  2. Dunga was fantastic in the words of support to­ Ronaldinho. Criticism teem to be constructive and not­ destructive, and moreover without foundation. I have­ followed the games for Milan and he is not bad as they­ say. He is in good shape physically has made good­ passes that put the fellow in the face of goal. In my­ opinion he just need a goal to sharpen.

  3. 45 minutes? No. But is enough to win a game and­ Ronaldinho does not need so much time. The defense of­ Bari is very strong and will be a good test as I said­ earlier. The Serie A is starting now and there are­ alaways good perspectives for a team like Milan.

  4. 45 minutes of good football do not get a call-up.

  5. Milan will have a midfield very strong. It will be a­ big test for the attack because the defense of Bari is­ very strong compared to other sectors (midfield and­ attack) of the team. But I think with Gattuso, Seedorf,­ Pirlo and Ronaldinho at the apex offensive Milan will­ not create good changes. Follow the games and you will­ see that Ronaldinho is in good shape since the begining­ of these season. Forza Milan
