GIORNATA 2 AC MILAN vs INTER MILAN 29-08-2009

Player Ratings: AC Milan 0–4 Inter

AC Milan

Storari: 6- He kept the scoreline respectable in the first half when Inter threatened to put five or six on the board. Conceded four goals but made a couple of world class saves as well.

Zambrotta: 5- Looks as if he has lost a step or two as he was anonymous for large chunks of the match.

Nesta: 6- Made numerous impeccably-timed tackles in the first 30 minutes before he was overrun by Milito and Eto’o.

Thiago Silva: 5- Appeared in his first Milan derby and was left shell-shocked by an Inter attack that hit the Rossoneri with four goals in a 37 minute span.

Jankulovski: 5- The Czech full-back spent most of his time dealing with the runs of Maicon and could not push forward as much as he would have liked.

Gattuso: 4- Wore the captain’s armband but let the team down by conceding a penalty and then picking up his marching orders only minutes later. An absolutely disastrous performance tonight.

Pirlo: 5.5- It was a static and sluggish display by the Italian international who could not find the pass in the final third of the pitch to unlock the Inter defence.

Flamini: 5- Picked up an early yellow card and was rendered pretty much ineffective after that. Substituted at the half-way mark to make way for Ambrosini.

Ronaldinho: 5- The former World Player of the Year missed a glorious chance early on to give Milan the lead and never really troubled the Inter back four. Much more was expected of him after the display at Siena and he did not rise to the occasion this evening. Was jeered off the pitch tonight.

Borriello: 5- Another disappointing performance from the striker, who was hooked at the half for his ineffective display.

Pato: 6- The Brazilian starlet showed flashes of his brilliant pace at times but did not receive any service to pose a real threat to the Inter backline.
