Mille Grazie

I would like to offer my gratitude to dr. Anna Rita Zanobi from the Biblioteca
Nazionale Braidense as well as Daniele Redaelli and Danilo Fullin from the RCS
MediaGroup for sending me the Italian newspaper articles from 1934. Without their
assistance this research could simply not have been conducted.

A big thank you to my sister Andrea for translating my request for articles into Italian
and last but not least many thanks to Eric Kellerman for his supervision, support,
enthusiasm and patience. If in 2010 the Champions League final would for the sixth
consecutive time consist of at least one English team, I hope for Eric it will be the
Gunners, taking the cup with the big ears to the North of London.

Introduction
"The English treat football as war and war as sport"

It is common knowledge that the English are great football enthusiasts. Having
invented the sport as it is played today almost two centuries ago, the English are very
proud of their football history. The current state of English football is not something
to be ashamed of either. The English Premiership attracts millions of viewers
worldwide1 and is thus widely regarded as the most important competition in the
world. The current Champions League holder comes from England, having beaten
another English team in the final. Only the English national team’s trophy-cabinet is
not as eye-catching as that of the country’s rivals such as Brazil or Italy. While the
English are polishing their 1966 World Cup gold over and over again, the Brazilians
and Italians have five and four trophies respectively, in need of attention. Therefore,
if the average Englishman had to choose between winning a war against Argentina
(as in the Falklands War of 1982), or beating Maradona and co. in the 1986 World
Cup Finals (which England lost 2-1), then the Falkland Islanders would be speaking
Spanish today.

The importance of football to the English has given way to some memorable quotes
over the years. The anonymous Frenchman who stated that “the English treat
football as war and war as sport2” never spoke truer words. During the Battle of the
Somme in 1916, for instance, Captain W.P. Nevill instructed his four platoons to try
and kick the football he gave them as far as possible in the German trenches. The
winner would get a prize. Captain Nevill was killed instantly. Two of the footballs
survived, however, and are preserved today in English museums.3 Another, more
famous quote on the importance of football to the English, is by one of Britain’s most
successful and respected football managers, Bill Shankly: “Football's not a matter of
life and death ... it's much more important than that.”4

Bill Shankley’s citation on the importance of football might only be equalled in fame
by a quote from a Dutch colleague of Shankley’s, Rinus Michels. Michels’ “voetbal is
oorlog” (football is war) for many describes their general feeling towards the sport.
Football is not merely a game that can be won or lost; it is, however, a religion for
which wars are declared. Although I share some of the football enthusiasts’ passion
for the game, Michel’s well known quote is of a different importance to me. +Football
is War+ is a metaphor; a figurative way of explaining the importance of the sport. It is
interesting to see that a football game shares many similarities with the
characteristics of a war. Therefore +Football is War+, or +a Football Match is a
Battle+, is the underlying base for many more metaphors that combine aspects from
a football game with aspects from a war (Morris, 1981: 17). A forward player, for
instance, is supposed to have killer instinct. His teammates try to launch him in
order to besiege the goal of the enemy. When a shot misses the goal it was off target.
A strong and robust defender is called a tank, while the supporters are sometimes
referenced as a legion. A tall player can be used to improve a team’s air force. During
the bombardment of the box, the goalkeeper tries to keep his territory clean.
However, when his opponent lashes out and hits home with an absolute belter, the
keeper stands shell-shocked.

Interesting to note is that the man who gave birth to the “football is war” quote is a
metaphor in his own way. During the World Cup of 1974, the press dubbed Holland
manager Michels ‘the general’ for his stern leadership and the physical game he
made his team play. The press is the main source for the metaphors familiar to us.
Players and managers might consider a football match a miniature war, but it is only
because of newspaper reports and match commentators that the +Football is War+
terminology has reached an audience.

My aim is to analyse the use of metaphors in match reports published in English

newspapers and compare this to the use of metaphors in Italian publications. This in
order to find an answer to the question: “What are the differences in the use of
conceptual metaphors, and battle metaphors in particular, between the English and
Italian press, now and in the past?” The Italians have a passion for football that
equals the English’, are the most successful European country in football and, not in
the least important, have often crossed swords with the English many times. By
analysing and comparing the English and Italian match reports from games between
English and Italian teams or an England v. Italy international, I want to find out
more on the following three characteristics in the use of metaphors:
 Zijlstra 5

• Are there national differences in the use of conceptual metaphors in match

reports? Is one of the two languages for instance much richer in the use of
metaphors in their match reports?
• Are there differences historically? With regards to the +a Football Match is a
Battle+ metaphor, was there a larger use of battle metaphors in the years
leading up to a war, than there is now?
• Are there differences with regards to the result? Could there be a difference
in the use of metaphors in a language depending on the positive or negative
outcome of a game?
 Zijlstra 6

Conceptual Metaphors
What exactly are these ‘conceptual metaphors’ we are looking for?

That words are often used in figurative senses is common knowledge (Ungerer and
Schmid, 2006: 114). Most of the time this happens without us being aware of it. We
all know the expression ‘time is money’, but are we always aware that we are using
figurative speech when we say ‘we lost valuable time’, or ‘we wasted hours waiting’?
According to Lakoff and Johnson, by using the metaphor +Time is Money+
we try to conceptualize the target concept (the conceptual domain that we try to
understand) +time+ via the source concept (the conceptual domain from which we
draw the metaphorical expression) +money+. These two concepts do not seem to
belong together by their very nature. Time is not something one can gain or lose, but
by conceptualizing the target concept time via the source concept money we now can.
Because time is limited in our lives, it has become something very valuable to us. The
notion that time is limited and therefore valuable is according to many a
characteristic of ‘western civilization’ or ‘modern life’. This means that the concept of
+Time is Money+ does not need to count for every age or every culture. In our
culture, however, time is money in many ways: we talk about phone minutes, hourly
wages and yearly subsidies. Corresponding to the fact that we act as if time is a
valuable commodity –a limited resource, even money- we conceive of time that way.
(Lakoff and Johnson, 1980: 7f)
The same goes for other conceptual metaphors like +Love is a Journey+
(“We’ll have to go our separate ways.”) or +an Argument is a Building+ (“If you don’t
support your argument with solid facts, the whole thing will collapse.”).

