Galliani
is working hard to avoid the problems other teams are
facing by anticipating all contract extensions. All the
players are happy at Milan and are renewing their contracts.
The latest signatures came from massimo Ambrosini, who
even refused Real Madrid, and signed till end 2006 and
Clarence Seedorf who signed till June 2008.
Milan
again defeated Roma at the Olimpico in a quasi-hot tempered
match. Two superbly taken goals from a Nesta header and
a tomason brilliant move saw milan go ahead early in the
second half and half an unassailable lead. Anceloti then
even played young Boriello to give him another try. Only
ugly note was a muscle injury to Ambrosini. Milan play
Llazio in the semi finals.

Milan
kept abreast with the preceedings by beating Brescia in
a high tension game where Brescia's tactics played havoc
with Milan. Both teams never gained control of the match
and surely it was decided by an episode when pancaro found
the ball on his head from a corner move. Two minutes later
Kaka could have sealed it but his shot hit the crossbar.
Milan's so
called second string formation still proved too much for
Roma in the first leg of the Coppa Italia encounters.
Redondo had a marvellous game as did Brocchi. The match
was also a welcome return for Nesta who came back from
a knee operation just 38 days ago to play a near perfect
match. Ambrosini's merited winner came in injury time
after a beautiful Redondo/Serginho move on the left saw
goalkeeper Zotti clear into the path of Ambrosini, who
easily netted home the winner. The retuen leg is at the
olimpico next Thursday.

Milan sign Kamara for June 2004
Milan
have obtained the services of striker Kamara from Modena
as from next June 2004. Milan on their part will help
Modena secure Makinwa from Como.
Milan
played a superb match and made Roma suffer their first
defeat of the season even though playing at the Olimpico
Stadium. Shevchenko could easily have scored a hatrick
but missed several sitters towards the end of the match.
Roma's goal was very controversial since paparesta had
given three extra minutes. After the third minute Roma
had a corner from which they scored. Milan protested but
to no avail.
