Zambrotta was also bought, and Beckham and Shevchenko were also purchased. All players who were reaching the end of there career. There was not a single signing among them that can be dubbed the Future. Maldini retired in , and Pirlo and Gattuso entered there 30s.
One of the stars, Kaka, was sold to Real Madrid, and Milan got Huntelaar, who was sold the very next season. The year was the year of the exodus. Two club greats Seedorf and Inzaghi were appointed as Milan Managers, but they were not able to get Milan out of the mess.
An Academy which has given players like Messi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique, Xavi, just to name some, will always have talent. That talent can anytime be called up for the first team. The trio has scored only 54 goals between them. Dembele has his injury problems. Players like Turan, Digne, Gomez, and Malcolm never had an opportunity to make it big, so why were they ever bought? Only good signings Barca made to fill these void were De Jong and Arthur. The closest player Barca got to Xavi was Arthur, and he was sold to buy Pjanic a year-old just to balance the books.
Barca has an identity that the great Johann Cruyff instilled in us. Players that play for us should represent that Identity. His reign was when Milan conquered the Footballing world. Under him, they won a whopping 29 trophies.
But it was not long that the angel was turned into a demon. Silvio was a politician, so many of his decisions were based on it. His daughter was one of the reasons for the economic problems Milan faced. That created a disaster for Milan. Zlatan, Robinho, and Balotelli were brought just before the elections. Milan was sold to Chinese Yonghong Li, and he promised a spending spree. It came, but it was not enough.
The people running a football club should be there if they know about football. And a solitary Milan goal would still be enough to send them through by virtue of the away goals rule.
What crisis? The greatest team ever just got greater! Villa tips the balance AC Milan were forced to change their tactics in the second half. Alba seals the deal But not too much. The hosts and Valverde regardless remain under pressure, owing to their underwhelming start to the Liga season.
That the visiting wing-backs proved capable of moving out quickly and still cutting off passes to the advancing midfielder somewhat frustrated them. To that end their front three played in narrower territory when possession progressed towards the final third, in an attempt to encourage combination play, even if Inter defended well against that.
When Arturo Vidal came on during the second half their midfield triangle was also repositioned so that Vidal played as an attacking midfielder in front of Arthur and De Jong , who had previously operated together ahead of Busquets. This fixed presence between the lines offered Messi greater freedom, and he capitalised by having a greater share of possession and using it to attack.
Inter operated with an impressively-organised when they were without possession, and sought to restrict Barca to playing around and in front of them by maintaining numbers and a compact shape between the ball and goal. Their early goal was followed by them moving into a lower block and the distance between their defensive and midfield lines being kept to approximately yards, to prevent penetrations in central areas; if an individual received between those lines, Inter would use players from both units to press them, from either side.