Close to conceptual metaphors are metonymies. In a sentence like (1) “I’ll have a
glass of water” we are asking for an object filled with water, but instead of literally
asking for the object we are asking for the material the object is made of. Next to this,
if we say (2) “I’ll have a glass” we are literally expressing our desire for the container
(the glass) instead of the content within the container (e.g. wine) that we actually
desire. These two are examples of metonymies.
Metonymies parallel metaphors in a way. Where in metaphors the
substitution of one term for another is based on similarity, with metonymies this
substitution is based on contiguity. When we use the metaphor “The man is a pig”
most people will immediately think of the man as dirty, because that is the
connotation we have with pigs. (Needless to say, if the connotation we have with the
 Zijlstra 7

source concept is different, the whole meaning of the metaphor will change. The
expression “The woman is a cow” could mean that the woman is either fat or stupid,
depending on the way one looks at the source concept ‘cow’. In a different culture,
however, where cows are regarded as holy animals this metaphor could take on a
different meaning all together.) Going back to the metaphor “the man is a pig”, even
though the dirty man is like a pig, there is no contiguity between the two. On the
other hand, when we say “Hollywood has had a very good year” we actually mean that
the film business has had a successful year. Although hardly the entire film business
is based in Hollywood, there is contiguity between the two.
It is not hard to see that we can call example (1) a +Material for Object+
metonymy, while example (2) belongs to +Container for Content+ type. But as with
conceptual metaphors, there are many more different types of metonymies.
+Part for Whole+ “we need all hands on deck”
+Whole for Part+ “to fill up the car”
+Producer for Product+ “I auctioned a Picasso”
+Institution for People Responsible+ “The Mafia bombed a car”
+Place for Institution+ “Downing Street is supporting the bill”
+Place for Event+ ”Beijing was my goal”
+Controlled for Controller+ “The trains are on strike”

In Search of Articles
Describing the process of getting newspaper articles of England v. Italy matches

The idea of comparing English and Italian newspaper articles of football matches
between the two countries, or between teams from the two countries, in order to find
out the differences in the use of metaphors within the articles as a possible thesis
subject immediately enthused me. This subject would be the perfect link between
hobby and study.

That week, two matches between an English and an Italian football team were being
played in the Champions League; Arsenal v. AC Milan and Liverpool v.
Internazionale. I managed to get my hands on several reports from English
newspapers on the above matches. The first idea I had was to compare at least three
matches; one in which the English team had won, one in which the Italian team had
won and finally a draw. This to find out whether there would be differences in the
writing method depending on whether the journalist’s country had won or lost. By
this time I was still under the impression that I needed a large amount of different
match reports in order to find out all the differences in the use of metaphors, not
realizing how vast the research then would become. Therefore I compiled a list of
five newspapers from both countries I was thinking of using. I linked the English
newspapers to their Italian counterparts, once on circulation numbers and the other
time on their political background. By looking at the political background of the
newspapers to link them I was hoping to find a similar writing style between both the
English and the Italian newspapers. However, it dawned on me that with football
reports this political background was not a big issue.

After reading the Introduction to Cognitive Linguistics by Ungerer and Schmid I

knew what direction to take in my research. My initial list of ten newspapers was too
vast and I had to limit the amount of match reports I was to use. The first match I
was to research was AC Milan v. Arsenal, played on 4 March 2008. From this match I
took match reports from The Times, The Guardian, La Repubblica and the Corriere
Della Sera (appendices E through H), in which I was to find all metaphors and
metonymies and their meaning.

Thinking about the +a Football Match is a Battle+ metaphor that I wanted to

research, I found another football match that I hoped would have given reason for
 Zijlstra 9

several usable match reports; the November 1934 encounter between the national
teams of England and Italy. This encounter was billed at the time (especially in the
Italian press) as a contest for world supremacy, the most important football match of
the century. Played less than five years before the start of the second world war, in a
time when fascism ran rampant in Italy, the newspaper reports on this match would
prove the perfect opportunity to find out whether in this political climate journalists
used more battle-metaphors than is customary today.

Having chosen the second match to evaluate, I had to go and find articles on this
game, focusing on match reports that were published at the time. Being such an
important game at the time, it was not difficult to find background information on
the Internet. Finding actual match reports, however, proved much more difficult.
Especially since most newspapers have an online archive that does not date further
back than 1985. To get my hands on old match reports I tried to use the English
Newspaper Library, based in Colindale, London. The archives of this library could be
browsed online at its website: http://www.bl.uk/collections/newspapers.html
I tried to find an Italian equivalent to this newspaper library, but unfortunately was
unable to do so.

On my hunt for articles available on the Internet, I tracked down a list of digital
newspaper archives available online. Some of these were freely available, while with
others one had to subscribe before being able to download articles. Browsing the
archives, however, was always possible. Using this option, I unearthed match reports
published by the Irish Independent and The Scotsman on 15 November 1934.
Another accessible archive I discovered was The Times Digital Archive. This digital
archive is a project on major scale that was completed only a few years ago and offers
every single issue of The Times, published between 1785 and 1985, ready for
download. Getting access to this archive proved a little more difficult. Access was
only available to registered users or participating libraries. Trying to apply for trial
access, I sent out an e-mail explaining my situation and needs and was quickly sent
an answer. Trial access was unfortunately only rewarded to institutional libraries and
I had to go my University Library to ask them to apply for an archive membership.

