Posts Tagged ‘AC Milan. Lazio’

We face a tough test on Sunday as we play AC Milan at San Siro. Match will be played at 20;30 CET and will be our first night-match.

I think this will be a unique opportunity to finally beat AC Milan away, given their poor form and some important injuries: Nesta, Pirlo above all. However, this match should not be underestimated as Milan have a remarkable team and if they have their day they may well out-play every team in the world.

Delio Rossi continues to have missing Rocchi, Dabo, Firmani and Del Nero. Good news is that, yesterday, Matuzalem and Foggia  were cleared and are available for the match. Ledesma and Brocchi should start as usual in the midfield while Zarate and Pandev up front. I am eager to see how shall coach pick as a trequartista: Mauri, Foggia or even Meghni.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish a happy birthday to our team captain: Tommaso Rocchi.

Auguri capitano

Late last night AC Milan announced through their web-site the Cristina Brocchi has joined SS Lazio. It being reported that the player, 32 years of age signed a 3 year contract with Lazio estimated to earn just over 1 mil Euros per season, thus joining top earning at Lazio, Rocchi, Zarate and Matuzalem. Brocchi is in a terrific physical shape after going through the entire pre-season camp with AC. However, after the latter club purchased Ronaldinho, Flamini and Cardacio, it became obvious that there was little room left for Brocchi to play with the team.

Brocchi will today (Friday) arrive to the Italian capital for the official presentation and it is more than possible that he may start against Cagliari.

Corriere dello Sport bring pictures of his arrival late last night at Rome here.

Brocchi`s arrival was quite vital given the fact that Behrami and Mudingayi left while Mutarelli is frozen from the first team.
