The AC Milan and Juve Old Lady disconnect with a performance just 0:0, the Rossoneri may unfortunately also in the 9th One after another home run in no points (only in the 1934-35 season, there were countless victorious with 8 home games once something similar). And it would be a victory against the historical rivals posted the Champions League winner and a little air initial spark for the necessary catching up in the league can provide. Instead, it's a rather strange game memorable circumstances. 76,000 spectators crowd in the Giuseppe Meazza, the northern curve is for organized block away fans, while in the Südkurve the central blocks of the 2nd Fancorner Rank out of solidarity with the on a highway rest stop under dubious circumstances by a policeman shot Rome-Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri remains free. Except for two banners, "Gabriele presente" ( "Gabriele is here") and "by Gabriele Justice" ( "justice for Gabriele"), only an empty space - no choreography, no pyrotechnics, no heated battle chants against the Haßgegner. Only very rarely in the course of the game raises the curve from the lethargy of this dreary, dreary December evening, and leaves with a thunder guess what opposing teams in this stadium normally expected. In return it then, despite the ban came into the stadium and quite stimmgewaltigen Juventini with voice choirs against the order conspicuously absent guardians ( "assassini") and the throwing of objects on the Pressetribnüne noticeable.

Otherwise, no hatred, no violence, no joke, not an unconditional victory will - friendly atmosphere both on the sidelines, as well as on the pitch. Significantly, as Pippo Inzaghi after his Einwechslung for rackernden Gilardino harmless but once the Juventus defense abklatscht series. Ancellotti surprised with the establishment of Europe's Footballer of the Year, "Pallone d'Oro," Kakà in the front line almost at the same height with only nominal peak, Alberto Gilardino - behind Zeedorf as a ball distributor. Serginho is on the square of Paolo Maldini on the left outer rail from the start to the game. On the other hand, Ranieri surprised with the ex-Bayern Salihamidzic in the starting formation.

Juventus, free from any international commitments and last in the league bears heavily, researchers go into this game as the visibly tired and plays acting Milan professionals. Under clearly inadequate space conditions - the players are researching turns partly on the series trouser ground, especially the rather less inspired Pavel Nedved today can no longer sit - develops a maximum mid-game with advantages in midfield for Juventus against AC Milan, the Fehlpässe unterliefen as much as I do in this stadium together, have not yet seen. Respectful distance from the opponent ahnend, always in doubt, the safe return pass prefer pushes Milan game is very lethargic through the midfield - interrupted by more or less successful on the steep mountain passes both right and left in the top starting Kakà. But each of these has been lovingly by the very attentive defense received. Gattuso shows aggression only in fruitless discussions with arbitration and line judges to Einwürfe or Eckstöße. The greatest chance for Juve thwarted the pole placed against a shot by Trezeguet (11), Zanetti of an intelligent Steilpaß in scene was set. On the opposite side is carefully Buffon against a free kick from Pirlo to centrally under the bar.

The second half should be little pressure for the full House Gentlemen, the 4-4-2 system from the locker room and try more speed in their game to get. Juve remains dangerously accounts, it saves Dida with a wonderful parade against Salihamidzic, the dreamy Serginho on the left can, and moves inwards with a strong link shot concludes. Milan, now a little livelier, responding immediately with a nice flank by Oddo from the right to Kakà, whose shot is parried by Buffon - After the shot turns Gilardino offside. Milan will now alert, it would certainly become schönses game when the referee while holding Legrottalie against Gilardino had decided on penalty. Ancellotti brings the trump card Inzaghi, Ranieri crowd favorite Alex del Piero. For the overwhelmed acting Serginho is still eingewechselt Paolo Maldini, Bonera's defense on the other side for Massimo Oddo. Inzaghi, the Chiellini in the interior defense significantly more than the headache often on the external dive Gilardino, then also the last chance of the game, but may be nearing conclusion from the right against the attentive Buffon not prevail.

All in all, a performance-oriented draw, the few Torchancen by the excellent on this evening issued gatekeepers nullified. Derby atmosphere right after the events of the past few weeks anyway, when the tired "Diavoli" is noticeable that all efforts attack was very anxious, not even catch a home defeat. Juventus is satisfied with the Auswärtsunentschieden, won in this game but only Lokalrivale Interactive, which now has the opportunity, the distance to the pursuer to enlarge. Juventus is yet again failed, one of the "big" teams to beat and Milan farewell to plans for greater this season.

And one more remark at the end. I always get requests for tickets for the Milan game. Because of increased regulations and safety precautions, I can not really even worry about it. But if their cards for top games of the Champions League or the Italian Serie A looks, then ask for Michele at times:
