Game Over,We won 1-0 (kingsley boateng)
According Inzaghi, Pacifico will stay in primavera and will be captain.
Hope he ready for next year..
Forza Milan..
zaccardo aint good at all…..
What i like in Alegri is that he is promoting youngsters like sharawy, constant, de scilio, pacifico, gabrial, petegana, and others. He was the right guys for milan new project.
cmon man..wake up, this is just test, in the actually match seri a or champion, Alegry still use his player like bonera, antonini, boateng in false position, el99 in false position. in bet for it
Couldn’t agree more about everyone’s comments on Pacifico, but we mustn’t promote him instantly. Lets be honest not many of us knew about Pacifico before today’s performance and although that performance has given him lots of confidence we must leave him in the Primavera for this season. Give him the captaincy and let him mature into a leader. Iotti should also be given a few more years as I see him becoming a great too. This season we should stick with the CB’s we have + Rojo of Sporting. They only want 5 million and he is very promising. A… Read more »
Bonera. Rly? He has a great heart but he always gives me a heart attack while he’s playing. We have been conceding the most goals while bonera and Amelia been playing last season.
Constant is ok at times but very inconsistent. Our best starting back line is obviously abate Zapata mexes and de sciglio
Urby is in the right place this competition that makes me so glad& his assist today was very nice
I disagree.. all of our current CB’s suck except for Zapata. Maldini was given the confidence at 16yrs old. With the garbage CB’s we have and the one we just signed, Milan & Allegri should give Pacifico the chance on the big stage. He is ready!
Both Pacifico and Petagna deserve that for their performance in preseason!
Why not give Pacifico and Vergara a shot? I’m with you.
Some players that are categorized as average players and they usually make fatal mistakes on backlines are: amelia, antonini and bonera. Milan need to bench or send them to other clubs. Milan have to promote from youth team players that are more motivated and skillful (but less experience) than those players.
D-BO motion supported especially vergara n petanga shld b given the platform to deliver
What exactly did Pacifico play in yesterdays game that makes him the second coming of Thiago Silva?
He had his good moments but he also had some bad moments.
Vergara actually was better than him in that game.
The kid has talent but so did “a duck”. When will u guyz learn to stop comparing youngsters to Legends!?
Pacifico should remain with the primavera. He still has a lot to learn and perfect.
Petagna on the other hand has completely won me over.
The dude has got the juice.
I’m not sold on the hype around Petanga yet he looked really clumsy at times, I’d prefer we kept Niang.
I missed the game but sounds like something amazing happened… Urby actually played in his natural position. Wow. I wonder what meds Galliani has put Allegri on.
guys the spirit in Milan is one,we must move on.Bonera,Atonini and Amelia should be given out on loan
