Milan -Udinese Player Rating

Here the player rating from Udinese vs AC milan

Handanovic: 7.0- After conceding five goals to Milan earlier in the season, the towering Slovenian international had only a handful of saves to make this evening although he will be disappointed about not being able to keep a clean sheet.

Isla: 6.5- A calm and composed performance by the Chilean defender who had something of a relaxing evening as Flamini and Jankulovski were unable to make too many forward runs.

Zapata: 8.0- The Colombian stalwart patrolled the back line with the expertise of a four-star General, and even chipped in with a goal. What more can you ask from your centre-back?

Felipe: 7.0- Did an admirable job of policing the centre of the defence alongside Zapata. Did not give Pato a sniff of goal all evening long.

Pasquale: 7.0- He was having a sensational match until he was booked for a late tackle on Kaka in the 25th minute and he petered off a bit. Still earned his paycheque with a solid performance.

Inler: 7.0- A plethora of clubs are vying for his services and it’s easy to tell why as he did all of the dirty work without fuss or complaint this evening.

D’Agostino: 8.0- Could be the most in form player in Serie A at the moment and continued his torrid goalscoring streak with his sixth goal in his last five matches.

Asamoah: 6.5- The Ghanaian midfielder did all that was asked of him tonight and was the catalyst of some lightning-quick Udinese counterattacks.

Pepe: 7.0- Showed some flashes of brilliance out on the wing and his free-kick deliveries were dangerous this evening.

Quagliarella: 7.0- Will he stay or will he go? The Udinese faithful hope he will stay put although he could not buy a goal this evening. Was robbed by Dida on a couple of occasions and hit the post late on.

Floro Flores: 7.0- Was very fortunate to win a penalty for his team as it looked like he lost his balance on his own, but nonetheless he looked dangerous whenever he touched the ball, and gave Senderos fits this evening.

SUBS: Sanchez (72”) 6.5, Obodo (84”) 6.0, Lukovic (87”) NA


AC MILAN

Dida: 7.0- The much-maligned goalkeeper made some wonderful saves to keep the scoreline respectable. No chance on either goal.

Zambrotta: 5.0- The Italian international was anonymous for long stretches of the game and looked like he didn’t want anything to do with tonight’s match. A big disappointment.

Maldini: 6.0- The old Italian warhorse was a step behind the Udinese forwards all evening long and conceded the penalty which opened the scoring.

Senderos: 6.0- The clumsy Swiss defender did not have the necessary pace to keep up with Pepe and Floro Flores tonight.

Jankulovski: 6.0- Did not manage to gallop forward as he usually does and did not give his side any options in attack on the left flank.

Flamini: 6.0- Was handed a midfield role this evening but could not make any kind of impact on the match and was sacrificed for Pipo Inzaghi.

Pirlo: 5.0- Was guilty of giving away possession much too easily in the early going and played like a shadow of his former self.

Ambrosini: 6.5- Took a shameful flop inside of the area in an attempt to win a penalty in the second half but managed to grab a late consolation goal.

Seedorf: 5.0- The Dutchman was predictable whenever he received the ball and lacked the vision to be an effective force tonight. Was jeered by the Milan travelling supporters when he was substituted in the 60th minute.

Kaka: 6.0- Was able to run at the Udinese back-line on a couple of occasions and had a chance before the half-time whistle but could not muster up anything dangerous until deep into injury time when he provided the cross that set up Ambrosini’s goal.

Pato: 5.0- The Brazilian starlet was disappointing as he did not come close to troubling Handanovic this evening.

SUBS: Inzaghi (46”) 5.0, Ronaldinho (60”) 6.0, Shevchenko (73”) 5.5

Milan kalah dari Udinese, Inter Pantas Juara

Milan kalah, Inter Berpesta....
Skuad Inter Milan langsung melakukan pesta setelah AC Milan menelan kekalahan dari Udinese. Sementara di tengah kota Milan, para fans Inter pun sudah mulai berpesta.

Tempat latihan Inter di Pinetina langsung ramai pada hari Sabtu (16/5/2009) malam wakitu setempat, setelah wasit yang memimpin laga Udinese vs Milan meniupkan peluit panjang. Para pemain, pelatih dan presiden Inter melakukan pesta kecil atas sukses mereka meraih Scudetto.

Kekalahan Milan atas Udinese memastikan I Nerazzurri merebut gelar juara tanpa perlu bermain. Mourinho pun menerima skuadnya merayakan sukses tersebut meski hari telah larut.

"Saya sedikit marah, dalam pantauan saya tim seharusnya pergi ke tempat tidur. Mereka memutuskan untuk melakukan selebrasi dan saya mengerti keinginan mereka," ujar Mourinho seperti dilansir Reuters.

Presiden Inter Massimo Moratti pun bergabung bersama para pemainnya untuk merayakan kesuksesan Inter menjadi juara Seri A empat kali berturut-turut. Para fans juga mendatangi komplek latihan tersebut.

Perayaan juga dilakukan oleh para Internisti di Piazza Duomo di tengah kota Milan. Mereka bernyanyi dan juga menggelar bendera raksasa Inter guna merayakan keberhasilan skuadnya meraih gelar Scudetto ke-17 kalinya

Meski belum bermain Inter Milan telah memastikan merebut gelar Scudetto. Hal itu menyusul kekalahan pesaingnya, AC Milan, dari Udinese dengan skor 0-2.

