DAY 2 OFFICIAL THREAD - RUSSIAN RAILWAYS CUP
Russian Railways Cup
By Since66
August 3 2008
The 2nd day of competition in the Russian Railways Cup kicks-off in less than an hour with Chelsea playing AC Milan for the third place finish. I think it is safe to say that the organisers would have like this to be the final.
AC Milan lost to Sevilla 1-0, Gattuso scoring an own goal and after a 1-1 draw, Chelsea were beaten 5-4 on pens by the hosts Lokomotiv Moscow.
Today Chelsea face a strong Milan team, including Paolo Maldini who seems to go on forvever and forever and he his a pure example of player loyalty as he has spent all of his career with The Rossoneri. Kaka (a constant reported Chelsea target is another player to watch out for, although it is reported that Kaka is suffering from tendonitis and may not feature today. Pirlo is another player to watch out for as is Milan's midfield general, Gennaro Gattuso. AC and Chelsea have met before in pre-season where one team has a victory each and the third game ended in a 1-1 draw, but the games that everybody remembers well are the games in the 1999/00 Champions League campaign where Chelsea and AC drew 0-0 at The Bridge (probably the best 0-0 ever) and that memorable night in the San Siro, when Dennis Wise scored THAT goal.

DAY 2 OFFICIAL THREAD - RUSSIAN RAILWAYS CUP
I think you are right - they would have preferred us and Milan as the final - trouble is fitness wise, ourselves and Milan were behind their previous opponents (although we should have won with the chances we had in the 2nd half anyway).
Will be an interesting match.
There´s a lot going on in London at the moment; Van de Vaart is with Hamburg for the Emirates Cup as are Real Madrid - they should sign him this weekend which in turn means that we will sign Robinho immediately afterwards (thats my theory anyway!).
.
"It is born out of hypocrisy and fundamental insecurity. There have been two kids on the block for the past 12 years. Suddenly, there is a third and that one is threatening to be more successful than the others and they don’t like it." P Kenyon.

Great start!
Milan are weakened and don´t have a recognised striker.
Scolari has also been "kind" in starting with no Carvalho, Essien or Deco and it´s worhtwhile trying out other players at this stage of the season.
Ivanovich on the right - good to see something of him.
Great finish by Anelka - first goal was a bit fortunate!

I´m just wondering if that first goal was an own goal from Flamini?! Certainly Flamini didn´t help with the 3rd goal with that dodgy pass to his defender.
We MIGHT have to take our foot off the pedal a bit - maybe even give Sheva and Di Santo a run out earlier than expected otherwise this could be a bit embarrassing for Milan.

Scolari will make his wholesale changes as he already has in the last four games.
Anelka swapped shirts with Maldini on the way back to the dressing room.

Good little workout for us and nice to win so comprehensively.
2 weeks before the season starts - maybe one more match (behind closed doors at Cobham)?
Good to see Scott come on - and a nice little run and cross from him.

It does seem strange that we haven't got another game until the season opener - you could be right about a behind closed door game at Cobham.
Great win regardless of AC's
problems lack of players, strikers notably and good to see Anelka rattling the goals in today.
Perfect hat-trick!!!
