AC Milan 4 4 Udines AC Milan 4 4 Udines

On a rainy Monday night in Milan, forward leaning Udinese travelled to San Siro to take on the Winter Champions Milan, injury depleted, with Zambrotta, Pirlo, Nesta, Flamini, Boateng all out injured, Brandon Knight Jersey as well as captain Ambrosini suspended. However with the returning Ibrahimovic, the newly fit Pato and theexplosive Ca sano all mean that was set up for goals from kick off.However 8 goals, split evenly, including 6 goals in the second half and two last minute strikes mean that this was very un Italian fixture.The game had a slow start, with Udinese the better of the two sides, pre sing well with Inter target Sanchez and the ever impre sive Di Natale causing problems to the Milan backline, who clearly mi sed Nesta and really do need to make some defensive purchases in the transfer window, because the likes of Antonini and Bonera were struggling with the Allen Iverso Jersey pace and precison of Udineses forwards.Milan did have chances, with Pato and Robinho forging their own chances, but when captain and Serie A leading scorer Di Natale finshed from Inlers effort. on 35 minutes.Milan equalised 10 minutes, later followingatypically patient, pa sing move concluding with Pato finishing from Ibrahimovics a sist, after the Swede made space in the box for himself. The equaliser was against the run of play, but the score was indeed level.After the break, it was the Ro sineri who started well, but Udinese took the lead again when Sanchez got ahead of Bonera to head home. They then made it three when the Milan defence was caught from a quick counter and Di Natale finished coolly.At this point, with 20 minutes left, at 3-1, it would be have been logical to a sume that Milan were going to have do pull something really special to get back in to the game. And it was the bit of luck that you sometimes need to getresults in football, and that was the head of Benatia thatgave Thiago Silvas thunderbolt the lift it needed Andre Drummond Jersey , and it flew over the excellent Handanovic, who despte conceding 4, had a superb game between the sticks.Milan piled on the pre sure, and found the equaliser when super sub Ca sanos pa s found Pato in the box, who turned beautifully and finished.This was with 8 minutes to go, and Udinese got Milan on the counter yet again making it 4-3, taking advantage of Milans shoddy defending and substitute Denis finished home. But it was not to be the fairy tale game for underdogs Udinese, and Ca sanos slide rule pa s found Ibrahimovic in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, who controlled excellently under pre sure and slotted home the finish.As Joe Dumars Jersey wonderful as the game was, with all its twists and turns, flicks tricks and goals, it proves yet again, that AC Milan need to buy a centreback and probably a left back too. WIth Nesta now 34 and Bonetra unable to deal with the pace and trickery of Sanchez and Di Natale, Milan need to make waves in the transfer market. If they bought say, David Luiz from Benfica, and Criscito from Genoa, then you have a defence that could keep for a decade. But alas, it appears to be the intention of Berlusconi to have 5 or 6 world cla s forwards before 3 first choice centrebacks, meaning that Milan will be the victim of pace for a while yet, which makes for worrying news when one looks at the Tottenham fixture in February.However the silverlining to the Ro sineris defensive cloud came in the shape of Antonio Ca sano, who was simply majestic for the 20 minutes he got, despite his fitne Josh Jackson Jersey s levels.3vital a sists in approximately 45 minutes of football is a fantastic record, and proves that when fully fit, Fantonio could form that partnership with Ibrahimovic that every neutral fan in the world would like to see.