I did go and ask a librarian about The Times digital archive membership despite
knowing that for the University to go and apply for this would simply take too much
time. The librarian, however, was able to tell me that this digital archive could be
accessed from two locations in The Netherlands; the Erasmus University in
 Zijlstra 10

Rotterdam and the UvA in Amsterdam. I contacted the University Library of

Amsterdam about the matter and a day later I was able to travel to Amsterdam and
find the desired match reports without a problem.

A single match report from The Times would of course not be enough, so I set out to
get another one from either the Scotsman or The Irish Independent. Both newspaper
websites offered a day’s subscription model and I managed to find several articles,
including a match report, through http://www.irishnewsarchive.com
I thus managed to get hold of match reports in English, but the lack of any
information on Italian articles was worrying. There was no sign of a central
newspaper library in Italy, and although there had once been an online auction of a
copy of Il Giornale d’Italia of 15 November 1934, with a review of the game on the
front page, there had been no other signs of any match reviews available. After
brainstorming on what way to get hold of usable articles in Italian, I planned on
contacting the newspapers that had already existed in 1934 (La Gazzetta Dello Sport,
La Stampa, Il Messaggero, Il Corriere Della Sera) directly. With a little familial help
I sent out an e-mail to the newspapers mentioned. A day later I received two replies.
One was from Il Corriere Della Sera, stating that all of their published papers were
available to browse in some public libraries. I was given the address of a library in
Milan, which I immediately contacted. The other reply I received was from an
employee of La Gazzetta Dello Sport, who told me that he would look into my request
but needed some time for this.

Unfortunately I heard nothing more after these two initial replies. I once more
contacted the Braidense National Library in Milan and was rewarded a day later. A
very helpful employee sent me a total of three e-mails containing ten articles on the
November 1934 match. Copies from 13, 14 and 15 November 1934 of Il Corriere Della
Sera as well as La Gazzetta Dello Sport had been sent to me, including an ‘edizione
straordinaria’ of La Gazzetta Dello Sport which had been published immediately
after the match had ended and of which I had never known the existence. Two weeks
later I was once more sent articles from La Gazzetta Dello Sport, this time directly
from the editorial office. These were articles that had been published a day after the
game.

Having retrieved the articles I needed for my research, I was able to analyse and
evaluate the differences in the use of conceptual metaphors between the English and
Italian press, now and in the past.

Analysing the Match Reports

What are the differences between the English and Italian view?

When looking at the four different match reports between the Milan and Arsenal
game, it is noticeable that the winning English team receives praise from both the
English and Italian press. All four newspapers use metaphoric expressions to show
their appreciation for the game that Arsenal played the night before. The Times hails
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fàbregas as the team’s heartbeat, while The Guardian states
that Fàbregas shaked San Siro. On the Italian side, La Repubblica talks about
l’orchestra Arsenal, which means that they were impressed by their collective
performance while Il Corriere Della Sera praises young Arsenal’s courage for not
having fear of the mythical figures of Milan (“L’Arsenal dei ragazzi non ha avuto
paura dei mostri sacri del Milan”).
This sentence informs us about the major difference between the Milan and
Arsenal side remarked by both the English and Italian press. The Italian newspapers
did not disagree with their English colleagues on the deserved outcome of the match,
nor did they disagree on what was the underlying ‘theme’ of the evening; Milan v.
Arsenal was past against future, old versus young. The Times dubbed Arsenal the
young guns that silenced San Siro, a reference to Arsenal’s nickname ‘Gunners’,
while The Guardian said that “Arsenal were everything that Milan once were”.
Many more metaphors were used in the articles to describe the differences
between the two teams. We will discuss these metaphors in the next chapter. The
Times and The Guardian both used more than 30 metaphoric expressions in their
articles, while La Repubblica used 26 and Il Corriere Della Sera only six. Although
there were hardly any differences in opinion between the English and the Italian
press, the deviating number of metaphors found in Il Corriere Della Sera’s article
attracts attention at first instance, but one must consider that this article was notably
shorter in length.

Almost 75 years ago, however, the English and Italian press were in no way of one
mind. The game between England and Italy at Highbury was a ‘friendly’ in name
only. Only five months earlier, the Italian team had become world champions for the
first time and the rise of fascism in the country was cause for unsettling times.
England, on the other hand, had a renowned football squad that, although the team
was not yet part of the FIFA and had thus not competed in the previous world cup,
was widely regarded as the best in the world. The English football team had met the
 Zijlstra 12

