Kevin-Prince Boateng Hat Trick off Bench Propels AC Milan to 4-3 Comeback Win

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/130012315_crop_650x440.jpg

AC Milan pulled off a stunning victory at the Via del Mare, where they won one of their last eight trips on Sunday, coming from 3-0 down at halftime to win 4-3 against Lecce.

It was a miserable first half for the defending champions. They went down three minutes in from a header off a free kick by Lecce captain Guillermo Giacomazzi which got the home side reeling.

Aside from a couple of chances, Milan seemed lacking throughout the first half, especially the first 25 minutes. They failed to get anything going, and Lecce got even more going for them.

Christian Abbiati took down Daniele Corvia, though Corvia was down before Abbiati even made contact with him, which allowed Massimo Oddo, on loan from Milan, to put Lecce up 2-0.

Seven minutes later, Carlos Grossmuller, despite appearing offside, made it 3-0 and seemed to put the finishing touches on a shocking day at the del Mare.

However, as AC Milan knows full well, a 3-0 halftime lead is not insurmountable.

Manager Massimiliano Allegri made two halftime changes, pulling off Robinho and Massimo Ambrosini for Alberto Aquilani and Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Only 30 seconds into the second half, Boateng nearly roped in a goal from about 25 yards out, but Massimiliano Benassi did well to deny him.

However, the more Boateng plays, the more he looks like he is becoming one of the greatest attacking midfielders in the world.

A corner kick in the 49th deflected to him in the far corner of the box and the 24-year-old sent a forceful, bending laser of a shot into the side netting to make it 3-1.

It only took another six minutes for Boateng to do it all again. He curled one into the top left corner from 20 yards out to pull Milan within one.

During this point of the game, Lecce really began to unravel. The discipline that was present in the first half was gone quickly. In the first 20 minutes of the half, the Wolves picked up four yellow cards.

The final card was given to Benassi, who was upset about Boateng's very strange goal in the 63rd minute. The ball rolled just inside the corner of the goal and barely made it over the line before Benassi could knock it out, but it clearly crossed over, securing a hat trick for Boateng which took only 18 minutes to complete.

Milan continued to control the game, with both Antonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimovic nearly getting a goal each in the 68th and 70th, but the fourth wasn't far off.

With seven of the 90 minutes left to play, Antonio Cassano played a ball to the head of center back Mario Yepes, who put the icing on the cake for the Rossoneri and sealed a 4-3 victory.

Milan's performance in the second half was the stuff of champions. They dominated the game, controlled possession and played like the champions of the 2010-11 season.

It was a complete team effort. For the last year, critics have been questioning Milan's attack as one of the most selfish in the world with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato, Robinho, and Antonio Cassano. Ibrahimovic sparked life into the attack, despite not finding the goal. Antonio Cassano was absolutely brilliant, inspiring the club and providing two assists.

AC Milan are back. They have won their last three matches and are nearly at full health once again. Allegri's men are looking set to fight anyone who thinks they can take the Scudetto away from the defending champions.

Penglihatan Bermasalah, Gattuso Belum Mau Pensiun

Milan - Gangguan penglihatan memaksa Gennaro Gattuso tak bisa turun membela AC Milan. Meski tak tahu kapan masalah penglihatannya itu akan pulih, 'Si Badak' enggan untuk pikirkan pensiun.

Gatusso terakhir membela Milan pada pertandingan pembukaan Liga Italia saat menjamu Lazio. Pada laga yang berakhir 2-2 itu, Gattuso harus digantikan oleh Mark Van Bommel setelah cedera di menit ke-20 akibat berbenturan dengan Alesandro Nesta.

Benturan tersebutlah yang diduga menjadi penyebab gangguan penglihatan gelandang internasional Italia itu. Gattuso saat ini mengalami penglihatan ganda.

Tak ingin menyerah dengan menyerah dengan masalah penglihatan yang dideritanya, Gattuso menolak saran untuk segera pensiun.

"Sekitar 25 hari yang lalu ada kemungknan bahwa saya dipaksa untuk pensiun. Hal pertama yang disampaikan Wakil Presiden Adriano Galliani katakan padaku adalah jangan terlalu khawatir karena klub bisa memakaiku dengan cara yang lain," kata Gattuso pada Footbal Italia.

