Seven Days in August - how things change in Milan
What a difference a week makes.
Seven days ago it was the red and black side of Milan who were flush with optimism, stunned at a reversal in fortunes that had seen their hopes shattered in pre-season and then steadily rebuilt in Siena.
They had witnessed the first tentative steps of the apparent rebirth of Ronaldinho, they had seen Alexandre Pato set himself up for what many to believe will be "his" season with two clinical goals, and they had seemingly allayed any fears that the ageing and aching limbs of Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Alessandro Nesta, Gianluca Zambrotta and Marek Jankulovski were a bridge that not even the confident and bullish Leonardo and the downright brash Silvio Berlusconi could cross.
