The Ancelotti Thread

[DYC. 7,542]

Where was Rui Costa in 06?

All of them bar Kaka are oldies.. In 06 Milan had a crisis. Sheva and Crespo weren't there in 06 if I'm right..

Just say that Inter are world class too..

What are you talking about? OllieCFC said CA was at Milan, as in his eight years at Milan, during their golden era and you're talking about a single year?

And Milan had a crisis in 06 yet they won the CL in '07?

[BLionheart 516]

What tonight brought back memories of was the first leg if the Inter vs Chelsea tie from last years Cahmpions League, we looked fairly toothless offensively and got caught out badly defensively.

at least against inter we were able to blame the fact that the real special one on the other end was very familiar with our football and knew how to play against chelsea , also they had some great players like cesar , lucio , milito , eto , snieder ,maicon

but a team made of shrek , vidic and vandersar isn't supposed to beat us !

Milan had a golden era in the last decade? Strange..

They never invested in their team proprely..

I think that many Milan fans said that they had a crisis with strikers in 06..Only one was fit or something like that..Maybe I'm wrong.

He managed AC Milan from 2001-2009. AC Milan were a fucking top team then with great players. Fuck 2006, fuck now, fuck next year whatever..... AC Milan between 2001 - 2009 were a dominant world powerhouse of a team and they would've been regardless of who was in charge.

Maldini, Nesta, Pirlo, Costacurta to name more.

Are you serious?

They had the likes of Dida (back when he was world-class), Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Rui Costa, Shevchenko, Pato, Inzaghi in their team (through the years). Wouldn't you call that team world-class?

I think that many Milan fans said that they had a crisis with strikers in 06..Only one was fit or something like that..Maybe I'm wrong.

You're confusing me right now. Why do you keep hammering on that 06 year?

What I do know is that in the 06/07 season they mostly played with one striker (Inzaghi) and Kaka played the supporting striker role and they won the CL that season. After that, their team started to decline. But he was the manager of a team that was without a doubt world-class for 6 years (2001-2007), you could argue about the quality of the team in two following years.

CA had a team filled with world-class players in his eight years at Milan (except for his last year)

Ever heard of Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Crespo, Pato, Kaka, Rui Costa and Seedorf?

In 2003 CL final he left Rivaldo on the bench...that Milan team was stellar. Miles better than any of Chelseas squads in Roman's years.

Maldini was a shadow of himself in his last couple of years.

Those names.. It's the same as if I wrote.. He had Lampard, Drogba, Malouda and Anelka in his time.. It is clear that Lampard and Drogba aren't playing their best now..but they are fameous names.

They have (had) some grat players but as a squad Milan weren't good..Those players were injured too, weren't they?

Agree.

And how could I forget about Rivaldo, he also had Cafu (one the best right-backs ever).

Eldo, you realise that You are bullshiting. Milan had a great team in the first half of the decade and Carlo managed to win only one scudetto.

In 2007 they had Kaká, who was only the best player in the world at that moment. So find another arguments to support the italian.

Agree.

And how could I forget about Rivaldo, he also had Cafu (one the best right-backs ever).

That squad was fucking good. Even the 2005 team was terrific.

I give up. Your arguments make it clear you never watched those teams he had in that 2001-2007 period because no one can deny the class of those teams he had, if you do, you possess no football knowledge at all.

And about Maldini, he was still absolute class until the year 2005 or 2006.

[DYC. 7,542]

Yeah I remember that team. Kaka started to become a international football star, they had the great Jaap Stam at the back..

Miss those times, there were a lot more topteams back then. Top football started to decline around that time.

Silvio never let Carlo make an outstanding team.. You guys sait that they had a golden team.. Bunch of players in their mid 30s isn't an outstanding team..

[DYC. 7,542]

Bunch of players in their mid 30s isn't an outstanding team..

Sigh, football didn't start in 2007..

Example:

This is the team that faced Juventus in the CL final in 2003

MILAN:

GK 12 Dida RB 19 Alessandro Costacurta CB 13 Alessandro Nesta CB 3 Paolo Maldini (c) LB 4 Kakha Kaladze CM 8 Gennaro Gattuso CM 21 Andrea Pirlo CM 20 Clarence Seedorf AM 10 Rui Costa CF 7 Andriy Shevchenko CF 9 Filippo Inzaghi

Only two players in that team were in their mid-thirties and those players were Costacurta and Maldini.

But I will stop replying from now on since you clearly don't know what you're talking about, think whatever you want.

LMAO...Eldo is a really funny guy. Discussing with him is proving to be useless. I also give up on this. He posses no football knowledge at all, lol.

[neel 257]

Diamond of Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso and Rui Costa was the one of the best thing that was happened in football in the last decade.

[neel 257]

But discounting the contribution of Carlo at Milan does not make any sense to me. He nurtured Kaka and Pirlo and made them world class player. same is true for Pato

[Kostas 1,468]

Took you two long enough.

[eldo 868]

So I won't continue if you two gave up..

Check your knowledge..

[spuz 143]

All I will say,like i've said before. You can't hire a manager just because he's a champions league manager. It's a cup competition where anything can happen.

[EskWeston 696]

This club needs to have some stability and binning Carlo is not going to help in that. However you do have to ask the question, given the summer and another chance to bring in and ship out players can Carlo turn it around and get us playing again. If the answer is no to that then we might as well let him go. It is a difficult situation, the way we are playing this season is really poor, we struggle to put passes together, we never press the opposition and give them lots of space and we cannot create and convert enough chances.
