ANTHONY MANNINO - After scoring four goals in their opener against Lecce Milan now looks scary good with the additions of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho. A year after selling AC Milan’s best player Kaka for £59 million Silvio Berusconi, AC Milian’s owner, has brought in Robinho for £15 million and Ibrahimovic on loan for this year with an option to buy him for €24 million next year. With these two world class talents added to Milan’s squad, which already has Ronaldinho and Pato at their disposal, Milan’s front attack will be the best in Serie A.

Ibrahhimovic brings the experiences of having 80 goals in 157 appearances in Serie A, which means he averages a stunning goal every other game ratio. Robinho joins fellow Brazilians Ronaldinho and Pato to give Milan a Samba-looking attack. With these three Brazilians on the attack, look for Milan to be free flowing and have an exciting attacking style to watch. Also, do not forget they have the cool Italian Andrea Pirlo who will put these players in dangerous positions with his passing ability.

Many will argue that Robinho is moody and if he is not happy he will be a detriment to the team. Critics think Ibrahimovic is on the downside after a bad spell at Barcelona. Let me reassure you this will not happen at Milan. At Milan Robinho will never be unhappy because he plays his best and is always happy when he plays for Brazil. At Milan he will have that feeling playing alongside fellow Brazilians Tiago Silva, Ronaldinho, and Pato. People seem to just remember him as being unsuccessful with Manchester City, and they tend to forget that in his first season with City he scored 14 goals or was one of Brazil’s best players in South Africa this summer. As for Ibrahimovic, the common sentiment is he was unsuccessful for Barcelona. However, many forget that he was in fact second on the team in scoring, only behind Messi’s amazing season of 34 goals. Milan fans should have more faith in Ibrahimovic because he has already proven himself in Serie A by winning 3 Scudettos with the bitter rivals Inter.

Milan’s attack will now be extremely dangerous and beautiful soccer to watch. Expect Ibrahimovic and Pato to provide multiple goals and Ronaldinho and Robinho to provide the beauty in the Milan attack. If we can see the trick like these from Ronaldho and Robinho and goals like these from Ibrahimovic and Pato expect all defenses that face Milan to cringe in fear. The only team that can even consider themselves a little lucky with Milan signing Ibrahimovic and Robinho is Roma as they were able to pick up Borriello, who was considered surplus now for Milan.
