Though I didn’t get to see the first half but in second half Valencia had most of the possessions.nocerino was just playing like a shadow. urby is not an attacker for cry out loud, what he did successfully is to run with ball and when he there he dosnt have any idea what to do with the ball. Boateng is a good player, only if he can play in the mid-field.
Milan played a good first 45 mins, especially the likes of Poli, Mexes, De Jong and Constant was brilliant to watch – then they got tired and too many substitutions.
bonera and antonini should be loaned out wit an option to be given 4 free.
