United Arab Emirates 0 - 2 AC Milan "Gilardino Scored 2 goals!!"
By Anna Italia
As usual, AC Milan winning in the international level. Great way to start the New Year! A superb performance from forward Alberto Gilardino taking Milan by the hand to victory as a preamble to the Eighteenth Round Serie A match against Napoli. This is a great outcome.
The first goal came in the 75th minute after a cross from Brocchi and the second in the 85th minute after an assist from defender Daniele Bonera. A positive performance from goalkeeper Nelson Dida who only had to stop one shot for goal from Darwish Ahmed during the first time.
On the second half, goalkeeper Kalac also made a good role defending Milan's victory when blocking two opportunities of goal from United Arab Emirates.
Despite KAKA suffering a minor shoulder injury after clashing with Yoann Gourcuff during yesterday training, Ancelotti included him today and he did well.
However, it is not sure whether the Musica and Magia Boy KAKA will play against Napoli this Sunday. It will be a big test for Milan to face Napoli without Super KAKA. Supposedly, Ancelotti was going to have the "Brazilian tridenti" with Kaka, PATO, and Ronaldo for the match. Pato promised at least one goal against Napoli if he makes his debut. Question will be how will Ronaldo do?

You better believe it Pietro. It was a relief and a great start for Milan. I am more concerned about Milan's matches in the Serie A than international at this point. How about you?

I saw the whole game and I saw that the first half the ball was more with Milan and in 2nd half the % got lower but they still won, i thought Milan play better with Kaka somehow though 11 players played in the start and different 11 played in the 2nd. but the bad thing Milan made a lot of fouls I hated that soo much specially Gattuso as usual. over all it was a good game though I expected more than 2-0

Milan99 I was expecting more goals too. Gattuso made unnecessary fouls but I am not mad. Like you said, in the overall , it was a good match. Milan won, unlike Inter that lost the Dubai Cup. Don't you think?

Totally Anna Inter SUCKS at International level and they need to get better at that. And I agree I wasn't mad a Gattuso either though I thought he could have avoid making those fouls. Any way Milan are better than Inter ALWAYS!!!

By the way people have you heard that Pato says he will score two goals against Napoli I'm afraid its overconfidence
Reply to this
I agree. I think PATO is being way too over confident. I hope he lives up to his word. It will be a disaster if he does not score. He should be quiet and just say that he will give his best. Don't you think?

Totally agree with you but Pato have this hope and come on it really made me happy to hear that you know I'm expecting A LOT from him and he needs to prove a lot yes he is young and unexperienced but he COULD DO SOMETHING!!!
