yet another struggle !!!

So we are nearing the end of yet another seria a season, and yet again the rosoneris find themselves mid table struggling for the champions league place next season, even though superpippo handed them a last gasp winner last night against palermo to move them to fourth place ahead of fiorentina on goal difference, there is no denying that the rosoneris have really struggled this season. They huffed and puffed there way to fourth place after christmas break, before which they were languishing in lower nooks of the table . The pato signing in the winter transfer window really came as a breath of fresh air to the milan campaign, after so much hype surrounding the 17 year old, the kid has really lived up to it, although he has a along way to go, before being counted in the top strikers of europe or even the world, but there is no denying the guy's talent (what is with these south american "child proteges" !!! they keep springing up!!!). As usual, milan have been going strong in the champions league, not withstanding a hard fought draw at emirates. For past couple of seasons milan has really become a "one cup team" of sorts, which is not such a good development for a club like milan, they really have to get their act together next season. Influx of someone like zambrottaa will ceratainly help milan in bolstering the aging defence, also most probably Borriello will be back next season, after his troubled time at milan, he has really come back strongly, being the second highest goal scorer in seria a for genoa. Every one will definietely be looking forward "ARSENAL vs AC MILAN PART2", and if the first leg was anything to go by , it will surely be a treat to watch, although going into the second leg milan will have the advantage, obviously of playing at home in the intimidating atmosphere of san siro and also because carlo ancelotti can rest his players because milan are playing for only one trophy this season, so just hoping everything turns out well for the rosoneris .

Good write up. Pato, would hopefully be a long-term Milanista. And Im also surprised at Borriello's display this season. 2 hat-tricks and now the top scorer of the league.
