This weekend all eyes will be on the Milano derby.
As always there will be alot of ptredictions regarding this game.
You will have the everybody from the pizza delivery to the police officers giving predictions.

I say.
If they knew football would they deliver pizza?
If they knew football would they look for the bad guys on the street?

I have just gone on a 9!! games winning streak with good prices involved.
Bragging? Naaa just facts..
Lets just say that my predictions on any givien soccer/football game count alot more then the novice punter or street guy.

So let’s start analysing the game between Milan and Inter this Sunday.

Milan come from two straight wins and they seem to have put all that early trouble behind them.

But is all great now?
Or was everything all bad when they lost two games in a row?
Fact is its not great and its not disaster.

Milan have once again chosen to come inte a new season with a squad that CANT win the league.
Of course Ancelloti dosent think this way nor does Mr Berlosconi.
But i dont care what they think or not think.

I say #You dont win the league with a squad like that#

Milans biggest problem is the defensive line.
Players like Maldini,Kaladze,Jankolovski,Zambrotta,Bonera are just average players (spare me the he have won this or he have won that, it dosent matter)
Football today is not what it was 10 or 20 years ago.

The bar is raised and its raised big time.
A modern defender today in a top team must be great at

1) Defending

And good to

2) Help the team in their offensive play.

What defender in todays Milan have these characteristics?

Compare Milan’s defence with teams like Real Marid,Inter,Chelsea,Man United etc etc. (not just defensively but offensively as well)

I don’t know what tactics Ancelotti will use against Inter this Sunday.

But knowing he have the likes of Ibrahimovic,Mancini,Quaresma against him.
He might choose a safer approach (4-5-1?)

Kaka will once again be the #go-to guy# but unfortunately for him,
he doesn’t get the support he needs many time from his team mates.
You think Kaka is playing good right?
Well he is doing alright considering he have no team mates with his ability.
When you have great players around you, it’s easier to be great and play great.

Ronaldinho for example is just a salsa dancer nowadays.
If he played football as good as he smiles he might bring Milan titles.

Pirlo although injureed lack the passion you need in modern top football.

Pato although i rate him very very high is still not a week in and week out player for Milan.
Who else?

Shevcenko? lost his speed and you just dont go to the supermarket to get new speed.

He is a 6-8 goals a season player now so forget him.
Flamini is ok but calling him a great player is only gonna confuse alot of football fans who by the way are already confused.

So you see i dont see a bright future for this Milan team with these players. (important with these players)

Inter on the other hand is doing everything great.

The sacking of Mancini maybe was harsh but Moratti is not out to make friends.

He want titles and more titles.
I was not a fan of Mancinis Inter,but i cant say i was against it either.

One thing certian though,it was too much of a defensive minded Inter under Mancini.

It was an Inter that defended 15-20 meters too deep in my book.
And i had problems with only seeing 2-3 creative players on the field when Inter played.

Mourinho has changed this.

1) The defence play much higher now.
2) Muntari,Quaresma,Mancini have arrived and they are all pretty much starters. (all creative players)

With this Inter, adds 2 other dimensions that they were missing from the era of Mancini which pretty much make them a stronger side under Mourinho.

Can Milan beat Inter this Sunday?
That’s for sure as anything can happen in one game.
Can Milan have a great Seria A season this time around?
My answer will be the same like the one i gave two years ago,and the one i gave last year.

#This Milan team cant compete with this Inter team over 38 games like the Serie A is#

Enjoy the game on Sunday.
And what ever i think about this or any other game will be shared to my members.
As i said the past have shown that my advices and thoughts count.