Italians only once before. Eighteen months earlier the two countries drew 1-1 in
Rome. For Italian politics and press, their first match as world champions was the
superior possibility to settle the debate about who was the stronger squad and more
powerful nation. For them, it was a contest for world supremacy. According to the
now legendary Stanley Matthews, who was 19 at the time of his second cap:
"Mussolini saw the game as a way of boosting the morale of the Italian people, going
as far as to say a victory over England would be a victory for fascism. There were all
manner of stories about Mussolini offering massive money bonuses and gifts to the
Italians if they could pull off a win."5
The English press, however, put the game back into proportion. They did not
label the match as important as their Italian colleagues did, nor did they pay as much
attention to it in their sports section. While La Gazzetta Dello Sport published a
special edition immediately after the game, complimentary to their regular edition
that was published the morning after, both The Times and The Irish Independent
dedicated no more than a single column of their sports page to their match reports.
The build-up to and the perception of the game were thus completely different in the
English and Italian papers. This means that in analyzing the use of metaphors in the
reports of this match the Italian press coverage available was much more elaborate
than the English coverage, leading to a much vaster number of Italian metaphorical
use.
The difference in importance of the game in both countries is also evident in
the underlying theme of both countries’ different match evaluations. While the
English press were naturally pleased with the result, they praised all players on the
pitch. Their own eleven, for scoring three goals in ten minutes and beating the world
champions, as well as the Italian players who were praised for showing resilience in
the second half with a man short. The Italian press, however, found a way to make
the Italian visitors the moral victors of the day. This makes the different opinion
between the English and Italian journalists interesting to read. While in 2008
journalists from The Times and La Gazzetta Dello Sport were in mutual consensus
about the outcome of the Milan v. Arsenal game, seventy-four years earlier their
opinions were miles apart. From The Times of 15 November 1934: “L. Monti, the
Italian centre half-back, was off the field before the first English goal was scored, and
so, on paper, it looks as though the Italians were unfortunate to lose. Actually they
were not. In the first 15 minutes England scored three goals, and not only won the
match but played such brilliant football that the Italians were forced into the parts of

mere lookers-on. The Italians did not mark their men; they did not seem to have any
idea of how an English attack would develop, and the English half-backs and
forwards were allowed to combine with a smoothness and subtlety which made a
difficult game look easy.”6 La Gazzetta Dello Sport does not only disagree with their
colleagues from The Times, they seem to have witnessed a different match altogether:
“Missing Monti from the opening minutes of the game and overwhelmed by the
violent and dizzying play of the English in the beginning, the Duce’s men attacked at
great speed in the second half, showing their unequalled qualities of style and
intelligence and finished the game with fantastic passion and a brilliant score” (Privi
di Monti fin dal primissimi minuti della partita e travolti all’inizio dal gioco
veemente e vertiginoso degli inglesi, gli azzurri del Duce attacano la ripresa a
grande andatura, spiegano le insuperabili virtù della loro intelligenza e del loro
stile e chiudono la partita con un punteggio brillante ed un ardore meraviglioso7)

It seems that because the Italian press and politics had labelled this match a contest
for world supremacy they simply could not lose, they had to find a way to spin the
course and result of the match in their advantage after the impossible had become
reality. La Gazzetta Dello Sport from the day after hardly mentions the 3-2 defeat the
Italian team suffered, yet a bold headline informs us about the “Successo dello spirito
di squadra” –the success of the spirit of the team. This ‘success’ has lead to the fact
that the squad who took on the English on that memorable Wednesday in the autumn
of 1934 will always be remembered as ‘leoni di Highbury’ -lions of Highbury8. This
nickname is already a metaphor in itself. The lion is king of the animals and is
considered a brave and foremost clever hunter. Therefore we can conclude that in the
eyes of the Italian press their team had produced a brave and clever fight and by
taking on the English, who famously sport three lions on their crest, had become true
lions themselves.

The best example, however, that the Italian press spun the outcome of the match in
their advantage can be found in the very first line of La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s article
published the day after the international. This first line informs us that the English
victory, “La vittoria della squadra Inglese” was “una vittoria di Pirro” – a pyrrhic
victory. A pyrrhic victory is a victory won at too great a cost to have been worthwhile

for the victor9. The phrase is named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose army
suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Romans during the Pyrrhic War.10
In both of Pyrrhus's victories, the Romans lost more men than Pyrrhus did. However,
the Romans had a much larger supply of men from which to draw soldiers, so their
losses did less damage to their war effort than Pyrrhus's losses did to his. After being
congratulated on one of his victories, Pyrrhus replied: "If we are victorious in one
more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined."11
The fact that it were the Romans who lost the battle to Pyrrhus, yet emerged
as moral victors, makes the use of this term after a toilsome England win over the
Italians all the more appropriate. The Pyrrhic victory metaphor is often used with
regards to sports, business, politics or literature. Used as a headline on the front of
La Gazzetta Dello Sport, it is the perfect example that the Italian press needed to play
down their defeat while being ardent followers of the +Football is War+ metaphor.

Discussing the Metaphors

What metaphors were used in match reports in 1934 and in 2008?

It is common knowledge that in talking about football or even sports in general there
is a lot of use of words in the figurative sense. There are managers who seem to only
make use of figurative language during their speeches. Using obvious metaphors over
and over again like (1) “the referee robbed us of three points” can often be considered
cringeworthy. These obvious metaphors have been conventionalised, which means
that they have taken up such a prominent role in modern speech that we take them
for granted and do not think of them as metaphors anymore. Ungerer and Schmid
(2006: 117) call these ‘dead’ metaphors. This negative designation is highly
misleading. In the words of Lakoff and Turner (1989: 129):
the mistake derives from a basic confusion: it assumes that those things in our
cognition that are most alive and most active are those that are conscious. On the
contrary, those that are most alive and most deeply entrenched, efficient, and
powerful, are those that are so automatic as to be unconscious and effortless.
Metaphors that have thus unconsciously been built into the language by long-
established conventions are indeed the most important ones (Ungerer and Schmid,
2006: 117). In example (1) the victory that the manager did not pull off is seen as a
valuable commodity. Not money as is most often the case, but three points. Of course
the referee did not break in to steal three points, but by making certain decisions the
manager feels that the referee had a vital influence on the outcome of the game. The
figurative expression only adds to his injustice.

Appendix A is a match report on the England v. Italy game, which appeared in The
Times of Thursday 15 November 1934. Within this report we can find other examples
of ‘dead’ metaphors, which have become conventionalised football jargon. These are
expressions in the figurative sense, although we do not immediately conceive of them
that way. In “the Italians did not mark their men” the message that the Italian
defending was below par is clear. However, we must realise that the marking in this
sentence comes from the verb ‘to mark’; make (a visible impression or stain) on12.
Therefore what we are literally saying is that defenders need to make a visible
impression on their opponents, so that they will never lose them out of sight. If the
Italians did not mark their men we can conclude that they did not know whom to
defend and that their opponents received to much space to move.




 


 
 

 


 Zijlstra 16

“In the first minute of the match Drake broke through”. Nowhere is there any
mention of what it was that this player Drake actually broke through. The answer is
that there is nothing that this player broke through, except for the Italian defence. A
defence, however, is not tangible but merely the idea of three or four players working
together. Therefore the idea of a defence is here conceptualised as an object; a wall to
protect the goal behind it, which is hard to break through. In the same section we
read “Britton placed the ball in the goalmouth”. The goalmouth is the area just in
front of the goal.13 It is conceptualised as a body part because it shares characteristics
with the properties that we have of the concept ‘mouth’: ‘part of the body of people
and animals’, ‘opening through which food is taken in’. We could thus conclude that
‘the goal is the mouth of the football pitch (in respect of shape and function)’.
Interesting in regards to the term goalmouth is that very often the pass of a ball
towards this area is phrased as ‘the ball is fed into the goalmouth’. The
conventionalised metaphor of the goal as a mouth has influenced even the language
written in relation to this term. The ball has become the food for the goal to consume.
The sentence “a movement on the right wing gave had given Drake the
chance” refers to the position on the field where the movement took place. The
players who take up the position on the far left and right of the pitch and who move
from the halfway line to their opponents’ goal line are called wingers. The football
pitch is suddenly conceptualised as the image of a bird, with wings outstretched to
far left and right. The wingers are often fast runners who are sent flying by a long ball
into the corners of the pitch.
It is not until the third section that we finally come across speech relating to
battle metaphors. Although the title of the article simply is “England beat Italy” I do
not feel that ‘beat’ in this sense is derived from battle idiom; “defeat (someone) in a
game, competition, election, or commercial venture”14 is the second listing for ‘beat’
in the dictionary. If we would count this as a battle metaphor, terms such as attacker,
striker or defender would all have to be considered battle metaphors. They are,
however, regular football idiom. When England “forced a corner” or “was forced on
the defensive” it is, however, a different matter. England managed to get a corner
kick by putting their opponent under pressure. Not with violence, as is normally the
case when force is used, but by playing in such an (aggressive) manner that their
opponent had to play the ball over their own goal line. The Italians managed to do the
same to the English, when they forced the England on the defensive. “The English
defence, however, remained staunch to the end.” Here the defence is once more


 
 
 


 
 

  




 


 
 

  


 Zijlstra 17

conceptualised as an object; staunch is “(of a wall) of strong or firm construction, (of

a ship) watertight.”15 Once more the defence acts like a wall that will not let anything
pass. The verb staunch stands for restricting the flow of blood from a wound. So the
English defence in this example did not bleed, they were not found wanting.

Appendix B is a match report from The Irish Independent of Thursday 15 November

1934. What is instantly evident when looking at the metaphors used in this article is
that the Irish Independent makes clearer use of the +Football is War+ metaphor than
The Times did. The subtitle to the article reads “continental team’s great fight under
big handicap”. Here, the football match is compared to a battle. It is not a regular
football term (like “beat”) since the term fight is used in sports only in regards to
boxing16. Even more evident is the title of the main article’s second section:
“England’s Rapid Fire”. England managed to score three times in ten minutes and we
see that the scoring of goals is compared to shots from a gun, fired on target. This
spate of scoring, a sudden flood of goals, made it extremely difficult for the ten
Italians to come back in the game.
Next to the battle metaphors there are many examples of conventionalised
metaphors to be found in the article. “The Italian keeper was again in the limelight
when saving from Bowden and Drake.” The limelight is an intense white light,
formerly used in theatres17. This stage lighting was used to put people in the focus of
attention. By saving from Bowden and Drake, the Italian keeper did just that. The
end of the article speaks of “Sound positioning by Barker”. Sound here stands for
reliable, secure, and is used in a positive sense. The adverb sound is most often used
in the combination with asleep. ‘Sound asleep’ means that someone is sleeping
deeply. It stems from the German ‘gesund’, which means healthy18. ‘Healthy
positioning’ has thus become competent positioning. In the final section of the article
there are three examples of metaphorical use of the defence as an object, as was also
the case in the article in The Times. “To work very hard for openings”, “another gap
in England’s defence” and “Guaita ran through” are all sentences in which the idea of
a defence is conceptualised as a sturdy object.

Appendices C and D are the match reports from La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Italy’s most
renowned sports paper. Appendix 3 is an edizione straordinaria, a special edition
that was published merely hours after the math had ended. Its main article is a

