A draw...well that was the logical and expected outcome,i bet some real (and virtual) cash on it...
Milan had no wins on their home field, why would they start now?
We had some important casualties, half of our defense and Camo, that would mean two 2 DMs at all times and not such a good paste and creativity.
Milan was a disaster so far, but they always manage to come back and attack the important matches, they will be always motivated against us, i didnt expected any less from them. The game started out well, the first 15' were fun to watch, good pace and open game, then the team started to guard their rear than focusing upfront, Milan took advantage of our weak flanks and tried a long term siege while we were trying some desperate long ball, counterattacks, witch Nesta managed to intercept singlehanded...The ref was just a bit pro-Milan and let them get away with a few fouls while booking our defenders when it wasnt quite necessary.
But he overall managed to control the game and not to accord any penalties, Gila and DP+Neddy tried their luck a few times and Kaka was brought down by a Juventino who was hanging on his pants. Kudos to the ref who said "shut up and play the ball"...this is how its supposed to be!
Personal ratings:
Buffon - Always present, many good saves 7.0
Zebina - solid at times but made a few serious errors, our flanks were dominated 5.5
Legrottaglie - A good day in the office, forward marking worked 6.0
Chiellini - Super solid, intercepted very crucial balls 6.5
Molinaro - Horrible, his contri at attack totally sucked and our left flank was totally dominated 4.5
Salihamidzic - not a bad game IMO, he isnt Camo but he wasnt bad today 6.0
Nocerino - Very good try by the Napoli fan,he added the guts such a game needs, but he didnt contributed enough to our build up, upfront though, Tiago would be very useful here... 7.1
Zanetti - quit but efficient work, did his job and tried to help upfront more than Nocerino, somehow though our midfield disappeared, these guys were helping our weak defense 6.9
Neddy - Omnipresent, another very good game, not like the previous one, but his form is rising again, unfortunately we cant win such games without the help of Neddy and Camo, i ve been saying this for 3 years and got confirmed one more time... 7.2
Iaquinta - Nothing special, he should come back and help the construction of our game more, i m sure he is able to do that (unlike Treze) a decent FK 5.5
Trezeguet - He had a few chances, he threatened Milan right from start by hitting their post, but he is a player who only flourishes after some certain circumstances, he was denied decent service, but still involved with the game more than he usually does 6.0
DP - erm...CR should sub him in earlier 5.5
Marchio - Someone said he will be play a key role for the rest of the game, well... he didnt, despite being rested, he tried though... 5.9
Palla - no time to shine, at least he didnt yell at DP this time
5.5
CR - ... hmm, he wanted not to lose, that was crystal clear, some key players let him no options to try a bold scheme, but he didnt reacted and didnt make any subs soon enough. We held an off form, but motivated, superior team at bay, a loss would personally harm him and the moral level of our team, he took no risk and we have now driven away from the direct CL positions, time will tell... 5.5
