The draw against Torino has been the only thing that partially ruined our perfect month! We played 8 matches and we won 7: we are doing better every month passes! And I am near to win my second consecutive Scudetto in two years on Milan’s bench… It’s a dream coming true!
SERIE A RESULTS
San Siro, Milano, 02/02/2014 - Match Day 22
MILAN - Catania 2 - 1
The month began with a difficult match: Catania is always a tough team to face. We needed almost an hour to find the first goal thanks to
Maxime Gonalons, then the goal by
Mbaye Niang gave us the two-goal lead. We had to suffer a little bit as we took a goal 5 mins before the end of the match, but we could take home an important win.
Stadio Olimpico, Roma, 02/05/2014 - Match Day 23
Lazio - MILAN 0 - 2
The match against the 2nd in the league! Ok, they were 17 points behind us, but the importance of the match was still great! The guys knew that and gave a solid performance on the pitch, obtaining a solid 2-0 win that took us up to 18 points over Juventus, which became 2nd.
San Siro, Milano, 02/09/2014 - Match Day 24
MILAN - Sampdoria 2 - 0
A dominated match against the Blucerchiati, even if the score does not seem to say that: we needed a penalty (scored by
Falcao) to obtain the lead in the match, and we could close it only during the injury time thanks to a goal by
Antonio Nocerino, but we really deserved the win attacking the whole match and giving no goal chances to our opponents.
Stadio Olimpico, Torino, 02/14/2014 - Match Day 25
Torino - MILAN 0 - 0
With no doubts the worst match of the month! Torino controlled us till the 41st minute, when
Christian Trasch decided to take the second yellow card in less than 20 mins! I was furious against him! The guys could avoid taking goals, but we ended with a 0-0 draw that did not completely satisfy me: for sure the deep turnover I applied due to the incoming UCL match was an important factor, but the guys had to to better…
Artemio Franchi, Firenze, 02/22/2014 - Match Day 26
Fiorentina - MILAN 0 - 3
A really amazing performance by the guys! We scored three times in the first hour, taking a three goals lead that, helped by the red card given by the ref to
Gonzalo Rodriguez, we could hold on till the end of the match.
San Siro, Milano, 03/01/2014 - Match Day 27
MILAN - Empoli 1 - 0
A surprising match, because even if Empoli is fighting for avoiding relegation, they played wonderfully and we could only managed to obtain a strict 1-0 victory thanks to the goal by
Stevan Jovetic.
This great month let us fly up to a 22 points lead over Lazio with 11 matches still to play: we are really close to be the champions, we have to stay focused!
UCL RESULTS
Philips Stadion, Eindhoven, 02/18/2014 - 1st Knockout Round, Leg 1
PSV - MILAN 2 - 3
An incredible match, really great for us and our supporters! We ended with a close 3-2 victory against a team that realizes to be very difficult to be faced, with some interesting individualities. But the guys played wonderfully and even if the unlucky own goal by
Lisandro Lopez made us suffer till the final whistle, we put ourselves in a good position to fly to the next round!
MAN OF THE MONTH
Stevan Jovetic
I would like to award
Stevan this month: this is an award that arises not only from the solid performances with 2 goals scored this month, but from the whole important season he is playing for us this year.
NEXT MONTH
The most important fixture of the next month will be for sure the second leg against PSV, while in the league we have to be aware of the difficulty of the match against Napoli, that is a really solid side, especially in San Paolo.