"Akan membutuhkan waktu lebih dari ini untuk mengalahkan saya. Yang terpenting adalah untuk tidak menyerah. Saya dapat berlatih, namun tidak dapat bermain karena memiliki penglihatan ganda."

"Ada waktu ketika saya memikirkan sesuatu yang terburuk, tapi saya ingin bermain sepak bola lagi," tuntasnya optimistis.

Galliani Kagumi Balotelli

Milan - Penampilan apik Mario Balotelli di derby Manchester mengundang komentar dari Wakil Presiden AC Milan, Adriano Galliani. Ia mengungkapkan kekagumannya pada striker muda Italia itu.

Balotelli tampil menawan saat Manchester City dijamu Manchester United, Minggu (23/10/2011). Dia mencetak dua dari enam gol kemenangan The Citizens atas rival sekotanya tersebut.

Galliani tak segan melontarkan kekagumannya kepada Balotelli. Tak cuma itu, dia menyiratkan keinginan untuk memboyong eks pemain Inter Milan itu ke klubnya.

"Balotelli adalah keinginan saya, dia adalah pemain besar," tutur Galliani pada Sky Italia.

"Membawa dia ke Milan? Siapa tahu, untuk saat ini itu hanya sebuah keinginan."

Galliani juga mengakui bahwa Balotelli akan menjadi partner yang cocok bagi striker andalan Rossoneri saat ini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"Ibrahimovic? Dia baik-baik saja dan akan bertahan hingga kontraknya berakhir. Ibra dan Balotelli akan mengimbangi satu sama lain, mereka akan bagus bermain bersama," katanya.

AC Milan reveal 'passion' to link Mario Balotelli with Zlatan Ibrahimovic

AC Milan have once again signalled their intention to bring Mario Balotelli back to Italy, after his sparkling display for Manchester City at Old Trafford.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/article-1319470000516-0E81FF2A00000578-556001_636x300.jpg

The 21-year-old striker banged his fifth and sixth goal of the season in the 6-1 mauling of Manchester United at the weekend, and his scoring exploits have not gone unnoticed back in his homeland.

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani has admitted he has a ‘passion’ for the explosive hitman, and suggested the ex-Inter forward could form a formidable partnership for the Rossoneri with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
‘Balotelli is my passion, he's a great player,’ Galliani told Sky Italia.

‘Take him to Milan? Who knows, for now it remains a passion.’

‘Ibrahimovic? He's fine and will remain until the end of his contract. Ibra and Balotelli will compensate each other, they would be good together.’

Balotelli is a self-confessed AC Milan fan, and has never hidden his desire to one day play for the Italian giants.

However, his rich vein of form, coupled with the fact he’s recently admitted he’s started to settle in the Manchester area, means it could be some time before Galliani gets a chance to land his man.

Pasca Laga Lawan Roma, Cassano Masuk Rumah Sakit

Attacante AC Milan, Antonio Cassano mengaku dirinya mengeluh sakit dan tidak bisa menggerakkan anggota tubuhnya pasca laga menghadapi mantan klubnya AS Roma pada giornata ke-10 dalam lanjutan kompetisi Serie-A kemarin. Setelah laga yang dimenangkan Milan 2-3 itu bomber timnas Italia itu ahirnya segera dilarikan ke rumah sakit.

Belum jelas mengenai penyakit yang di derita pemain nomer 99 tersebut, namun dalam laman resminya Milan mengkonfirmasi pernyataan tentang kondisi sang pemain.

"AC Milan mengumumkan, Antonio Cassano jatuh sakit setelah tim tiba di Bandara Malpensa (Milan) dari Roma. Sang pemain kini berada di Rumah Sakit Policlinico, Milan, untuk menjalani pemeriksaan," demikian pengumuman yang dikeluarkan Milan.

Tadinya Cassano sudah ingin kembali ke rumah ketika tiba di Milan bersama rombongan tim, tetapi tekadnya itu dimentahkan tim dokter, Rodolfo Tavana, yang merujuknya ke rumah sakit.

"Anak itu berada dalam kondisi yang kurang baik dan kami pun berniat untuk mencari tahunya," ungkap Tavana. Dengan demikian saya tidak akan memberikan garansi kepadanya untuk tampil di Minsk dan mungkin harus beristirahat dari aktifitas lapangan hijau selama beberapa hari."

