Bologna V Milan

A hard fought win for Milan, but after their opening game which they lost, this comes as a mighty relief for the Coach and players. Giampaolo Pazzini scored a hat trick on his full debut in the colours of AC Milan, yet it wasn't as easy as the score line leads you to believe!

Milan may have had the lions share of possession, yet Bologna or should I say Alessandro Diamanti were confident that they could cause some trouble to this depleted Milan side who had arguably lost their best players in Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. All the headline in Italy will be praising Pazzini but what they have to remember is that Ibrahimovic did not only score goals, he also helped make them and held the ball up with his huge stature. Pazzini on the other hand does not provide that creativeness and doesn't have the strength to hold up the ball, hence his first goal which came about from a soft penalty, and his second goal came about because of a goalkeeping error, for the third goal I do admit took a little fines, yet I do question whether the Rosonerri need a player like him- he is rather whiny!
