AC Milan produced a stirring comeback to beat Udinese 2-1 thanks to late goals by Maxi Lopez and
highly rated youngster Stephan El Shaarawy. The prolific Antonio Di Natale had given Udinese the
lead in the 19th minute when he looped the ball over Marco Amelia and into the net. The hosts then
spurned numerous [.
Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani definitely knows how to work a bargain. Since 1986, when he
started his long and prosperous career at the Via Turati, the man known as Uncle Fester has been
the man behind the scenes. The one who has engineered deals that have seen so many of the world's
best players [.
It has been an odd week for Milan. From the low that last Sunday's derby loss sank us to, the
club's fortunes rose steadily from one day to the next ending in triumphant fashion with a
convincing 3-0 win over Novara. The loss to the ‘Tinkerman's' Nerazzurri posed serious questions
over Max Allegri's men, from [.
The recent resurgence of Inter in the Serie A and Milan's status as defending champions are nicely
setting up what should be an intense and fiercely fought Milan derby on Monday. Of course,
fireworks are always expected whenever these two sides meet at the San Siro. But, with the
Nerazzurri desperate to continue their climb [.
With the New Year come new expectations. Currently in joint first place with Juventus, Milan will
be expected to strengthen their position at the top of the Serie A though doing so in January may
prove tricky. Max Allegri's men first face Atalanta in a regional derby before the Milan derby with
Inter and ties [.
Ever since Paolo Maldini retired in 2009 to the completely undeserving jeers of a certain few
ultras – inexplicable this happened to such legend of the club – the left full back position
has been a problem area for Milan. The club's attempts to find the solution have seen one failure
after the next, to [.
Reports linking Milan striker Alexandre Pato have been gaining pace in the last week. The player
himself has expressed his discontent with Max Allegri and it has been rumoured that Paris
Saint-Germain have offered €50 million for his services – with the deal already agreed in
principle between the two clubs.
Milan's determination to sign Carlos Tevez has been unrelenting. I understand that Tevez is a great
player, of this there is no doubt. But, given his off-field troubles which have kept him off the
field at City, it's a little bizarre how Adriano Galliani and Co. are pulling out all the stops to
get their [.
The winter break is now upon us which means no Serie A action until January 8. What will we do now?
However, during this time there is at least one enticing encounter to look forward to; the 2012
Dubai Football Challenge which will see Milan take on Paris Saint-Germain. It is a match that will
[...]

AC Milan moved to the top of Serie A ahead of the winter break after a 2-0 win over Cagliari on
Tuesday night. An own goal by Cagliari defender Francesco Pisano and a second half strike by Zlatan
Ibrahimovic proved enough for Massimiliano Allegri's men to secure victory against his former club
and continue their [.
It came and it went by with little attention. AC Milan turned 112 years old on December 16. I for
one, am guilty of not showing attention. But, it is only four days late, and better late than never
eh? So Happy Birthday AC Milan and special thanks to our writer, Francesco Barbati, who sent [...]
AC Milan moved to the top of Serie A after a comfortable 2-0 win over Siena thanks to second half
goals by Antonio Nocerino and a penalty by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After struggling to break through a
painfully defensive Siena backline in the opening 45 minutes, it was Milan midfielder Antonio
Nocerino who shot the hosts ahead [.
Milan draw Arsenal in the round of 16 while Napoli will play Chelsea. It is England versus Italy
all over again and I have to say, I think it will be tough for both Italian sides. In recent
history English sides have gotten the better of Italian sides. Milan, for example, have been
eliminated from [.
So this is what Milan will wear next season apparently and I have to say, I do not like it. If we
were a rugby club than I would be all for it, but, we are not. Football is our game. This strip is
more suited to be used by athletes who use that distorted [...]
They say good things come to those who are patient and Milan are very much practicing this line of
thought at the moment. After having reached an agreement with Manchester City's Carlos Tevez for a
loan move in January, the Italian champions are yet to agree on the deal with his English
employers. But, Adriano [.

Nothing it is simple when it comes to Argentina's Carlos Tevez. An incredibly talented player as
he, who has proven himself at the highest level at great clubs should be rolling out his magic on a
weekly basis. Unfortunately, since his refusal to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich in
the Champions League [.
Milan once again failed to win in the Champions League after conceding two late goals to Viktoria
Plzen as the game ended 2-2 leaving coach Max Allegri understandably angered by his team's display.
"There is anger rather than bitterness [at the result]," Allegri told Sky Italia. "We had
opportunities to grab a third goal, but [.