Dengan kondisinya sekarang ini kemungkinan besar Cassano tak bisa memperkuat Mikan saat melakoni laga away ke BATE Borisov dalam lanjutan Liga Champions, tengah pekan ini. Milan kemungkinan akan menampilkan duet Zlatan Ibrahimovic dan Robinho di lini depan. Robinho sendiri tampil sejak menit pertama saat Milan menaklukkan AS Roma, akhir pekan lalu. Selain itu Milan juga menghadapi masalah lain. Clarence Seedorf dan Kevin Prince Boateng juga diragukan kebugarannya. (bp/football-italia/socc)

AC Milan’s Antonio Cassano To Have Heart Surgery

San Siro hero to undergo operation.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/PA-10475552.jpg

Ac Milan striker Antonio Cassano will have “minor” heart surgery that will keep him out for two months.

The 29-year-old underwent tests at the Policlinico facility on Saturday after what was iniatially feared as a brain problem.

The Italy international was reportedly joking with teammates on the plane, following Milan’s 3-2 win over Roma, before suddenly developing problems with his vision, speech and movement.

The Serie A champions said Cassano will undergo the heart procedure sometime in the next few days, and that his recovery time will be better determined after the surgery.

“Cassano has a cardiac anomaly which caused a brain problem due to impaired blood flow,” the club said.

Cassano’s hospitalization came less than a week after team-mate Gennaro Gattuso announced a nerve problem affecting his left eye, which could keep him out for months, or the rest of the season.

Milan has also been without forward Alexandre Pato due to a thigh injury, leaving Ibrahimovic and Robinho as the club’s only two healthy strikers.

Combined with knee surgery for Giuseppe Rossi last week, Cassano’s condition leaves Italy without its two starting forwards as it prepares for the Euro 2012 Championships.

Cassano already missed the 1-1 draw with BATE Borisov on Tuesday that qualified Milan for the next round of the Champions League.

After Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored, midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng celebrated by lifting his jersey to reveal another jersey with Cassano’s name and No. 99 on it

Robinho Mau Terus Bela Milan

MILAN, KOMPAS.com — Penyerang Robinho (27) mengaku bahagia dan ingin bertahan lama di AC Milan.

"Aku senang menjadi pemain penting untuk AC Milan. Aku sangat bahagia di sini. Pelatih Massimiliano Allegri tahu bagaimana membuatku mengeluarkan kemampuan terbaik dan kami bermain untuk mencetak gol sebanyak mungkin. Aku ingin tetap di sini pada sepuluh tahun mendatang," ujar Robinho.

Robinho direkrut Milan dari Manchester City pada 2010 dan terikat kontrak sampai 2014. Pada musim pertamanya di Milan, ia bermain sebanyak 34 kali, dengan delapan di antaranya sebagai pengganti, serta mencetak 14 gol dan tiga assist.

AC Milan agree Tevez terms as striker closes in on Man City exit

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/carlostevezrain20110921_275x155.jpg

AC Milan are favourites to land Carlos Tevez in January after agreeing personal terms with the player, according to reports in Italy.

The Argentine has not played for Manchester City since September and is back in his homeland as his relationship with manager Roberto Mancini has seemingly broken down beyond repair.

That has alerted some of the top clubs around Europe, and the Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed Tevez's advisor, Kia Joorabchian, has agreed the deal with AC Milan.

The contract would see Tevez earn £3m in a six-month deal that would then be re-assessed in June, with another two-years on offer for the 27-year-old.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic reminds you that he thinks he’s the best

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zlatan_ibrahimovic_reminds_you_that_he_thinks_hes_ the_best.jpg

Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi and Lionel Messi were the trio shortlisted for the 2011 Ballon d'Or. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not. But if you think Zlatan needs your silly awards (or any kind of outside recognition whatsoever) to think he's the greatest, you are sadly mistaken.

Said Ibra (via Soccernet):

"In my head I am the strongest of all. I certainly don't need the Ballon d'Or to prove that I am number one."

In fact, he doesn't even need to play football to prove that he's number one. Zlatan could comment on YouTube videos all day and he would still think he was the best and strongest footballer in the world.

Other things that are true in Ibra's head: kicking people is a reasonable way to show affection, putting your hair in a ponytail will give you x-ray vision and Pep Guardiola smells like a pile a "Pep Guardiola," which is an acceptable term for vomit that's been eaten by a dog and then vomited back up.

