Since Sunday's incredible victory all the talk, and praise, has been reserved for Kevin Prince
Boaten. And, deservingly so. The midfielder's hat-trick in such trying circumstances will not be
forgotten quickly and has seen him hit the headlines the world over. But, as ever, another player
has been in the spotlight too; Mario Balotelli.
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 [...]
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.
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 [.
Today saw the unveiling of the new Milan home jersey for next season. AC Milan Blog was one of the
few that was invited to the exclusive first blogal that showcased the event. It was an exciting
affair as Clarence Seedorf, Luca Antonini and Mark van Bommel donned the new strip for the first
time [...
With Champions League all the talk this week, famed French sports newspaper L'Equipe has published
what it believes to be the all-time European dream team. For us Milan fans, it only reinforces the
greatness that our club has achieved over the years. Only three players still playing were included
in the list; Barcelona's Lionel [.
Gatorade, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, has again become an official partner of Milan for the current
season after a deal was signed today. The American company whose product is the result of 45 years
of research and sporting experience will have their logo once labelled on the Milan bench at the
San Siro.
It is just talk most likely, but, according to il Milanista Milan are lining up bids for three La
Liga players, Sami Khedira and Kaka of Real Madrid and Maxwell. Given the start to the season, it
is understandable that the club are looking for alternatives who will solve the team's gaping holes
all over the [.
Coach Max Allegri has stated his belief his side will be back amongst the top in the League after a
poor start to the season sees them languishing in 13th place. No reigning Serie A champion since
Napoli in 1990-91 has made such a dismal start to their title defence. While injuries have played
their [.
Normally, it is not a good idea to tell your employer that are over it. But, this is exactly what
Ibrahimovic has done in recent days. The Big Swede was quoted by Corriere dello Sport, saying,
"Football is no longer burning inside me like it used to. "I used not to think about anything else.

There are many reasons why Milan have struggled so far this campaign. Amongst others, one of them
has been the injury crisis that has exposed our team's lack of depth. But, there are six reasons to
be optimistic ahead of this weekend's clash with Palermo. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Nesta,
Kevin Prince Boateng, Robinho, Gianluca Zambrotta and [.
The news today surrounding the Milanello is about the apparent unsettledness of strike pair Antonio
Cassano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Adriano Galliani has been forced to quell increasing speculation
that the two are not happy. Perhaps in the case of Ibra there is some truth. The player has in
recent days expressed his lack of [.
Brazilian ace Robinho has recovered from injury and could make his first Serie A appearance for the
season against Palermo this weekend. Milan have not been in good form during his absence and his
return will come as a welcome boost for Max Allegri who has had to deal with an early season injury
crisis.
It has to be said, Taye Taiwo's start to his Milan career has been much like the team's start to
the Serie A season, disappointing to say the least. The Nigerian has started just one match to date
and it was not one that showed much promise. Rather, he was a nervous wreck and it [...]
I admit it, I idolised Roberto Baggio as a kid. He was my hero and I know I was not alone in this.
He was the inspiration of a generation and arguably the best Italian player of all time. A slightly
biased view perhaps, but one shared by many. It still pains me knowing he [...]
This week has seen some scary rumours emerge. First it was reported that the club had revived its
interest in Juventus striker Amauri. Then Lazio's new signing Dijbril Cisse was linked to the club
before Carlos Tevez was mentioned as Milan target. But, Adriano Galliani has brushed aside such
rumours.
Adriano Galliani – Aquaman and Noce are extraordinary "They all played well but this evening I
was particularly impressed by Aquilani and Nocerino. Aquilani was extraordinary both defensively
and in attack" Speaking after the game everyone was understandably excited, including Uncle Fester.
The old baldy reserved special praise for Alberto Aquilani and Antonio Nocerino and [.

Milan are in a tussle with Liverpool for the much heralded Danish starlet, Christian Eriksen. The
19-year-old is regarded as one of the finest young talents in Europe today and has already gained
international recognition with his national team Denmark who he has made 19 appearances for. Last
week evidenced a coming-of-age performance by the [.
Robinho is definitely in high spirits. And, well he should be. He may not have been the standout
player in Milan's win over Palermo, but, his mere presence was enough to make Milan look a
completely different team from the one that stumbled through the opening matches of the season.
There was movement in the [.
In about eight hours Milan will take to the field to face Belarussian side BATE Borisov in the
Champions League. Here is a glance at the squad Max Allegri has opted to select. Originally it was
mentioned that Alexandre Pato would make his return to action for the match. However, the Brazilian
is not 100 [.

