ROMA-MILAN: L'ABBRACCIO TRA ANCELOTTI E SPALLETTI


I love this photo before the match a warm hug between AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti and Roma coach Luciano Spalletti. 

Guys, what a match, this will be an agonizig 90 minutes match!  Imagine that before the match Spalletti jokingly asked Ancelotti if he was ready to take his bench.. LOL all because of the rumors that Ancelotti was going to be sometime the coach of Roma.  Oh no way jose.. I want Ancelotti in MILAN where he belogns. What do you think?

Guys, it is also the debut in the Italian Serie A from AC Milan midfielder David Beckham!!!!!

Wow, guys, Beckham and AS Roma forward Julio Baptista embraced before the match.  They played together in Real Madrid and now they are in opposite teams.  I am SO NERVOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs   HELP, HELP,  dear Lord help my Milan win this match.

Well done for Beckham!  Leaving the field among whistles from Roma fans but applauses for Milan fans.

Well guys, this is it!!!!   Referee whistles the end of the match and I love how players from both teams greet one another without confrontation... it was a good match, both tried and did their best... Am I disappointed?  OF COURSE I AM because Milan lost the chance to shorten the distance with Inter....  yet, I am not that devastated with the result because better a point in an away match then returning home empty handed.... though.. .helllo.... am I kidding myself??? YES....   Milan should have won this match taking advantage of Inter drawing with Cagliari.