Bocah 6 Tahun Ciptakan Lagu Untuk Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Bola.net - Zlatan Ibrahimovic baru-baru ini dipuji oleh media Italia dengan sanjungan Ibra Tuttofare. atau jika diterjemahkan secara harfiah dalam bahasa kita adalah "Ibra bisa melakukan segalanya".

His own style has made him rich, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Kevin-Prince Boateng’s girlfriend blames his injury on too much sex

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/sattaprince.jpg

Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng suffered a thigh injury during last weekend's 1-0 loss to Inter. But according to his SI bodypaint model girlfriend, it wasn't the football that hurt him, it was all the sex they have.

Claims SuperSport:

Melissa Satta, who Kevin-Prince has been dating for a while, described their sex life and attributed that to his niggles. Melissa Satta said: "The reason why he is always injured is because we have sex 7-10 times a week"

AC Milan have not commented on the matter, but they did issue a statement to validate his injury. [...]

A statement from the Rossoneri read: "Boateng has sustained a muscular lesion in his left thigh and the estimated time of recovery is around four weeks, unless there are complications."

Though scientists have repeatedly stated that sex before athletic competition is not bad, Ms. Satta may have just proven them wrong. Or she just really wanted an excuse to tell everyone how much sex they have. If that is what's causing Boateng's injuries, then I'm sure he doesn't mind, since not being able to play only means he has more time to increase his injury risk.

Andre Dias Punches Mark Van Bommel In His Temple, Goes Completely Unpunished

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/VANBOMMEL.png

It’s not often you find yourself left in the unenviable position of having to sympathise with Mark van Bommel, but during AC Milan’s 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Lazio last night one such instance occurred.

With Lazio 2-1 down and defending a late corner, Brazilian centre-back Dias took an almighty swing at Van Bommel’s temples and caught the Milan midfielder with a cowardly blow to the side of the head that left him sprawled on the turf for a couple of minutes.

Unfortunately for the Dutchman, both officials missed the assault and, rather than a penalty and a straight red, Dias was free to scamper off without any punishment whatsoever…

ptCpJs4bzhg

Of course, it’s hard to feel sorry for Van Bommel given his entire career to date, but at least his thuggery and gamesmanship usually has a gossamer-thin footballing pretence. What Dias did was just vicious, pure and simple.

AC Milan Supports Zlatan Ibrahimovic Following Hit-and-Run Incident

AC Milan superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic is receiving support from his team after a reported hit-and-run accident outside of the training ground on Tuesday.

The Swedish striker allegedly struck a woman with his mirror before driving away, according to Football Italia. Milan has stated that Ibrahimovic shouldn't be held responsible for the incident, however, despite failing to address it right away.

28ny3f6-Uao

It's tough to make a definitive judgment based on the above video because the woman appears to reach out toward the car before getting struck. It's also curious that she, along with several other people, are standing in the middle of a street as players are leaving.

There's no way to know if Ibrahimovic, who had a goal and two assists in the Rossoneri's destruction of Arsenal last week, even knew he made contact with the woman. The report states he could be questioned by police because he didn't stop.

Either way, the team is smart to immediately come to his defense. They can't afford any unnecessary drama with the season at such a critical juncture.

To go along with a tight Serie A title chase with Juventus, Milan appears destined to make the final eight of the Champions League. The Rossoneri are also in the Coppa Italia semifinals, so it's clear they need Ibrahimovic focused on football, not this incident.

It's also a learning experience for the team. There's no reason a horde of people should be crowding the streets for an accident like this to even become an issue. Milan needs to do whatever it takes to make sure something similar doesn't happen again.

All told, it's tough to imagine Ibrahimovic facing any serious penalty. Without evidence suggesting he did it on purpose or even understood what happened, it's tough for somebody standing in his way to complain about getting struck. There's no right of way given to jaywalkers.

Milan did the right thing to support its biggest star, and now the Rossoneri just have to hope it all blows over by the time they get back to action for a major clash against Juventus on Saturday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic starts a chain reaction that results in a season-ending injury

iQ51mmnI87E

As we have already established, being a teammate of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's can be very painful no matter if it's club or country. But even when Zlatan isn't actively trying to thwack his teammates, he still does. In fact, he seems to be even more dangerous that way.

