Covering the 2009 - 2010 UEFA Champions League from an Italian Perspective
Italian Soccer Serie A  supports the 3 Serie A clubs participating: Fiorentina, FC Inter and AC Milan


Here is AC Milan training schedule from March 6 to March 10 preparing for the Second Leg of the UEFA Champions League against Manchester United on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at Old Trafford Stadium.  I was watching the report on RAI SPORTS and feel optimistic watching the training of AC Milan including Seedorf.  Pato is among the called up, but is not fully recovered. Yet, Leo wanted to give it a try and he is traveling to face Manchester. Most likely, Pato will be a super sub.  Leo might start this time with David Beckham  and Clarence Seedorf in the starting line up based on training...

- AC Milan training at the Milanello sporting center - Centro Sportivo Milanello
The Rossoneri  players meeting in the dressing rooms at 11.00 to start training at 11.30.

Training included Technical - tactical drills with the ball. Warm up, ball possession. Drills attack vs defense. Practice match game.  At the end of the game, some players remained to practice shoots on goal.  Good news with midfielder Clarence Seedorf completing the entire training after recovering from injury.  Guys, remember that Wayne Rooney before the first leg match said that one of the players he feared the most is Clarence Seedorf. I am hoping Leonardo to include Seedorf in the starting line up and not as a  substitute as he did in the first round. Come on Seedorf. Milan need experienced players in this type of competitions who also know the opponents well. 

Training completed around 13:00.
