Serie A award 2012/2013 : Balotelli won the Best Striker and Mattia DeSciglio won the Best Left Back (He should have won both RB & LB...lulz)
Transfer News :
QUOTE
AC Milan News @Milanello 3h Galliani called @MrAncelotti a few hours before #CagliariMilan to ask him for Coentrão, but Ancelotti doesn't want to release the player
So if Milan bring Coentrao next season,then mostly Abate will leave the club for PSG because Coentrao will play on LB and De Sciglio will move back to RB.
Honda last 2 minutes played in injury time are disaster, but before that he play what he should play to, all up to his teammate, Honda have made few good chance but Pazzini failed it... i have watch Pazzini play at Inter before, he already not as good as he play for Sampdoria.
Yeah to be fair he just came back from International duty & played full time both Japan & recent match.
For me he still struggle to adapt with Italian football,so might take the whole season for him before he started terrorizing the defence.
Btw there is a rumours of Man Utd keen to sign Mexes.....how about a deal of swapping Mexes - Kagawa?
I would love to see both star rated Japanese attacking midfielder played together....might boost confidence of each other.
Gazzetta's interview with Maldini. Looks like Maldini is boiling in his head right now. Someone need to leave the club and someone need to sell the club if he cant afford to invest anymore.

Q1) Did you see the match on Sunday?
"Yes, even the match Vs Atletico and almost all games in the last 2 years. Inside me there is a mixture of anger and disappointment, not so much because of the results, but because of the impression that this team has thrown away what has been built with effort over the past 10 years. This makes me feel sad. Milan have had the good fortune of winning many trophies and players that stood together as a team at same time, I know how much work there was behind the many triumphs, and what it took to build that beautiful story. To see all this destroyed makes me mad."
Q2) When do you think the problem started?
"Since the day that many players with winning mentality left, I believe that success is first of all dependent on men. At Milan we had many of those in last 25 years, but how many work at the club? Not many.. Filippo Galli, head of the youth sector and then Tassotti who i feel may leave at the end of the season, which is another damage... I hope it's not true. Bayern and Real are examples in this case for players working at their clubs. Juve understood that and have restructured picking up a solid group of Italians who knows how to reach success."
Q3) This sounds like a discourse.
"I know but my views aren't personal discourse; Some might think that I'm spitting in the dish that I've eaten from, but it's not the case. I suffer seeing Milan under those conditions, I have 2 children who play in the youth sector, one of which is on loan to Brescia and I still feel as part of this club"
Q4) Barbara and the fans have pointed out that the team is spending badly, is that correct?
"The club should declare to have other objectives they can't compete with Juve or top 10 in Europe. There's no project at all they just look at today and not at the future, you have to buy players that can function in your plans not only take free players, you can have some good free players but that doesn't always happen.. The problem is structural."
Q5) Please Explain better.
"Galliani is a great manager, but he doesn't understand the players everything is on him in the club and that's impossible to think of, he doesn't have to do everything.. There must be knowledge in each sector.. Braida in recent years has had a marginal role, Leonardo before him understood if this player or that are suitable for Milan or not. I remember when Leonardo wanted me at any cost as a sporting director.. Galliani said that it's a position that doesn't exist anymore at Milan. It's not true you should be surrounded with people that are capable to lower the errors that you'd do a lone. For example if a coach tells you that Pirlo is expired and we don't need him anymore, there should be someone in the club that understands and replies that Pirlo is the heritage of the club must remain. So maybe we wouldn't have done any favor to Juve. Another things is Milan can't afford to work without a network of scouts/observers and before signing any player you need to know if he'll function in the team"
Q6) However, Galliani has brought good fruit for many years.
"Yes, but the results shouldn't depend on one person.. Galliani is working a lone as the point of reference in everything.. Sports and other sectors.. The difference is that before there was a group at Milan each with the right knowledge and all worked together and more than that Berlusconi investments.. with the departure of many players who had the winning mentality everything collapsed"
Q7) Galliani should stay or leave?
"It's not my say but when you feel omnipotent it won't be clear for you that results were also obtained thanks to the help of others.. To win you need Idea, design and Passion.. At Milan there's only passion which's not enough."
Q8) Barbara is able to lead Milan?
"I don't know.. It depends on who will surround her. I don't think she's an expert in football."
Q9) Few months ago there was talk about you being back to the club, what happened?
"I had two conversations with Barbara after the division of responsibilities, I was offered to be the technical director of the club but I haven't heard anything from anyone since then. I was ready for a role in sport sector but there was no follow up"
Q10) How much did those problems affect the club?
"Surely this situation didn't help the players, there was problems in the past but they were solved inside Milanello"
Q11) Seedorf has a Rossoneri background and a coach right now
"He's not experienced as a coach but has great courage and personality.. But then again even Guardiola can't do anything I don't blame Seedorf"
There's rumour that Kaka will leave next season due to clause in contract gave him permission to leave if the club couldnt qualify for UCL next season.
Whatever choice he made,he always been remembered as golden boy of Rossoneri......
Forza Ricky!

