verona on Sunday at Marc Antonio Bentegodi.
The Brazilian starlet, who came into the pitch as second half substitute, scored the winning goal that gave Milan the precious three points which kept their five points gap with Inter.
AC Milan extended their lead to six points in Serie A despite a 4-4 home draw with Udinese, though SSC Napoli will be hoping to close in on the Rossoneri when they host Juventus later.
Fans at San Siro were treated to an eight-goal thriller as Milan came from behind three times to force a 4-4 draw. Pato cancelled out Antonio Di Natale’s 35th-minute opener on the stroke of half-time only for Alexis Sánchez (53) and Di Natale (66) to put the visitors 3-1 up, but the hosts rallied through a Medhi Benatia own goal (78) and a second Pato strike (82). Germán Denis (89) then grabbed what looked to be the winner with a minute remaining, yet the league leaders salvaged a point via Zlatan Ibrahimović in added time.
Just as it was predicted, there’s no escape for the unsporting behavior that Inter Milan’s striker, Samuel Eto’o, did to Chievo defender Bostjan Cesar in both team’s latest meeting in the league last weekend.
In the game that the Flying Donkey won 2-1, the Cameroon striker was spotted head-butting the Slovenian defender in the first half but walked away without any caution and even went on to score the Nerazzuri’s only goal in the match.
Rafa Benitez is a man under siege. The Spanish tactician is finding life in Italy very hard. Inter Milan slumped to a humiliating 2-1 loss to Chievo Verona on Sunday to leave them in 6th place in the Serie A standings and 9 points behind arch rivals and leaders AC Milan.
The plain and simple truth is that Benitez was never the right man for the job. With no significant achievements during his 5 year tenure at Anfield except for winning the Champions League, Benitez lacked and still lacks the tactical expertise and knowledge to coach a club like Inter.
Reigning Italian Serie A champion, Inter Milan, still unable to lift themselves from their recent slump as the Nerazzurri slipped even more down the table after being defeated by Chievo 2-1 last Sunday.
Sergio Pellisier and Davide Moscardelli goals are more than enough to keep Rafael Benitez’s side stumble as they can only pulled a goal back from the always available Samuel Eto’o , who controversially would’ve not stayed in the field because head-butting incident earlier on.
One of Italy‘s most treasured coaches Claudio Ranieri has threatened to quit AS Roma. It is no secret that Roma have been struggling for most of the early part of this season and this has apparently led to speculation concerning Ranieri’s future.
Speaking to the press, Ranieri gave his clearest hint so far stating that he is not tied down to the capital club. Ranieri stated that he could always, ‘find work elsewhere.’
Ranieri was upset at his sides recent performances and failure to mount a strong challenge for the scudetto. He also stated that he would like Roma to play like Barcelona. In fact the Roma tactician revealed that he had talked to Barca coach coach Pep Guardiola to find out his formula for success.
Ac Milan got themselves a positive morale boost ahead of their important Champions League match against Real Madrid next midweek after beating Chievo Verona 3-1 in the league.
Playing in front of their fans at San Siro, the Rossoneri’s Brazilian samba boys, Alexandre Pato and Robinho were the ones responsible in providing the woes for their opponents by scoring all Milan’s goals.
Milan are looking to bag all three points when they host high flying Chievo Verona this Saturday at the San Siro. Chievo are currently 5th in the league 1 point below the Rossoneri after an amazing start to the season.
With Milan seeming to have found some headway with new coach Allegri after a tumultuous start to the season, there is a lot optimism in the team ahead of the clash.
One player who has impressed and is oozing confidence ahead of this match is Ghanaian international Kevin Prince Boateng. Speaking to Milannews the 23 year old stated that the match against Chievo was a must win.
AC Milan regained top spot in the Serie A after beating Parma 1-0 thanks to a sublime Andrea Pirlo strike. With more fixtures to be played today, the Rossoneri could find themselves back to 5 place if Inter, Lazio, Chievo and Brescia all win their matches.
However that is not stopping coach Allegri from milk their victory. Milan desperately needed that victory if they were to challenge Inter for the scudetto. Of course all eyes will turn to the Italian derby tonight when Inter host Juventus at the San Siro.
The Italian Serie A season gets underway this weekend after a 3 month break with some very mouth watering fixtures key among them being the Udinese v Genoa, Fiorentina v Napoli and Sampdoria v Lazio matches.
This will however not be like any other previous season as the strategic buying that most clubs employed means that the league will be more competitive than previously thought. A good example would have to be Juventus.
While Inter still remain as favourites to repeat their epic treble, the Bianconeri cannot be ruled out especially after acquiring some very talented players. Milos Krasic, Simone Pepe and Leonardo Bonucci are just a few of these players.
