The papers are very entertaining. Over the last few weeks, not a day has gone by without another
back page headline about Chelsea being ready to splash the cash in January either on some La Liga
mega-star or a Brazilian wonderkid currently plying his trade in South America.
Last week I wrote an post on how Chelsea had – since the suspension of the transfer ban – been

Centre-Back: Sebastien Squillaci (Sevilla FC)
Squillaci has plenty of Champions League experience and is will be an important part of
Sevilla's side if they want to make a run.

I think it is fair to say that AC Milan's start to the season has been less than impressive to
say the least. However, victory over Roma at the weekend propelled them into the top half of the
table and then last night the Rossonerri did the unthinkable and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu
in the Champions League.

I am really curious about the Livorno players' high jersey numbers. They started with only
Nico Pulzetti sporting a single digit number. It reminded me of a spring training baseball team
loaded with minor leaguers trying to make the big squad. The game featured lots of end to end
action in this game, and the teams were relatively evenly matched, save for two players: Gianlugi
Buffon and Mauro Camoranesi.

Let's start by saying that Roberto Baronio isn't exactly a household name in Italian calcio. The
casual fan may not even know who Roberto Baronio is or what position he plays (Baronio is a classic
regista that plays in front of the defense and dictates the play. His passing skills are excellent,
especially his long passing, and he is good at set pieces).

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.
