Match report: Udinese 1- Milan 0


  • Goals scored: Di Natale 22'
  • Milan's offense: Milan held the ball for much of the game, but they did not look close to scoring, especially for the first two-thirds. Pato and Inzaghi looked sluggish and unimaginative. When Ronaldinho and Huntelaar were brought on to replace the two starters, things became more exciting. But they still did not score.
  • A word to describe the match: Brutal. It was surprising that no one was seriously hurt.
  • Best impersonation of Gattuso: Flamini for getting two yellow cards in under 90 seconds. (See photo above)
  • It is not nice to point fingers, but other players played badly also: Massimo Oddo spent most of the evening ruining the offside trap and single-handedly putting Udinese players on onside. Also, Gianluca Zambrotta does not appear to be able to kick the ball with his left foot.
  • What this match teaches us: It may never be possible to figure out why this team can't score goals.

  1. Huntelaar plays for Milan? Oddo is back?

    I'm very out of touch.

    I saw the highlights of this game on TV...

  2. Huntelaar signed right after you left for Brazil. Oddo just mysteriously re-appeared one day. I don't know where he was or when he got back, but now we are stuck with him.

    I miss Bonera...