Look at Galliani. Everyone were happy except him. It is reported that he had difficult relationship with Seedorf right now.
Here the stories of Seedorf vs Galliani.

This is a transcript from SKY tv show, that had some reporters and calcio people close to serie a and of course Milan in it. It was "whats happening in MIlan." This is a short version, that was shortened to me by my friend and Im just translatin it in here. So its not my oppinion, not his - its from the SKY. So and comments in here are for you to think it through, the words are not mine.
Ok:
After Allegri got fired Galliani was all in for Pippo, but Berlusconi has choosen Seedorf. G doesnt want Seedorf coz he knows his caracted. Seedorf turns out to be " a heavy person", when he thinks of something he just does it whatever it is, but a true professional, a man with clear ideas and vision. But for Galliani that will not work, coz its known he is only below Berlusconi and will not listen to anyone else. One of the reasons Maldini is not working for Milan.
When he arrived, Seedorf, as all professionals, is taking the documentation on training methods that the team was doing etc. Then publicly says in front of the players that training methods are bad and that 80% of the team is unfit. Also Seedorf is saying to his close friends, some fans and reporters how 50% of the team in "shit" and how they should change it, aldo how he is not satisfied with assistant coaches and they should also be changed. Also how he'd like to implement Ajax training methods coz he thinks it can work well in Milan. Seedorf was telling the TRUTH but very un-tattically (not in the right timing etc...) and that created a bit of a bad atmosphere. TRied to fix it in the papers later on but the damage was done.
Then its Alex case. G is signing a pre-deal with him, but Seedorf doesnt want him and is asking not to sign him. Says he is not for his defence, See has other ideas. Seedorf asks that in every mercato move he is asked and then the deal can go on. He gives Galliani a list of players he thinks can play for Milan. Since Ancelotti no one asked anything from Galliani, and Galliani rushes mad from the meeting. Since then the relations are not good. On that meeting Seedorf also is saying to Galliani how he is still not sure if he wants Rami and Taarabt so Galliani needs to be quiet.
Then Abate case. Abate is asking from his agent to talk to Galliani so that Abate can play more, coz of the world cup. Galliani tried with assistant coaches. Seedorf goes mad and is shouting more then 20mins on the training on the team. Telling them to talk to his face and not over the agents to ask to play more.
Then ( IMMAGINE THIS!! ffs..) Binho, Birsa, Zapata... part that played more before is not happy coz they dont play, and it crates a group not happy with Seedorf. Seedorf does not pay attention, just keeps working as he thinks.
Then De Sciglio. De Sciglio has always played under Allegri as soon as he is ok. Under Seedorf players need to be completely fit and only then can play. Seedorf doesnt want to chance Bonera coz it gave him 13 points out of 15. Also they said under Seedorf he doesnt care who has which last name, only the best on the training play. The reason why Zaccardo played with Rami and Mexes didnt in the beggining. There is one training a day, but its almost double, and the gym is obligated afterwards. So the phisical condition of players is already improving.
Then Montolivo case. For Catania Seedorf is playing Poli-DJ-Taarabt-KAka'-Birsa. Monto is asking a meeting and says he wants to play. Seedorf explaining how He wants to see can Poli do it well. Monto doesnt like to play so far from the goal, but See is saying how he plays it well and against Genova Monto didnt do so well defensively so he wants to see Poli. In the end, Seedorf is saying ok to the oppinion of Montolivo and makes him play first 11. In the end of the game Seedorf is saying: "some things from the locker room are not for public. Players should know that." ( that is the montolivo case...)
After Catania, again meeting with G. Seedorf asking to be protected in the newspapers, coz its not good for the team and his own reputation. Galliani having an interwiew abut those -16mln and in the question about Seedorf only says shortly: "its not the time for any mistakes." (my friends comment: remember what stuff Galliani did to protect Allegri. "if we played only 45min we'd be third, all kinds of statistics. And never says a good word about See.)
And: Sogliano will come to work, but not with Galliani. Coz Galliani works only with himself and with Berlusconi. No one else. He barely could stand that Barbara is here, but her last name is BERLUSCONI.
Seedorf wants a rooster of 24 players. And for Galliani its easier to get rid of Seedorf then 10 players, and bringing Seedorf 5 players he asked for. Galliani already thinking of Pippo and Pippo's Milan.
TLDR version = Galliani do not want a coach that has idea above him,hence why Maldini wasnt given any roles until now.
Fifth consecutive win,last time Milan did was 2011 season. Europa spot will be claimed after next matches : AS Roma & Inter
