AC Milan’s Attacking Renaissance

Robinho and Ibrahimovic line up alongside Pato and Ronaldinho in a mouth-watering attacking prospect that’s quickly becoming the talk of European football. Just imagine Ibra and Pato leading the line imperiously at the San Siro with Robinho and Ronaldinho dropping off to support and surge through. It’s the stuff of legend and we’re not the only ones who think AC‘s new look attack boosts their chances of silverware.

New Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, whose side share Champions League Group G with Auxerre, Ajax and AC Milan, fears the world class talents of Robinho and Ibrahimovic could combine to form a lethal partnership with Ronaldinho and Pato that even his notoriously stingy defensive tactics cannot counter. Mourinho, who knows a thing or two about winning in Italy and in Europe said to the Gazzetta dello Sport, “with Ibrahimovic and Robinho, this is another Milan… Robinho and Ibrahimovic are among the best in the world. Certainly Milan is much stronger than it was a year ago.” Rarely will Mourinho lavish words of praise on the opposition, and when he does you can’t just ignore it.