Milan beat BATE Borisov overnight to retain top spot in Group H of the Champions League. In the end
a goal each from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kevin Prince Boateng was enough to give the Max Allegri's
side their second win of the competition. Here is what they all had to say after the match.
Massimiliano [.
In The Stands' Goal of The Week comes from Kevin Prince Boateng whose blockbuster strike against
BATE Borisov helped Milan grab a 2-0 win and remain joint top of Group H. The strike had a Tony
Yeboah-type-feel to it although the Leeds striker was more renowned for striking the ball sweetly
from a volley.
It has been a good week for Milan. Two successive wins, two clean sheets, some good performances
from the new recruits (Taiwo, Nocerino and Aquilani), Ibrahimovic insisting he is happy (and
scoring), Boateng scoring a goal and saying he loves everything (about Milan) and then to cap it
all off, Barcelona target Thiago Silva stating [.
Milan coach Max Allegri has stated that star player Zlatan Ibrahimovic is keen to play again after
using a bit of the old stick and carrot treatment on the Swede. Ibrahimovic had recently said, in
as many words, that he was ‘over' the game and that he was looking forward to retirement. While
we are [.
Milan coach Max Allegri feels his team's lowly 13th position in the Serie A standings will provide
added motivation for his players to ‘get over' their Lecce taboo. The champions have a dismal
record against Lecce as I explain in my preview for the match. Click here to read. It has been
almost ten years [.
Milan coach Max Allegri has stated that new signing Philippe Mexes could become a starting eleven
player for the Italian champions. However, the Frenchman may still have to wait his turn as the
tactician hinted that he may start him from the bench for Sunday's night's encounter against Lecce.
"Yepes could play tomorrow.
Max Allegri has announced his squad for his side's match against Lecce. Notable yet expected
exclusions include Gennaro Gattuso, Alexandre Pato, Mathieu Flamini and Thiago Silva who are all
suffering various injuries. Philippe Mexes has been selected but Allegri has suggest Mario Yepes
may start in his place alongside Alessandro Nesta.
Max Allegri has indicated that Gennaro Gattuso could be unavailable for some time still. The feisty
Italian midfielder had been suffering from blurred vision to his left eye and has been sat on the
sidelines to recover. However, Allegri has told that due to the particular nature of his injury it
is unknown exactly when [.

Max Allegri must have been a worried man. Heading into the half-break his chargers were down 3-0
and playing diabolical football. Milan's title ambitions were looking, again, lost at sea much like
their play. Given how vital it is for the team to rack up a series of wins to keep their season's
hopes alive, [.
There is little doubting who was the hero of the day for Milan. Kevin Prince-Boateng's incredible
18 minute blitz that saw him score three goals and literally rocket Milan back into the game
against Lecce was by far and away the man of the match. I often argue that the Ghanainan is not an
ideal [...]
AC Milan veteran Gennaro Gattuso has been diagnosed with a serious affliction to his left eye which
is causing double vision and which will see him sit on the sidelines for a good length of time.
Milan's team Doctor Tavana has said Gattuso is suffering from a paralysis in his sixth cranial
nerve which is [.
Max Allegri has named his squad for the Parma clash. Clarence Seedorf as expected has not been
included along with Alexandre Pato and Gennaro Gattuso who is out for six months. Surprisingly
Thiago Silva has been included but it is doubtful he will start. GOALKEEPERS – Abbiati, Roma
DEFENDERS – Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Mexes, Taiwo, [.

There is no doubt who the man-of-the-match was against Parma. It was, of course, Antonio Nocerino.
Not a player known for his scoring ability, his hat-trick is in many ways more remarkable than that
of Kevin Prince's on Sunday, circumstances aside. The former Juventus player was signed by the club
at the eleventh hour of [.
Milan recorded their fourth win in a row in all competitions after demolishing Parma 4-1 at the San
Siro overnight. In a convincing display, Zlatan Ibrahimovic got back to scoring ways but was
overshadowed by Antonio Nocerino who claimed a hat-trick. It is interesting; for the second game
running we have had a most unlikely [.
