Sheva got injuried on face during the match of Macedonia vs Ukraine. There was a fear of a broken nose. Fortunately, he was diagnosed having ‘a nasal trauma’ but there was no evidence of a fracture. Thank God!
And I have to say, Nike’s new jersey is really stupid. It looks exactly like 宋兵甲... :(
ps: Twelve Milan players took their national duty.
Massimo Ambrosini, Pippo Pancaro, Andrea Pirlo, Rino Gattuso (Portugal 1-2 Italy)
Martin Laursen, Jon Dahl Tomasson (Spain 2-0 Denmark)
Marcos Cafu, Kaka, Nelson Dida (Paraguay 0-0 Brazil)
Dario Simic (Croatia 2-2Turkey)
Andriy Shevchenko (Macedonia 1-0 Ukraine)
Manuel Rui Costa (Portugal 1-2 Italy)
pps: A cute quote from Rino after the match:
“It was nice to play against Manuel Rui Costa for once, as we chatted and joked during the game. It’s not something that happens often!”
ppps: An interesting quote from the athletic coach Daniele Tognaccini @ ACMilan.com:
“From Nesta to Andriy Shevchenko and Tognaccini recounted a curious fact coming from the striker’s header against Chievo and said: ‘There is a test called ‘vertical jump’ to measure the leap. Sheva can jump 60 centimetres, at the beginning it was 50cms.’”
pppps: A nonsense interview from Trap quoted by ACMilan.com:
“After Mauro Camoranesi becoming a naturalised Italian, Giovanni Trapattoni looked at the question of whether Kaka would also follow that route and said: ‘If a player wants to do it so be it. Camoranesi wanted to become an Azzurri but you would have to ask Kaka to know what he wants to do.’”
This is soooo weird since Kaka’ has played for Brazil….