Kekalahan tersebut membuat Milan sudah tak mungkin mengejar poin Inter karena dengan sisa dua pertandingan saja mereka telah terpaut tujuh angka. Itu tidak termasuk jika nanti malam Nerazzurri meraih poin saat berhadapan dengan Siena di Giuseppe Meazza.

Dengan demikian pertandingan tengah malam nanti akan lebih menjadi pesta Inter untuk merayakan suksesnya menjadi juara Italia empat musim berturut-turut, atau yang ke-17 secara keseluruhan.

Bermain di kandangnya sendiri Udinese sudah menekan sejak menit-menit awal. Mereka pun memetik buahnya dengan memperoleh hadiah penalti di menit 31, menyusul pelanggaran Paolo Maldini terharap Antonio Floro Flores. Gaetano D'Agostino melakukan tugasnya sebagai eksekutor dan membuat Udinese memimpin.

Gol kedua Udinese juga terjadi karena kelengahan lini belakang Milan mengantisipasi bola sepak pojok. Cristian Zapata yang mendapatkan bola segera menuntaskannya dengan mengarahkan bola ke tiang jauh di menit ke-49.

Milan terlambat untuk bangkit. Massimo Ambrosini baru dapat mencetak gol di menit-menit akhir pertandingan dan itu tidak cukup bagi Milan menunda pesta kemenangan Inter.

Susunan Pemain:

Udinese: Handanovic; Isla, Zapata, Felipe, Pasquale; Inler, D'Agostino (Obodo 84), Asamoah; Pepe (Lukovic 87), Quagliarella, Floro Flores (Sanchez 73)

Milan: Dida; Zambrotta, Senderos, Maldini, Jankulovski; Flamini (Inzaghi 46), Pirlo, Ambrosini; Seedorf (Ronaldinho 60); Kaka, Pato (Shevchenko 73)

Milan 1 - Udinese 1 , Inter Scudetto !!!!!

It finished Udinese-Milan 2-1, in the second anticipated match of the 36th matchday of Serie A at the Stadio Friuli of Udine. After D'Agostino's penalty goal in the 31st minute of the first half, Zapata made it 2-0 in the 49th minute, and Massimo Ambrosini made it 2-1 with a header from Ambrosini.

At the Friuli stadium Milan face Udinese to gain the three points to access mathematically the next Champions League. The formation is the usual one with two strikers plus the playmaker, Dida between the posts, after missing the match against Juventus; defence with Zambrotta, Senderos, Maldini and Jankulovski; in midfield, Flamini, Pirlo, and Ambrosini; up front, supported by Seedorf, Kaká and Pato who started again after almost a month. Inzaghi started from the bench, as did Ronaldinho and Shevchenko. Captain Maldini celebrated his 900th match with Milan's shirt.

As for Udinese, coach Pasquale Marino preferred Floro Flores to Sanchez. For the rest, compared to the pre-match expectations, 10 players out of 11 were confirmed in the Bianconeri's formation with Handanovic, Isla, Zapata, Felipe (who returned after skipping the match with Lazio), Pasquale, Inler, D'Agostino, Asamoah, Pepe, Quagliarella, and Floro Flores.

In the early stages of the first half there were few chances at the Friuli. In the 16th minute chance for Milan, after a series of passes in the area, rounded off by Pato's header for Ambrosini who shot it wide. In the 19th minute a nice turn and shot by Inler, deflected for a corner by the Rossoneri's defence. In the 22nd minute there was some danger for the Milan goal, with Quagliarella's header blocked in two attempts by Dida. In the 30th minute referee Rizzoli awarded a very debatable penalty to Udinese for an alleged tug by Maldini on Floro Flores. D'Agostino took the penalty and did not miss: the ball went under the crossbar to Dida's right, and for the Udinese playmaker it was the sixth goal in the last six games. The first half ended on a slow rhythm, with an overly inert Milan unable to make themselves dangerous.

A change for Milan at the start of the second half: Inzaghi in for Flamini, Seedorf retreats in midfield, Kaká moves behind the strikers in the playmaker's position.

But immediately at the start of the second half (4') came the cold shower for the Rossoneri thanks to Zapata's readiness, as he poked the ball in from close range after a corner kick move and an involuntary assist by Maldini. Just before, a dubious episode in the Friulani's area: Pato played it in for Ambrosini who fell, but Rizzoli said play on. Before that, Pepe hit a free kick that went inches wide.

In the 15th minute Inzaghi scored but it was clearly offside and then came a second change for Milan: Seedorf out, Ronaldinho in to compose a highly offensive 4-2-3-1, with Kaká on the right, Pato on the left, and the Gaucho in the center behind Superpippo. In the 20th minute a nice run by D'Agostino, who won the ball in midfield and made a run towards Dida's goal: the Brazilian blocked it, not without problems.

In the 28th minute third and last change for Milan, with Shevchenko taking the place of Pato, and the first for Udinese: Floro Flores out, Sanchez in. The final part of the match was exciting: the Rossoneri pushed, in injury time Inzaghi came very close to scoring, then Ambrosini scored with a splendid header on an assist by Kaká, and a few seconds later Quagliarella also hit the post. It finished 2-1 for Udinese and Milan's positive run, that started on 8 March, came to an end.
