The Reason I Love AC Milan

.
I’ve being told that my posts are getting shorter and shorter, in fact it’s getting lazier and lazier… LOL.

Alright, today I’m gonna talk about my favorite football club.

Whenever each and every time a new friend asked me about which football team that I support and I’ll not hesitant to tell him that I love
AC Milan.

But how and when do I get started to support
AC Milan?

To answer this question, I must backtrack to my golden school days. I’m actually a fan of
Oliver Bierhoff. Although he’s not a very famous nor outstanding player yet he still attracts my attention.

He was then a striker in AC Milan by that time, quite an interesting partnership with
George Weah during 1998 – 2000. Both of them were my best combination in my championship manager computer game. From the game step by step, I’m being exposed to every single player inside the Milan squad. Then I’m slowly got in love with Milan.

While everyone was screaming madly for kaka, I still think that there are still a lot of players heavily contributed to the club. Just to name a few, for example, like
Cafu, Thomas Helveg, Rui Costa, Clarence Seedorf, Massimo Ambrosini, Alessandro Costacurta, Serginho, Kakha Kaladze, Leonardo, Zvonimir Boban.

Yes, I’m just highlighting those low profile players that really deserved our respect.

In order to materialize the dream of every Milan fan, Eugene and I visited San Siro during my first year in UK. We got ourselves a pair of match ticket for Milan vs Empoli. That was my first and only Serie A live match. Italian football environment is rather different from EPL one, besides that it was way cheaper to watch football in italy. Supporters in Italy are able to bring in fireworks, huge ass banners, sing and shout as loud as possible.

It was a Sunday afternoon game and the stadium was packed with spectators, we were seated in the neutral zone or rather “tourist” zone. In fact I couldn’t recall much that happen on that day since it was more than four years ago. I’ll let the pictures to do the talking.

I’ve update to Milan official song and on for a week long to celebrate their first win in the new season. Hahahaha.

The hardcore Milan Fan.


No wonder they're so cool.


Flares were already up before the game start.

Another neutral or tourist zone.




The final score, it was a penalty.
