Last year was a long beautiful tight duel between Milan and Naples for the championship, now worth perhaps only for Milan who, having unfortunately lost in Rome against Lazio, Juventus escape risks seeing, for the Neapolitan now the season is the eighth episode of the Italian Cup and Champions League final against Chelsea.

In an atmosphere with a Siberian and Arctic cold Allegri turns around and, inexplicably rejecting El Shaarawy, once again Seedorf behind the strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho.

The game has been balanced, with good personality Napoli tries to present itself and not just wait, the MIlan tries to break down the flanks or central streets with Ibra, at 4 'splendid double triangulation robinho-ibra-seedorf with Ibra- Swedish ruin to the ground after the contrast in the area with Campagnaro, shortly after Seedorf from outside to oblige De Sanctis to the parade ground.

Napoli responds with a shot of high Cavani with a kick from the edge of Dzemaili who loses the highest, are very much alive that the Neapolitans are preferable for their personality and desire to make the match, the 17 'is Hamsik from 20 meters to oblige Abbiati a clumsy rejected.

The Milan hard to do with the game and Seedorf Emanuelson struggling to carve and Robinho still smoky, took advantage of the Naples that the 22 'touches the goal with Lavezzi, freed from the usual hole in the area of Abbot, the shot ends, however, on the Pocho' exterior of the network.

Around the half hour Ibrahimovic beat two opponents and puts a great ball for the inattentive Binho that you anticipate a breath, just after a cross from Emanuelson free fishing in the area, the shot is a demi volley that goes just above the crossbar .

In the final time the Rossoneri increase the pressure and shake your own metacampo in Naples, but before you contrare Robinho by a defender, then pull Nocerino, in the heart of the area, finding an opponent's foot, Napoli responds with a conclusion high of Cavani.

Shooting with Amelia and Milan Abbiati you eat at 4 'the easiest of scoring, free Robinho Ibrahimovic head, alone in the area, but the Brazilian, as usual, he does not get the door kicking to the side, the wretched Giles Calloni has found a worthy successor!

AC Milan press up and creates dangers with Robinho arrested in extremis by Aronica and Seedorf head engages the ground that De Sanctis saves right on the line, then it is still Seedorf from an excellent position to shoot through the roof.

A prodigy of Ibra to 15 'De Sanctis requires a true feat to divert for a corner, Napoli increasingly difficult to defend high and reappear in the restart.

At 18 'Ibrahimovic expels Rizzoli between general protest, Ibrahimovic gives a fillip to Aronica, which in turn gives it to Nocerino, remains in the Neapolitan area, the Rossoneri go in the locker room, another decision that is discussed after the penalty converted into foul against in Rome against Lazio.

Big mistake to 24 'Cavani only in small area, a diving header, sends the ball away from the pali.

The Milan outnumbered becomes dangerous 2 times out of action with a fast corner and then closed by Robinho with a nice corner in the end rejected by De Sanctis.

It ends in a draw this much anticipated game, but that has deeply disappointed the shivering spectators at the stadium, Milan played a terrible first half, along the lines of the last match, especially those against the 'big, gives its best first quarter in minutes of recovery, and reduced to 10 in the end most likely to win than lose, the only happy note the day is the draw at home, surprisingly, the Juve against Siena.

Napoli played against a very good first half hour and then slowly but systematically disappears, the bad way it was handled in the last half hour of the numerical superiority.

The best: in Milan Emanuelson and Thiago Silva, in Naples Zuniga and Aronica.