With a little more time on his hands these days since being ousted from his position as Italian
prime minister by the Franco-German alliance, aka the EU, Silvio Berlusconi is set to return to the
seat of president at AC Milan. When asked if he will return as president, Berlusconi told Gazzetta
dello Sport, "Certainly, [.
Stephen El Shaarawy's agent, Roberto La Florio, has hinted that his client may leave Milan in order
to find regular playing time. For young footballers on the peninsula, it is an all too familiar
story to have to leave for a smaller club in order to be trusted with game time. Again calcio has
shown [.
Adriano Galliani is at it again. It has been no secret that Milan have been courting Maxi Lopez and
Carlos Tevez. The latter is the preferred option despite his suspect state of mind. In order to
urge Manchester City into quickly deciding on whether or not to offload their problem child,
Galliani has shown his [.

In a gala event Milan were awarded the prestigious award of China's Sport's Team of the Year with
Adriano Galliani present to receive the accolade alongside other dignitaries. It is a significiant
achievement for the club as Asia, particularly China, represents a real opportunity in economic
terms. Successfully marketing the AC Milan brand into Asia [.
This week Milan club representatives sat down with Carlos Tevez's management team to discuss a
possible January transfer for the player. The absence of Antonio Cassano for most of the season has
prompted the club to consider other options and it is thought that Tevez could be the solution.
Apparently the club has laid on [.

Max Allegri has chosen twenty players for tonight's mouth-watering clash with Barcelona. Clarence
Seedorf, who was an injury doubt, is included while Philippe Mexes is not as he is still recovering
from wrist surgery. Alexandre Pato is set to make his first appearance in the Champions League
since the opening fixture against Barcelona.
Milan boss Max Allegri has pointed his finger at the referee's decision not to award a late penalty
for the his side's failure to beat Fiorentina on Saturday night. Speaking after the match the
tactician was said, "Pato's shirt was pulled, it was a penalty." Despite not winning, Allegri was
still happy with his side's [.

While I confess to not having read this book – rest assured I intend to – I have stumbled on
some more juicy insights revealed in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's book, "I am Zlatan". I have the suspicion
that this book will be entertaining purely because of the, shall we say colourful character that is
Mr. Zlatan [.
There may have been no action on the field last week, however, there was still much talk off it. We
can thank the release of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography for this; it hit the shelves on
November 11. Before being published, AC Milan supporters and football fans in general were
impatiently waiting for the release date.
He had it coming. Under trial for fraud, sexual misconduct and tax evasion – which can be added
to a history of alleged criminal activity – Silvio Berlusconi's position as Italy's prime
minister has for a long time been tenuous. The country's current dire economic woes have proven to
be the breaking point, but, not [.
Milan fullback Ignazio Abate has used the term ‘beautiful' to describe his debut for the Azzurri
in their 2-0 win over Poland in Friday. "It was beautiful to start, and we had a good game," Abate
told Rai Sport after the game. "Poland pressed high in the first half, but we hit them at [...]

Against Poland tonight Ignazio Abate will finally get the chance he has deserved from some time
now; to play for Italy. Two years ago former coach Leonardo asked the young winger to play at full
back and since then he has become one of the best in his position in the country – the best [...]
We will mourn the loss of Antonio Cassano for the rest of the season. Although, I do reserve some
hope that we will see him before we claim a second consecutive Scudetto and an eighth European
crown in May at the Allianz Arena after we beat Barcelona 3-0. How I wish. Just like a depressed
[...]
I love it. Adriano Galliani is getting on in years but has again showed that he has not lost his
ability to be ironic and funny at the same time. Talking to Gazzetta Dello Sport, our charismatic
director said, "It's a good job that Ibra did fight with Guardiola. "If that wasn't the case then
[...]
Milan defender Ignazio Abate has said the kind of words that will endear him to Milan fans even
further. Amid speculation that PSG are snooping around for his signature, Abate has stated that he
wants to stay at Milan for "as long as possible". Former Milan boss Leonardo deserves much credit
for helping Abate's transformation [.
With Antonio Cassano effectively ruled out for the season, barring a miraculous recovery – which
I hope for – the club has decided that a new striker is needed. Adriano Galliani has hinted as
much, but, has said that if a striker does arrive it will only be temporary, i.e. on a loan. "For
sure [.