concise recapitulation of the match events. Appendix 4 is the paper from the day after
and the match report here has become a poetic description of an unfair battle
between two boxers; in the English corner a powerful giant, in the other the more
elegant, refined and delicate athlete. According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Italy v.
England was art versus power.
The match coverage in La Gazzetta Dello Sport was much more extensive
than that in the English papers. The articles on the match are much longer and thus
consisted of many more metaphors. But even relatively there are more examples of
battle metaphors to be found in the Italian articles than in the English. Especially
appendix D, which has almost become a piece of propaganda on the strength of the
Italian athletes, is very explicit in the use of battle metaphors.
The title of appendix C translates: “The merciless attacks of the powerful
English team shook the lines of the Italians, who, deprived of their midfield player,
fought back until the very end but did not manage to overcome the disadvantage.”
Besides all the strong language it is interesting to read that the lines of the Italians
were shaken up, as if the Italian defence acted as an army platoon that had drawn up
their lines (“la linea schierata”) before going to the battle. The shots on the Italian
goal are “proiettile violentissimo”, violent projectiles, while the Italian defence was
literally besieged (“la nostra difesa è letteralmente assediata”). By using this battle
speech, a chance for a goal (in Italian “occasione” or “possibilità”) is suddenly
described as “l’insidia”, which translates as a trap or an ambush.
In Appendix D the large use of battle metaphors makes the article read like a
piece of (fascist) war propaganda instead of a football match report. England and
Italy were “due pugilatore di rango altissimo in lotta per il primato”; two boxers of
the highest rank in a fight for supremacy. Although the English players were of the
opinion that the Italians were playing too physical a game (“They (the Italian players)
were kicking anything and everything that moved bar the referee. The game
degenerated into nothing short of a brawl and it disgusted me."19), the Italian press
holds a different view. England “hurled themselves against their enemy” and Italy
was “overwhelmed by this violence of their rival” (“Il colosso si scaglia con violenza
contro la stilista”, “Sopraffatto della violenza del rivale”). In a game like this you do
not get beaten, you get “mutilata” (crippled) and “massacrati” (slaughtered). The
Italians, surprised by the rush of violence from their rivals and slaughtered by
misfortune, however, did not collapse (“Gli azzurri sorprcsi dall’ impeto della
violenza dei rivali, massacrati dalla sfortuna non sono crollati”). That this was no

simple friendly becomes clear from the following line alone: “Più che non atleti, gli
uomini della nazionale ci sono comportati come soldati valorosissimi”; more than
mere athletes, the men of the national team should be regarded as courageous
soldiers.
When the goal scoring of the English was mentioned in the English articles,
the scoring of the goal was replaced by the verb ‘register’. ‘To register a goal’ literally
refers to the action the referee has to undertake after a goal has been scored, but the
expression has become synonymous for scoring a goal. In Italian, as is highlighted in
appendix C, the same metaphor exists in the verb ‘segnare’. In appendix D, however,
this verb has been replaced by a more powerful equivalent. The English team “non
avvrebero conquistato tre goals”; they should not have been able to conquer three
goals. Even though they were “lanciate come catapulte”; launched as catapults.
Being selected for the national squad is being compared to a call-up for
conscription. The Italian national players were called upon to battle (“chiamati a
battersi di forza”), and they were required at the front (“comportati di fronte”).
Everything was permitted; the Highbury stadium became the battleground to a no-
holds-barred fight (“Condotta sul terreno della lotta senza esclusione di colpi”). Even
though the football match ended in a 3-2 loss for the Italians, La Gazzetta Dello
Sport adopts a forgiving tone: “La squadra ha brillato … I dieci atleti hanno giocato
come un plotone di gladiatori”; The team was brilliant … The ten athletes have played
like a platoon of gladiators.

Seventy-four years later the style and tone of the match reports has changed
dramatically and so has the use of battle metaphors. In appendix E, an analysis of the
AC Milan v. Arsenal match played on 4 March 2008 from The Times, the use of battle
metaphors is restricted to “his appetite for the fight” and “this (match) was always
going to be a fight”. More interesting, however, is the description of Arsenal
midfielder Fàbregas’ mind: “he arrived with the quickest mind, the sharpest
intellect”. The brain is here conceptualised as an object. An object that moves with
varying speeds, the faster the more positive (compare ‘quickest mind’ to ‘a slow
thinker’), as well as an object with a certain form of which the sharpness defines the
quality. Fàbregas is referenced as the architect, because he is the one who designed
and set up all Arsenal attacks. It was if these attacks had been drawn out by him, like
a real architect does. Together with Hleb, “the pair stretched a massed defence”. Once
more the defence is conceptualised as a large concrete object. However, due to their
speed and passing game, Fàbregas and Hleb managed to stretch this concretion to its
limits.
 Zijlstra 20

Appendix F, a match report from The Guardian, makes a little more use of
battle metaphors than The Times did. Champions League holders Milan were
“eliminated”, after Arsenal “took on a rapacious tone”. After the break Milan
“yearned to retaliate but Arsenal kept danger at bay by mounting constant attacks”.
The use of battle metaphors gives the match report an edge; when comparing the
match report of The Times to that of The Guardian it is as if the latter describes a
much more important match that was played with much more intensity than The
Times has made us believe. Interesting too, is the description of positive and negative
feelings within The Guardian’s match report. Positives are always described as ‘up’,
while negatives are ‘down’. Therefore, ‘hope’, which is a positive feeling, is described
as “raises the hopes for his team”. Hope here is ‘raised’, but you can also get ‘your
hopes up’ or ‘have high hopes’. Milan, according to the match report, “looked
burdened … with too much history to be borne on drooping shoulders”. AC Milan’s
sadness (or disappointment or shame) for not being able to control the match has
given the players a drooping posture. After Arsenal scored the 1-0, the players’ hearts
could have sank. All these are metaphors for the negative emotion sadness, described
as ‘down’.
In appendix G, Italian newspaper La Repubblica’s match report from 5 March
2008, the number of metaphors to be distinguished is comparable to that of the
English reports on the same match. There are, however, a little more battle
metaphors to be found. “Carlo Ancelotti … schiera davanti il giovane Pato e il
veterano Inzaghi”. Schiera literally means ‘to line up’ and is most often used as a
military term; ‘una schiera di soldati’ is a formation of soldiers. The end of the article
mentions Fàbregas’ shot that beat Milan. It is referenced as “la staffilata … che
pugnala il Milan”; the lash, or stroke of the whip, which stabbed Milan to death. This
goal “soffoca le speranze rossonere”; it suffocated or stifled Milan’s hopes.
Adebayor’s 2-0 six minutes later was “il colpo di grazia”, the coup de grâce, for
Ancelotti’s team.
The match report from Il Corriere Della Sera (appendix H) surprisingly
enough contains far less metaphors than all previous match reports. It is, however,
the shortest match report of all. Like in appendix G, “staffilata” is used to describe a
powerful shot. This is the only example of battle idiom to be found. There are some
examples of conventionalized metaphors, however, to be distinguished. An Arsenal
full of youngsters extinguished Milan’s dreams (“L’Arsenal dei giovani spegne il
sogno del Milan”) and Fàbregas became the author of Arsenal’s advantage. The latter
can be considered an +Agent for Action+ metonymy (Ungerer and Schmid, 2006:
156) in which the noun ‘author’ has been converted into a verb that can only be used
 Zijlstra 21

