@ahbaijabbabai @Charlie_leFou @Lucci_AJC I agree with your overall point but in this specific instance Modric actually has some of the best numbers not just for Milan but in all of Serie A & a better question might be, how has Italy failed to produce one midfielder who is better than 40 year old Modric?

@Charlie_leFou @Lucci_AJC Has nothing to do with d player but the issue .

Italy doesn’t have a talent problem, they have a development problem and I’ll tell you why. They always do decently well in the Youth tournaments. Where we see players like Kayode, Bartesaghi, Liberali, Fagioli, Hasa, Ricci, Casadei, and many others play well. 1/2

@XtraAzzurri @AntonioMango4 Transfermarkt has him at 191cm: transfermarkt.it/emanuele-sala/…

@AntonioMango4 He’s not 6’3, he’s much shorter

Emanuele Sala (18, 🇮🇹) Talented midfelder currently in Milan Academy I've really enjoyed watching & if given the opportunity has a bright career ahead. Standing at 6'3 Foot, he's a modern midfielder who blends defensive awareness with technical ability. Disciplined in his positioning, maturity beyond his age and has this knack of being the heartbeat of the team when it comes to controlling the game, on anf off the ball. 💎

@lporiginalg Doesn’t the German guy’s name literally mean “big little dog”? 😂😂

@Vintage77Ball Remember this like it was yesterday, it was the game that was on the first weekend I moved to Milan… incredible times…

Maldini, Weah, Shevchenko, Veron, Salas & Mihajlović. Lazio 4-4 AC Milan, 1999. One of the most spectacular matches in Calcio history took place on October 3, 1999, as Lazio and AC Milan drew 4-4. Juan Sebastián Verón opened the scoring in the 18th minute, followed by a flurry of goals including own goals from Mihajlović and Abbiati. Marcelo Salas netted a brace in the 38th and 72nd minutes, while Andriy Shevchenko announced himself to the league with a stunning hat-trick in the 43rd, 63rd, and 68th minutes. Final Score: Lazio 4, AC Milan 4 Goal Scorers: Juan Sebastián Verón 18' (Lazio), Siniša Mihajlović 35' og (Milan), Christian Abbiati 36' og (Lazio), Marcelo Salas 38' (Lazio), Andriy Shevchenko 43' (Milan), Andriy Shevchenko 63' pen (Milan), Andriy Shevchenko 68' (Milan), Marcelo Salas 72' (Lazio) Stadium: Stadio Olimpico, Rome Attendance: 56,135 Lazio starting XI: Marchegiani, Negro, Nesta, Mihajlović, Favalli, Conceição, Almeyda, Simeone, Verón, Salas, Bokšić. AC Milan starting XI: Abbiati, Costacurta, Ayala, Maldini, Guglielminpietro (Guly(, Albertini, Ambrosini, Serginho, Giunti, Shevchenko, Weah.

@rich_p_gray @Mithrandir_AFC It’s in their footballing culture for sure. Who could forget the Ronaldo Rooney thing in 06? Also remember Pepe? I can think of a better word for him that “heel” haha

@Mithrandir_AFC the portuguese (Fernandes also does this) seem to treat crying to the ref with their arms out as some sort of art

Silva is genuinely the perfect heel. One of the dirtiest players on earth, never gets booked, always cries to the ref, always runs his mouth in interviews. Designed in a lab to annoy other human beings

@BowTiedPassport No no, down get me wrong, I love good $2 tacos! I fully believe in their redeeming power, haha. I’m just saying don’t be so dismissive of experiences. There’s more than enough room in the world for fine dining and street food to happily co-exist!

@Justinpnguin You underestimate 2$ tacos

🇲🇽 How to experience the World's 3rd Best Restaurant. Book the reservation 2 months out. Fly to Mexico City, and spend $250 per person to eat "deconstructed" ants and foam. Take Instagram photos so everyone back home knows you’ve made it. Leave hungry and unsatisfied. Walk 2 blocks over to a guy with plastic wrapped plates and open salsa trays. Pay $2 for 5 tacos that change your life.

@BowTiedPassport Mate, if you seriously think that generically recommending $2 tacos is either a) a new experience or b) life changing I think I probably overestimated you

@Justinpnguin “Pay $2 for 5 tacos that change your life.” I’m literally telling people to go on a new experience that will change their life. Tf are you talking about

@Footballtweet Ah yes that classic romantic tale of how a club with no history, fans or trophies was bought by 2 Indonesian tobacco billionaire brothers who spent nearly a 1/4 billion Euros (and counting) to build a team with the fewest Italian players in Serie A. Textbook plastic club.

