Milan have admitted that they are on the verge of signing Marcio Amoroso. "If he passes a medical he will sign," said Vice-President Adriano Galliani.
That admission came after last night's Coppa Italia match at Brescia as Milan produced their second straight 4-3 win, after achieving the same feat over Parma at the weekend, and are clearly not finding goals hard to come by at present.
However, with Christian Vieri now departed for foreign shores, Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti has just three big name strikers in his squad and Galliani moved to confirm that a fourth was on the way.
"If Amoroso passes a medical tomorrow he will sign," said the Milan chief, before revealing his concern at his side’s inability to keep goals out at present. "If we conceded a few goals less we would be happier."
Ancelotti also gave a good reaction to the Brazilian hitman who he admitted having no idea was arriving two days ago.
"He’s a great striker," he said. "He proved that in Italy and he can make another great contribution for Milan."
Carletto decided to use the Brescia match to run the rule over Filippo Inzaghi, who played the first half alongside Andriy Shevchenko and the second with Alberto Gilardino.
Although Superpippo did score in the first half it was Manuel Rui Costa who did his selection chances no harm at all with two goals and two assists against the Serie B side.
The former Parma and Juve Coach was pleased with both the Portuguese midfielder’s performance and that of Inzaghi, but not quite so happy with the sort of defending that prompted President Silvio Berlusconi to suggest recently that Milan would also be attempting to find a new player to stiffen up the back four this month.
"I saw a positive reaction, we got though to the next round and now we can concentrate on the League," he said. "It certainly isn’t good to ship three goals a game, but it seems that is what it takes for us at the moment.
"Rui Costa played excellently and so did Inzaghi," added the Rossoneri Coach. "We are at a good stage in our preparation and we just need to keep getting results."
Brescia Coach Rolando Maran said his side initially struggled to cope with the icy conditions before finding their feet and their poise.
"The important thing was not to get thrashed," he said. "I saw some good signs for our League campaign. We tried to show that we were up to the task although it was always going to be hard to go through.
"I played some players who haven’t featured much and some youngsters," added Maran.
"The ice on the pitch resulted in some unforced errors and we were made to pay for a poor first half-hour – but we will learn from that in future games.
"Next up is Catania, who have won seven out of eight matches," continued the Rondinelle tactician. "It won’t be easy but we will try to get points from them." |