in combination with the subject print media (‘to author a book’). However, in the
example of appendix H the verb ‘to author’ has been used figuratively in combination
with the subject goal scoring.
 Zijlstra 22

Conclusion
What are the differences in the use of conceptual metaphors, and battle metaphors
in particular, between the English and Italian press, now and in the past?

If one would only look at the absolute numbers of metaphors found within the match
reports, a conclusion would be easily made. The Italian press makes the most use of
figurative language and 74 years ago there was a larger use of metaphors than there is
now, especially regarding battle metaphors. With 59 examples of metaphors detected,
the article in La Gazzetta Dello Sport from 15 November 1934 is the richest in
figurative language. With more than 1,500 words, however, it is also the largest
article of the eight. Compare this to the article that was published in The Irish
Independent on the same day: 21 examples of metaphoric use were detected here, but
the article was only a third of the length of La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s match report.
We suddenly see that in numbers, the difference in the use of metaphors between the
articles is not as conspicuous as first expected. Relatively there hardly seem to be
differences in the metaphoric use at all.

Before I started analysing the match reports, I was under the impression that the
Italian language would make much more use of figurative speech than the English
language. Italian newspapers tend to write in a more poetic fashion about their
subjects than the English do. English articles often start with a brief summary of the
subject matter before going straight to the main points. Italian journalists, however,
have a tendency to couch their opinions on the subject in a particular way, like the
story of the two boxers that was the introduction to La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s match
report. I was expecting this ‘poetic’ style of writing to consist of a larger metaphoric
use than the English straightforward style of writing. At least within football
journalism, I am proven mistaken.

There are not many striking differences in regards to the use of conceptual metaphors
between the English and the Italian articles. If anything, most notable to me was the
fact that certain metaphors kept returning in different match reports but also in
different languages. The defence, for instance, is almost always conceptualised as a
concrete object, regardless of the language the article is written in. The conception of
a robust concrete object is positive one, and therefore this example of figurative
speech is very easy to use in cases where the defence was flawless. If this, however,
was not the case and the defence is referenced in a negative manner, the conception
 Zijlstra 23

of the defence as a concrete object is still very much in order. This time, however, the
negative aspects of a concrete object would rise to the surface; the defence would
have been sluggish, or it would have displayed signs of crumbling. Next to this we
have also seen the example of ‘registering a goal’, in which the verb ‘to score’ has
been replaced by a different action that is similar in English and Italian.

Not only the largest number of metaphors was found in La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s
match report of 15 November 1934, this article also presented us with the most
examples of battle-metaphors. Compare this to examples of battle-metaphors found
within the match reports of 2008 and it becomes evident that 74 years ago there was
a larger use of figurative battle speech than there is now. However, out of six different
newspapers only La Gazzetta Dello Sport and The Irish Independent had written
articles that consisted of various examples of distinctive battle metaphors. Therefore
I am unable to state that the use of battle metaphors is larger in the years leading up
to a war than in a quieter period. Regarding the match reports of 1934, my opinion is
that it is not point in time that is responsible for a larger use of battle metaphors than
is the case in 2008, but the political climate of the country in which the newspaper
article was written. Italy in 1934 was a fascist country and this political movement
tends to have a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, contempt for
democracy, and an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader.20 These
characteristics have lead to a belligerent style of writing, in which the use of battle
metaphors can almost be taken for granted.

The two matches that I analysed both had an English victor. Therefore I was unable
to research whether the result of a match would have consequences for the
metaphoric use within the match report. This is something I would look into next.
Although one would at least need to compare six articles to (tentatively) answer this
question, I think it would make for an interesting research. If one could find a greater
variety of match reports, from a larger number of different newspapers I feel that one
could come up with more convincing answers to my research questions. Even in a
year like 1934, different newspapers from the same country could have had different
styles of writing, leading to different results in the use of battle metaphors. And could
a great use of battle metaphors in match reports also characterize other political
movements? The greater the number and the variety of match reports researched, the
more precise the results will be. But also, the more time it takes to get to them.

Cesc Fabregas is Arsenal heartbeat as young guns

silence San Siro
AC Milan 0 Arsenal 2 (Arsenal win 2-0 on agg)

Eyes down: Bacary Sagna, the Arsenal defender, escapes

Martin Samuel, Chief Football Correspondent, in Milan

If there has been a better performance by a visiting team at the San Siro, it must have been some match. If there
has been a better individual display than that by Cesc Fàbregas, it must have been the work of some player. This
was the night when youth and beauty beat age, guile and experience, and it was a joy to watch.

Even the locals stood to acknowledge Arsenal before the end. Spontaneous bursts of applause greeting another
round of fleet-footed passing, as Arsène Wenger’s young team steered the match gently to its resting place,
safely beyond AC Milan’s reach. They picked the right time to score, too, after 84 minutes, when Milan then
required two goals in six minutes to progress, and rounded it off with a second in the final seconds to post a
scoreline that properly reflected their supremacy on the night.

