Devo tradurlo... | (From Dec. 18. Never posted, dunno why.) Got a much needed dose of Inzaghi last night. The match against Wolfsburg was pretty fun, ended 2-2, and the commentators, while vastly better than the ones who comment Italy's matches, were still such owls. "Oh, if they end with a draw they'll have to play the Champions' washouts, who are strong." Er... AC Milan IS a Champions' washout. They'll meet their peers. I guess it's wimpy to wish for a weaker team. Watching it made me remember a dream I had the other night. In reality, I had spent the evening in bookshops with friends, and I had quickly averted my eyes from the Cassano autobiography, who is not one of my favourite persons (polite euphemism). I don't even know where he plays. Well, that night I dreamed AC Milan had bought it (I mean HIM - Freudian slip), and since in the dream I was on friendly terms with the team, he kept being around me and saying "Let's hang out." Ew. So I kept spying the AC Milan ranks for fear of seeing him. Some random notes which came to me while I was watching. Inzaghi was pretty, but Ambrosini with shorter hair wasn't bad either, and Sheva, Pirlo, Zambrotta... I can't list them all. Are there ugly guys in AC Milan? If there are, I don't know their names. And who did Maldini (who did not play) kill and drank his/her blood to look that way at 40? And am I being wicked or did I spot red highlights in many players' hair? Surely Pirlo's. Dida, instead, seems to have used Ronaldo's cure for baldness. Ew. Shave it off, Dida. Let's try to talk soccer. Did Sheva undergo some sort of Commando training? (Yeah, soccer.) He was tripped, flew in the air for several yards and landed with a perfect shoulder roll instead of flattening his face. The Wolfsburg coach appeared with his hands under his nose and a weird smile, he has a friendly enough face but right then I expected him to say "Excellent!" Aren't our own chronic cases enough? Why the hell must we buy all these big names who are ALREADY broken? Do we get a discount for them? Ronaldo, Senderos... Is there a market for second-hand players, just to get some money back? Or can we do good for the Earth by recycling them into ecologic paper? I'm waiting to see in what way Beckham (my red-lights quarter neighbour) will deflagrate. I'm always vastly surprised when I realize that San Siro is just a few miles from my home. "The weather is a bit cold but it does not rain." Oh, just like here! Uh... wait... I thought the square lettering on AC Milan's shirts was awful - people might have thought we had a player named 0000 - but the Wolfsburg cursive was the worst lettering I've ever seen. It looked like everybody was called "row of little curls". "Ambrosini is expecting his first child." Oh dear, is it safe to play in his conditions?... ==; "The first part of the match against Juventus was good, but then they ran into some difficulties, in fact they lost." Yeah, that's a pretty big difficulty. But the best comment I ever heard during a match (don't remember which) was: "See those balls rolling in mid-field? Those are Inzaghi's balls." |
