Nothing could be worse than watching your two goals lead equalized by a team having just ten players on the field. This is something that happened with AC Milan who gained two goals initial lead yet they could not earn full points coz their host successfully followed their lead and ended the game in a 2-2- draw. Milan was hoping to earn full points just for making it sure they will end up their Serie A campaign with a second place, but Fiorentina capitalized their two late penalties and equalized the game. Milan was on target right from the beginning when former Viola midfielder Riccardo Montolivo scored first goal of the game in the 14th minutes. Their initial lead also cemented by a red card to Nenad Tomovic in the 39th minute and reduced their opponent’s strength significantly. Within one hour, Frenchman Mathieu Flamini enhanced their lead by another goal; now things were very much in Rossoneri control until Adem Ljajic and David Pizarro could manage to equalize their edge in the … [Read more...]

On one occasion he presented himself as a best player in the world while most of the other times, he proved to be just a normal player. City spent more than £24million in 2011 to buy this high profile player from Arsenal, and, indeed, he proved his worth in the first season, but after that his strike rate started diminishing. His lack of afford is more critical than his ability to score, this is what Manchester City’s boss Roberto Mancini thinks about the Frenchman. In most of the previous matches, except Saturday’s tie with Newcastle United, his gameplay has rather been a cold show from a superstar and this is something that is making his boss angry.
