Hey guys, surprise, surprise, Leonardo decides to start the attack with Ronaldinho, Borriello, and Pato.  The formation looks more like the most experienced including Nesta and Zambrotta. wow, there is also Andrea Pirlo and the rumors of his transfer to Chelsea continues after Ancelotti made his "blurt" during the press conference in Los Angeles that Pirlo was a Chelsea player than he retracted saying it was a joke.

I am ready waving my AC Milan flag.. are you???   Come on Milan!!!!

Wow, guys, first save by AC Milan goalkeeper Kalac in the 2nd minute when Chelsea shoots from long range!!!!  Chelsea is pressing since the first minute. Now, it's up to AC Milan to counterattack and not be passive.  This is a match to play with speed!!!

In the19th minute, it is a super shot by our Sleepy Prince Andrea Pirlo and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech makes a gymnastic stretch to save with his right foot!!! He almost made a split!!!!   In the rebound Ronaldinho tries the chilena, la bicicleta and Chelsea clears too.  Hey, forza, I like seeing Milan like this, playing more aggressive.  Forza Ragazzziiiii
