A Whole New Team

Do you know how on earth can you describe how funny it is to watch AC Milan stumble game after game this season? Well, it is a quite different question to answer, because in fact, it is more than hilarious to see in www.livescore.com that AC Milan lost 0-1 to FC Zurich in front of their own fans. Other examples: they drew 0-0 with Bari and 1-1 with Atalanta over the past few weeks. They were also torn apart by their rival Inter, by four goals to nil. I’m very ashamed to endure all of these results, although I’m not a Milan fan either.

So one day, a few hours before Milan lost 0-1 to Zurich in Champions League, I passed by the Goal.com Island, where I found a unique billboard, which mentioned problems occured in Rossoneri squad. There were some factors, such as the off-form players, the coach, Adriano Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi, global financial crysis, even the Calciopoli was also included. And as the bottom line, that billboard said that perhaps AC Milan needed a whole new team because it seemed that their problems are everywhere (goalkeepers, defences, offences, managements, morale, mental, finance, etc). That sentence reminded me of a song title, A Whole New World. That’s why then I changed the song lyric to become “A Whole New Team”. You can sing this song as though you wanted to sing A Whole New World but with different lyric. Take a close look:

A Whole New Team

I can show you the words:

Silly, slow, sulky, spoofy

Tell me Milan,

now when did you last

make your fans rejoice

I can open your backs,

beat you over and over

in the home games and away

to any Italian side

A whole new team

a new fantastic manager,

no one to tell us how,

or where to score,

or say we’re only joking

A whole new team,

Younger players we never have

But when we drew or lost

it’s crystal clear

that now we need a whole new team

with us

Unbelievable sights,

Indescribable feelings

soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling

through an endless run of games

A whole new team

Don’t you dare close your clubs

A thousand more goals to concede

Hold your breath, it gets worse

We’re like a joking star

We’ve been so suck

We can’t go back to where we used to be

A whole new team

Every match a surprise

With Inter, Juve to pursue

Every moments red letter

We’ll chase them everywhere

There’s time to buy (buy players)

Let us see this whole new team exist

A whole new team

A whole new team

That’s what we need

That’s what we’ll have

A thrilling league

A scudetto

For Milanisti

The funniest part of this lyric is the italicized paragraph. Of course, not only for me, but especially Milanisti, this season’s results so far, including the fact that they only scored 4 goals in 7 games, can be classified as unbelievable sights (Milan 0-4 Inter, Milan 0-0 Bari, Udinese 2-1 Milan, Milan 0-1 Zurich, 10 men Atalanta 1-1 Milan). That way, I understand that it is virtually impossible to describe the feeling of Milanisti. They kept soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling through an endless run of games (an exaggeration actually, but still funny).

This is not an offence to Milanisti. However I hope and I believe they can resurrect themselves, because it is not good to watch Serie A taken over by the likes of Sampdoria, instead of Milan. I believe that Milan do need a whole new team to replace the old, slow and incompetent one they have now, if they want to have any chance to compete with the best like Inter or Juventus.

This song, is a treasure of Uncle Salabam’s own possession, that he got after returning from Goal.com Island.