During a Sweden training session ahead of their friendly against Croatia, Zlatan made easy work of midfielder Anders Svensson with a shoulder check, sending Svensson tumbling to the ground and right onto Celtic defender Daniel Majstorovic's leg.

According to Celtic's official website, the impact ruptured the cruciate ligament in Majstorovic's left knee. That will keep him out of the rest of the season and Euro 2012 this summer.

Allegri: Ibrahimovic is on par with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

The 44-year-old stated that the big Swede is among the world's three best players at the moment, and took time to praise his team and the board who helped put the side together

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/zlatan-ibrahimovic-007.jpg

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is of the opinion that Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the same level as Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaking at the press conference ahead of the second-leg clash with Arsenal in the round of 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday, the trainer praised the striker and warned against complacency, following the 4-0 win over the Gunners at San Siro in the first game.

"Tomorrow may seem like an easy game, but only in appearance. In reality it is not. We must have great concentration, we must not underestimate the game.

"We have a great opportunity to reach the quarter-finals and we will do everything we can to get there.

"Ibrahimovic? Hopefully he will win the Ballon d'Or, although much will depend on the results that we achieve this year.

"Along with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the three of them are at this moment the best players in the world."

Allegri reserved special praise for the management of the club, stating that the excellent results in the transfer market have been the catalyst behind AC Milan's success.

"In any case this is not Ibrahimovic or Allegri's Milan, Milan has been built by the club that in a year and half have brought in Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Boateng, 20 players in total.

"And in this year and a half, thanks to this, we have won the Scudetto, the Italian Super Cup and now we are fighting on all three fronts."

AC Milan target Chelsea star

AC Milan want to benefit from Chelsea’s managerial disarray by signing Ashley Cole.

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/ashley-cole-chelsea.jpg

The Stamford Bridge side have parted company with Andre Villas-Boas and installed Roberto Di Matteo as an interim boss until the end of the season.

That instability has alerted the Serie A leaders, who are on the cusp of knocking Cole’s former club Arsenal out of the Champions League, and they are preparing a bid for the England left-back.

Italian TV station Mediaset claims Cole is a £10m target for the San Siro club and they are hopeful of completing a deal in the summer.

Cole, 31, is out of contract at the end of next season and is yet to receive an offer of a new deal from the west London side.

Mexes: Ibrahimovic interested in Paris Saint-Germain project

The France international has claimed that the Ligue 1 outfit have made top players throughout Europe sit up and take notice with their spending spree over the past year

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/587892-zlatan-ibrahimovic.jpg

Philippe Mexes has claimed that a number of "great names" are interested in joining Paris Saint-Germain, including his AC Milan team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Ligue 1 outfit's ambitious Qatari owners have spent heavily since arriving in the French capital and are expected to make more high-profile signings in the summer.

Mexes has little doubt that PSG are capable of attracting world-class talent to the Parc des Princes, admitting that they are currently the talk of Europe.

"There are plenty of players who would be interested in playing for PSG, even great names," the former Auxerre defender told RMC.

"Even Zlatan told me that if he was to leave Milan one day and was approached by PSG, he would think twice. Even, me, I wouldn't say no to it in the future."

Turning his attention to more pressing matters, Mexes confessed that he would like to avoid the big guns in Friday's draw for the Champions League quarter-finals, admitting that he would have no issue with the Rossoneri being paired with Marseille.

"We have some preferences for the draw," he revealed. "If it is possible to avoid Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, that would be nice.

"I wont lie to you: Marseille would be a good draw. I'm not saying it would be easy, but to go further on the competition, well, it would be the best.

"However, Marseille is a good team, which has defeated many fierce adversaries."

Meanwhile, Mexes has expressed his sorrow over the news that Eric Abid likely to sit out Euro 2012 because of his need for a liver transplant.

It has not yet been confirmed how long the Barcelona defender will be out of action for but RMC is reporting that the 32-year-old will play no part in his country's summer campaign in Poland and Ukraine.

Mexes acknowledges that losing Abidal for the Euros would be a blow for the national team's morale, but he points out that the most important thing is that his team-mate makes a full recovery.

"I'm really sad [that Abidal is unlikely to travel] but, on the other hand, there are more serious things in life than football," the former Roma man told the French radio station.

"If he doesn't play Euro 2012, it would be really bad for us. But we think about him first.

