The match between Juventus and Milan presented a classic show at the Olimpico Stadium. With the convincing score of 4-2, Juventus won the battle to keep challenging Inter Milan, but the Scudetto dream seems to be a castle in the air for Milan.
Juventus nearly repeated the great drama 11 years ago when they beat Milan with 6-1 at San Siro, if Del Piero and Iaquintahad had more luck. However, the story was the same, Milan had to accept the result with humility. 11 years ago, the failure made former Captain Baresi retire at the age of 37; two years later, Milan won the Champion again. Put it in a simple way, the rebuilt of that Milan only needed focus on the defenders. But look at current Rosseneri, Captain Maldini is still going strong at the San Siro and he’s 40; ironically, he did much better than his teammates in the match. Shevchenko left his skills and confidence at Stamford Bridge, Emerson did bring nothing to Milan, Seedorf was lazy as usual. Not to mention Nesta, who has disappeared half a year. Maybe the only exception is Filippo Inzaghi, who always find motivation to score, but he is already 35 years old.
Sometimes I just comfort myself, look at Pippo, age is not the problem. But when you followed their performances year after year, you have to admit that, if no changes happen, there will be much more disasters in the following years. Slow, lazy, arrogance, and what else? Pato and Antonini are the only potential players in the current Milan, Kaka and Flamini could be trusted to some extent. Except from them, there is only one name could be added, Paloschi, but he is suffering in Parma due to the return of Shevchenko, who knows he would be whose victim next. How could you image Milan two years later?
The disappointment with the club is rather than the result. The lost is not dangerous, but Milan really need let their heads down, and forget they were champions, not only the players, but also the managerial level. The vast majority of the Rosserneri will not improve, but deteriorate, where is the future?
