I can't believe there isn't a thread for this cracker wich already takes place on tuesday.
Well after having fried those little devils I know it is almost impossible at the moment to focus on tuesday's very important match but we have to, as this is probably our biggest game so far this season, even bigger than the Bbilan game with our CL adventure still at risk even after our victory two weeks ago. If we lose this one it could have a huge impact on the rest of our season!
With Chino out, Ibra and Hernan tired after yesterday's battlefield, Vieira suffering a injury this match comes way to early and wouldn't it have been great if we could have secured our CL qualification instead of this being our do or die game. It will be a real tough one cause we will be playing on a difficult field in Russia wich isn't the best place to travel for such important games, also expect the weather to be ice cold so it could turn out to be a nightmare, and being honest I haven't got a great feeling about this game after seeing how tired our players were yesterday. Also they will basically have no rest, as the team probably will leave today or tommorow morning for Moscow wich is far away from Milano.
With all those injuries suffered, I really would have loved to have Adri as he would have been a useful option but lets hope the strikers grit there teeth and come up with a good performance. Vieira will not make it as he picked up that knock wich is a HUGE blow with Cambi also out.
So me expecting this line-up
Julio Cesar
Maicon - Cordoba - Materazzi - J. Zanetti
Figo - Stankovic - Dacourt - Solari
Crespo - Ibrahimovic
We also could see Grosso instead of J.Z with the great one moving in to midfield in place of Santi, while Cruz could also start instead of Hernan.
We better win this one as our CL hope is in the balance, but be prepared for a roller-coaster cause this match is very very very difficult. I would sign for a 1-0 as that would be a great result, with the 0 - 3 in mind wich we suffered in the 2003/2004 season also in Moscow but against Lokomotiv.