"He is more than an asset: his experience; what he brings to the team; his mentality. We're losing a great player. I wasn't expecting it. It strikes our morale."

France have been drawn in the same group as England, Ukraine and Sweden for Euro 2012.

AC Milan to make Thiago Silva captain to stave off interest from Barcelona

The Blaugrana allegedly tried to sign the Brazil international last summer and will launch another bid for the 27-year-old centre-half at the end of the current campaign

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/173632hp2.jpg

Goal.com has learned that AC Milan have already rejected an offer from Barcelona for Thiago Silva and now plan to make the defender club captain in order to persuade him to remain at San Siro.

The two teams have been drawn against each other in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, but the centre-half has been ruled out of both legs after picking up an injury against Roma last week.

The Brazil international arrived at the Giuseppe Meazza from Fluminense in 2009 and has gone on to establish himself as one of the finest centre-backs in the world.

Barca have been repeatedly linked with a summer swoop for the 27-year-old, who recently offered contradictory views on the Catalans' alleged interest in his services, admitting on one hand that it is every player's dream to play for the reigning world, European and Spanish champions, while at the same time expressing his desire to remain at Milan for years to come.

Goal.com understands that Barca, who made an approach to Thiago Silva last summer, have already had at least one bid rejected by the Rossoneri but are willing to pay whatever it takes to acquire the Brazilian.

However, Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has made it clear to the Blaugrana that he has no intention of selling a player considered even more important to the club than talismanic forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic on account that the Selecao regular is three years younger than the Swede.

Indeed, the Rossoneri now plan to play to Thiago Silva's previously stated desire to become a Milan legend by offering him the captain's armband in the summer.

From the Italian champions' perspective, the timing is perfect as current skipper Massimo Ambrosini is out of contract at the end of the season and veteran centre-back Alessandro Nesta is expected to be a part of a summer exodus from San Siro which will also see Clarence Seedorf and Filippo Inzaghi leave the club.

In addition, Galliani is also acutely aware of the difficulty Milan would have in acquiring an adequate replacement if Thiago Silva was allowed to join Barcelona.

The 67-year-old Monza native is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past, with the club having sold Kaka to Real Madrid in 2009 for a fee of €65 million only to then discover to their cost that they have been unable to find another trequartista of a similar standing.

Milan had hoped to build their attack around another Brazilian, the 22-year-old Alexandre Pato, but the forward has been plagued by thigh injuries in recent seasons and on Monday the forward was flown to the United States to meet with Professor Frederick Carrick in the increasingly desperate hope that the renowned specialist will be able to solve the player's persistent muscular problems.

As a result, Milan now plan to cash in on the striker during the summer in order to raise funds for a spending spree which they hope will further convince Thiago Silva that his future lies at San Siro.

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri will be given a boost ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash against Barcelona as attacker Alexandre Pato is set to resume squad training on Sunday, milannews.it reports.

The Brazil international is continually being plagued by muscular injuries and recently travelled to the United States to undergo a number of tests to find out the cause of his physical problems.

Milan health coordinator Jean Pierre Meersseman was encouraged by the results of the preliminary tests carried out on Pato, and the 22-year-old forward will now return to Italy on Saturday.

Pato is consequently expected to resume training with the rest of his team-mates on Sunday, and could even be included in the match squad for the Champions League clash against Barcelona on Tuesday.

Milan held the Catalans to a goalless stalemate in the first leg at San Siro earlier this week, and will need at least a score draw to progress to the semi-finals.

Pato has made just 11 appearances in Serie A so far this season due to his injury woes.

Cassano given green light to return

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/antoniocassanoacmilan_275x155.jpg

AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano, who underwent heart surgery last year, has been given the all-clear to resume his playing career by a panel of medical experts.

Cassano, 29, has been out of action since being hospitalised with a small cardiac malformation following Milan's 3-2 victory at Roma in October, 2011.

On Tuesday, the Institute of Sports Medicine in Milan rubber-stamped his right to return after a ten-man medical commission gathered by the Italian Sports Medicine Federation judged Cassano's condition to be "favourable" on Monday.

"Cassano can immediately and legally line up with the team again," Serie A champions Milan confirmed in a statement.

Cassano had hit one of the best spells of form in his career before falling ill on the plane back from the match in Rome and has been eager to get back to action.

He resumed training on his own in January and with his team-mates last Thursday but will face a tough battle to win his place back in the Italy squad in time for Euro 2012.