Cesc Fàbregas' Como beat Roma yesterday and are now ALONE in fourth place in Serie A. 🧠🇪🇸 As it stands, this team will play Champions League football next season. 💫

@M4rkPhilips Beh sinceramente hanno anche giocato un discreto secondo tempo e non meritavano assolutamente di perdere la partita. Però alla fine, le opzioni li davanti sono quelle che sono…

Partita molto deludente, doveva essere approcciata con un altro spirito. Meglio nel secondo tempo rispetto al primo ma in generale troppo poco per poter vincere questa partita Squadra che conferma le lacune mostrate per tutta la stagione, non in grado di aprire un filotto importante di vittorie Quindi come da programma, testa sempre sulla CL che è quello il vero obiettivo

@acmilan @OffWht Literally lose the game every single time these fucking jackets come out

A fresh look tonight with our new @OffWht Varsity Jacket 😎

@BenjaminLind6 @BayernForumCom @DougieCritchley Tbf he looked more like some kind of spastic flamingo than a scorpion 😂

@BayernForumCom @Justinpnguin @DougieCritchley Should ban LBs from trying a scorpion clearance tho😭😭

This has to be a penalty… Whether he gets the ball or not, Bensebaini isn’t looking, lifts his leg backwards and catches Krstović on the face… So much so, that he’s bleeding! It’s dangerous, it’s reckless, it’s a penalty for me!

@SempreMilanCom I highly doubt any concrete decision has been made considering he’s played with a broken foot for the last month. And for €5m I don’t see many better options for a reserve player.

🇩🇪 Füllkrug has 12 games to change the minds of the #ACMilan management. 🤔 Should he be signed for €5m?

@stevecounz @Guidolino8 No raga' dai, e' difficile vincere le partite senza i giocatori migliori. Oggi davvero si vedeva quanto siano mancati i vari, Fabbri, Mariani, Doveri, La Penna, etc. 🤣🤣🤣

@Guidolino8 Si pensa più a imbrogliare e rubare le partite anziché fare qualcosa di concreto. Questo è il risultato

L’Inter vincerà meritatamente lo scudetto e quindi l’eliminazione col Bodo passerà in secondo piano. Questa Champions però è negativa per i nerazzurri, vice-campioni della scorsa edizione. Chivu al primo anno europeo non bene, ma vincerà il titolo e quindi merita comunque applausi. Salvo miracoli la Serie A non porterà nessuna squadra tra le prime 16 in Europa, non accade da 35 anni. Il nostro movimento è in profonda crisi

@Matt_Santangelo Turns out it's harder to win matches without so many of their best players: Mariani, Chiffi, La Penna, Piccinini, Doveri, Fabbri... all absent tonight 🤣🤣🤣

Inter are leading Serie A comfortably by 10 points. They’ve just been convincingly beaten over two legs by Bodø/Glimt. Collectively, a poor showing by Italian clubs in UCL. It really shows you how far behind Serie A’s best are on this stage.

@MilanPosts lol “regular situation” 😂😂

🗣️ Referee chief Dino Tommasi: "In this situation it is certainly an accidental coming-together. Corvi attempts to go for the ball, but his teammate reaches it first. The dynamics are completely accidental. It’s unfortunate for Loftus-Cheek, but from a football perspective it is a regular situation: Corvi tries to make a save and the ball is taken away by his own teammate. A totally accidental collision."

@GioSer_3313 Gli interisti sono la tifoseria più disonesta di sempre…

Che ha accentuato. Che cazzo vuoi dire di diverso? Solo voi (come i gobbi dimmerda anni fa) negate anche davanti all'evidenza.

@stevecounz Ma, purtroppo, è proprio per questo che la situazione non cambierà mai... non c'è nessuno interessato a fare nulla...

Dove sono i giornalisti d’inchiesta, i magistrati? Come si può pensare soltanto per un attimo, che gli arbitraggi di Napoli e Milan siano stati regolari? Uno dei campionati meno regolari che io ricordi a memoria

@Globalstats11 Not sure what the exact eligibility criteria for this list were but 00s Maldini at CB was better than every single one of these guys except maybe Nesta and Cannavaro and even there it’s extremely close.
