[ITA] Serie A 2013/2014 (44 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
Provided Milan have completely written off this season and are planning to have Seedorf as their coach for a few years, appointing him now could work out well.
It can given Seedorf time to settle in to being a coach - something he'll need having never done it before - and figure out how he wants his team to play.
That, in turn, will allow him to see which players he wants to keep and which he sees no use for and allows those he wants to keep the chance to have a few months of getting to know what Seedorf wants from his team.
It'll also give the Milan management the chance to see what Seedorf wants/needs and to properly plan their summer transfers with him.
Handled well (which it presumably won't be given Milan's recent track record) taking over now definitely gives Seedorf and Milan and advantage going into next season, compared to the position they'd be in if he just strolled in the door in June.

Thought that was a very good second half from Chievo, but I didn't understand Inter's nothingy tactics.
Inter started out with a plan to really get at the left side of Chievo's defence and were overloading that side with Alvarez, Jonathan and Campagnaro all getting high up on that flank.
Now, Chievo did gradually shuffle across to block that option for Inter, but that must have left space somewhere else on the pitch for Inter to exploit, but they didn't do that. They just meandered around without any sense of purpose and with no idea of how to create a chance.
You'd think they'd at least be able to throw in a few crosses once they put Milito on, if they didn't have any brighter ideas.
And it's not like it was an ultra-defensive display from Chievo, compared to what Inter are accumstomed to facing at home. Chievo still had two forwards high up the pitch the vast majority of the time.
Beyond denying space high up the pitch, Chievo all picked their moments to press Inter very well and force them back and even try to win the ball off them high up the pitch occasionally.
Shame Chievo aren't marginally less shit, because the opportunities were there on the break for them to win that game in the second half.
