Leonardo:” We Can’t Rely Solely On Youth”

AC Milan new head coach Leonardo warned this Tuesday that his team will not have a good season relying solely on youth players. He believes that Milan is still in need of reinforcements.

This in response to comments made by Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi that it is imperative for Leonardo to utilize players less than 23 years of age.

If there is one thing the pre-season games made evident is that Milan is still in need of reinforcements; they have not been able to replace Kaka and are now in danger of losing Pirlo to Chelsea.

The only effort made for reinforcements, if you can call it that was the low ball offer for Luis Fabiano, which was emphatically rejected by Sevilla.

Abate (22), and Antonini (26)provided a glimmer of hope putting in solid performances in the pre-season.

Milan’s over 30 list:

Kalac - 36
Abbiati - 32
Dida – 35
Kaladze – 31
Gattuso – 31
Inzaghi – 35
Seedorf – 33
Nesta – 33
Zambrotta – 32
Jankulovski – 32
Favalli – 37
Pirlo – 30
Ambrosini – 32
Oddo - 33

Barcelona Vs. Rangers

I was very disappointed to say the least with the Barcelona's performance yesterday.

I can't believe that they had 68% of possession throughout the game and could not score. In fact it was by the skin of their teeth that they did not lose.

In my opinion last night the only person pulling their weight was Puyol.

Ronaldinho had some flashes of what he is capable of doing and so did Messi but nothing to write home about.

Henry....don't even get me started on that guy. I don't know about anyone else but all I can say is that I can't wait for Eto'o to come back. Henry has no business being on that team.

Let's hope they do better next time.
