While all of us in the US were busy celebrating the super bowl, and yes Cruz's team (the Steelers) won, at the Olimpico it finished Lazio-Milan 0-3. The sequence of the goals: in the 42nd minute Pato scored on an assist by Beckham, in the 48th minute Ambrosini again on assist by Beckham and Ricky Kaká completed the scoring in the 83rd minute. No goals for David himself but the soccer star assisted on 2 out of 3. The official formation of AC Milan was: Abbiati, Zambrotta, Senderos, Favalli, Jankulovski; Beckham, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kakà, Seedorf, Pato. David is proving to be an asset to the team! And he seems to genuinely be happy- I really hope he stays!
Carlo Ancelotti also spoke again of David at the end of the match and said, "Beckham is becoming an indispensable player for this team and the merit is all his and of his intelligence." And in other exciting news, David is one of the called up players for the UEFA CUP 2008/2009. Congratulations!!! David made the official list of Milans 25 players which includes:
GOALKEEPERS: Dida, Abbiati, Kalac
DEFENDERS: Maldini, Kaladze, Zambrotta, Jankulovski, Favalli, Senderos, Bonera, Darmian, Pasini, Antonini, Nesta
MIDFIELDERS: Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Flamini, Beckham