Muriel: Milan clubs have made bids

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/luismuriel201204010_275x155.jpg

Udinese forward Luis Muriel has revealed that he is the subject of bids from both AC Milan and Inter, but has not made up his mind over his future.

Muriel, 20, is currently on loan at Lecce and has been tipped for a bright future in the game after some impressive performances, with Arsenal also believed to be in the race for his signature.

However, the two Italian clubs have moved quickly to get to the front of the queue and have already registered their interest.

"My agent has made it known to me that AC Milan and Inter have made official offers for me, the only thing I know is that I will return to Udinese at the end of the season," Muriel told RCN Mundo. "There are some offers though, so we'll see what happens."

Dubbed the 'Colombian Cristiano Ronaldo', Muriel has yet to make his official debut for Udinese but has bagged seven goals in 23 games for Lecce this season.

Milan to sign Lopez permanently?

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/maxilopezmilancelebmarch2012_275x155.jpg

AC Milan will sign Maxi Lopez on a permanent deal this summer, according to the player's agent.

Milan have the opportunity to make the 28-year-old's stay at the San Siro permanent at the end of the season after he initially joined on loan from Catania in January, and the player's agent, Andrea D'Amico, is confident the Italian champions will exercise that option .

"He will remain at Milan,'' D'Amico said to www.calciomercato.it. "Maxi has proved in the limited minutes he has had on the pitch and in training, to be a great champion.

"He is strong, he has class, speed and executes well, something which is not easy to find.''

Lopez has scored one goal in seven league appearances for Milan so far.

Stripper Claims Silvio Berlusconi Paid Her €2,000 To Wear AC Milan Shirt And Ronaldinho Mask

http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv189/zudomiriku/zudo%20II/zudo%20III/Silvio-Berlusconi.jpg

Former Italian Prime Minister and current AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi is on trial at the moment in his homeland for allegedly setting up base camp in the nether regions of an underage Moroccan prostitute by the name of ‘Ruby The Heart-Stealer.’

Feel free to read that one again. It’s a doozy.

Anyway, a fair few sordid details of Berlusconi’s infamous ‘Bunga Bunga’ parties have been divulged during the trial, none more distressing than the testimony of Brazilian model/stripper Imane Fadil, who told the court that she was paid €2,000 (£1,650) to attend one of the 75-year old’s shindigs – with the iguana-faced lothario whispering ”don’t be offended,” in her ear as he gave her the cash.

Lovely imagery.

Fadil spoke of seeing two women dressed as nuns that very same night, wearing ‘black tunics, white veils and crosses,’ but wait! It gets worse! Far worse in fact.

Fadil also claimed that Berlusconi asked her to wear an AC Milan shirt and a rubber Ronaldinho mask while she stripped to her underwear for him.

Capello Tak Mau Latih Milan

http://assets.kompas.com/data/photo/2012/01/25/0347398620X310.jpg

MILAN, KOMPAS.com — Mantan Manajer Tim Nasional Inggris, Fabio Capello, menyatakan tak akan menjadi pelatih AC Milan yang baru. Namun, ia menyatakan tak menolak disebut tertarik untuk melatih sebuah klub.

Beberapa laporan di media Italia menyatakan bahwa Milan berencana melengserkan Massimiliano Allegri musim depan jika akhirnya tak mampu mempersembahkan gelar juara Serie-A. Capello yang saat ini tengah menganggur disebut-sebut sebagai kandidat kuat pengganti Allegri. Isu ini muncul setelah Capello kedapatan menyaksikan langsung pertandingan Milan di San Siro, pertengahan pekan ini.

"Saya mendengar banyak cerita soal saya bergabung dengan Milan, tetapi itu tidak benar. Saya belum melakukan kontak apa pun dengan mereka," ujar Capello.

"Saya punya rasa hormat untuk Milan dan untuk semua yang saya lakukan bersama mereka, tetapi hanya itu. Saya berada di San Siro untuk menemani cucu saya. Mereka fans Milan, dan mereka belum pernah berkunjung ke San Siro," lanjutnya.

Ia menambahkan, "Saya ingin menjadi pelatih untuk dua tahun ke depan, tapi bukan untuk tim nasional. Saya ingin klub. Saya hanya akan melatih di Italia, jika ada tawaran yang menarik."
