Doesn't matter. Milan did field an inferior squad to what they could have fielded. Exactly what Italian teams in EL do. The reason for that is that both Milan tonight and the Italian teams in EL see these matches as meaningless. It's not like Udinese's second team plays to lose those matches in EL. They too give their best.
Galliani was bitching that the Italians in EL field B teams yet his club is regularly doing the same when they don't think some match matters.
It's right to criticize Italian teams for fielding second teams, but Galliani is not the man who should say it because it makes him a hypocrite.
Unless he criticizes Allegri tonight for not playing the best available.
as I am sure you'd have said under slightly diff circumstances, like for instance if it had been about Juve and notMilan

, Milan's so called B-team is still very good. The team Milan fielded tonight lacked only Ibra, Boateng and Abate- even Thiago Silva played, while Nocerino left the field with for precaution as he got a slight injury. Everyone else from the starting 11 on paper, who missed this game - Abbiati, Nesta, Cassano, MvB, etc are out injured.
Again, Milan's B-team - had it been their B-team that is - would still be a pretty decent and capable team to win you a game like this ... and even with their nonchalant behavior (by some players, not all) they almost did if not for the last 2-3 min of the game. And it's not like Udinese or Lazio lead other teams 2-3 goals up but end up with a draw due to carelessness at the end - these thins happen at times, and I am sure they've happened to Juve too. No, what Udinese and Lazio and Palermo do is they go out there with the notion of not being their priority to win the game, on top of not fielding nowhere near their best teams, given their B-team is pretty crap too as the quality of back-up players at these teams isn't exactly high ... that's what Galliani may have complained about.
again, that's not what Milan did tonight - they fielded a pretty strong team, which actually did the job until the 89th min, then stupidity happened, not Galliani.
and let's not be so free with calling others "hypocrites" 'cause Juve have and will be fielding inferior teams in such meaningless games themselves ... would love to go back and see your reactions from years past