This was the Arsenal we have been waiting for, and the masterclass from Fàbregas, too. Recent blips in
domestic matches have coincided with a downturn in form from the player who had defined Arsenal’s start to the
season. In that time his ability to sustain influence on the campaign had been called into question, as had his
preparedness for the long haul and his appetite for the fight. And this was always going to be a fight.

Delightfully, Fàbregas was up for it and entered the fray with fire in his belly and a score to settle. More than that,
he arrived with the quickest mind, the sharpest intellect and the most mesmerising array of skills on the pitch. But
most significantly, he returned with a hunger that took him beyond all competitors — even Kak�, the World
Footballer of the Year — and scored a goal fit to win any match.

It came quite simply, but with stunning effect, the blueprint of Arsenal’s success on the night. Alexander Hleb,
another star on an occasion when Arsenal’s midfield positively sparkled, fed the ball into Fàbregas in the heart of
the Milan half. As Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini backed off, the Spaniard sensed his chance. His shot
dipped and bucked just in front of Zeljko Kalac, the Milan goalkeeper, and nestled in the corner of the net. With
no way back, the home team’s fans sat stunned.

At that moment, Arsenal had succeeded in knocking out the champions of Europe on their home patch, territory
on which no English team had won. Having dominated for much of the match, created the best chances and
played the finest football, the locals could only stand back in admiration. As they politely clapped the team from

played the finest football, the locals could only stand back in admiration. As they politely clapped the team from
England, Arsenal provided a bitter-sweet thank you, a second goal, scored in injury time, the first European goal
in Arsenal colours for Emmanuel Adebayor, the striker.

Fàbregas was the architect here, too, his raking pass finding Theo Walcott, a substitute, on the right, his pace
outstripping Kakha Kaladze, the full back, almost to the point of awkwardness. For once, Walcott’s cross was
spot-on, too, and Adebayor arrived at the far post for a simple conversion.

Even though these teams ploughed deep into a third hour of football without a goal between them over the two
legs, no one could fault the quality of the match. It was for the best part thrilling and open and different from the
cat-and-mouse nature of the first leg. Arsenal were largely to thank for that.

While Milan played safety first at the Emirates Stadium two weeks ago, Arsenal were expansive and high-risk last
night, getting at their opponents with superb, passing football that banished the memory of Manchester United’s
failure to launch when playing here and losing heavily in the semi-final of this tournament 11 months ago.

On that night, United were undone by the brilliance of Kak� and their star performer, Cristiano Ronaldo, was all
but anonymous. This match could not have enjoyed greater differences. Mediocre in recent weeks, Fàbregas,
Arsenal’s key player, was inspired by the surroundings and set about Milan with the craft of a master puppeteer,
pulling strings all over the pitch, each move given life by his sense of invention. Like Hleb, his mind seemed to be
working at greater speed than his opponents and the pair stretched a massed defence to its limit, with darting
runs and pass after incisive pass.

The one villain of the piece was Konrad Plautz, the Austrian referee, who wrongly booked Hleb for diving in the
33rd minute, when he was brought down by Alessandro Nesta, the Milan central defender. Replays showed that
Nesta had committed a foul, on the line of the penalty area, too. A spot-kick may have been a controversial
decision with 81,000 packed into the Giuseppe Meazza — to give the San Siro its rightful name — but Hleb’s
booking was a travesty. It came at the height of Arsenal’s first-half pressure on the Milan goal, yet it did not
knock them out of their stride.

A minute later, Adebayor slipped a ball to Fàbregas from the left flank and he struck the bar with his shot from 20
yards. By this time members of the Milanese crowd were becoming strangely subdued. They are used to
dominating here and to seeing English teams taking an ugly, direct route to goal. To be outplayed by one on a
purely technical level will have come as a shock, although the sweetness of Fàbregas’s delivery owes little to his
adopted home.

Everything he did had class. His corners were dangerous and should have made an unlikely hero of Philippe
Senderos in the 47th minute, his long passes turned route one into a delightful country lane, not least when he
picked out Adebayor in the twelfth minute, setting up a shooting opportunity for Abou Diaby.

Milan’s chances were rare and the closest they came was through a corner by Pirlo in the seventh minute that
was headed goalwards by Paolo Maldini and cleared from the line, by Fàbregas, of course. If Milan had got a
penalty, he would probably have gone in goal and saved that, too.

was in so decisive a mood. Though Fábregas dominated, Arsenal 6

Alexander Hleb demanded nearly as much admiration in his
slightly more advanced role.

There could be nothing less welcome than visitors with

verve who knew they had several good years ahead of
them irrespective of the outcome here. Milan have
depended dangerously on the Champions League and have
so let their competitiveness in Serie A lapse that European
football might have to take the form of a Uefa Cup
campaign next season.

Ancelotti would have been uneasy beforehand. The

goalless draw at the Emirates had been not so much a
result as an agreement to settle the matter another day.
For the good sides, away fixtures do not have the
intimidating aspect of yesteryear.

Milan were the ones who looked burdened and they had
the sluggishness of famous footballers with too much
history to be borne on drooping shoulders. Episodes in this
game had symbolic overtones. Who could not sense a
shift of power when Hleb, for instance, dispossessed
Andrea Pirlo before setting up Fábregas to break the
deadlock?

Arsenal were barely respectful. It was as if they had come

to the home of their ageing relatives and could not stop
themselves from stealing a look at valuable belongings,
such as Champions League silverware, that they might
soon inherit.

In the first minute Milan had to be ready as Adebayor

stretched them in an attempt to break straight through
the middle. The repeated impact by the Serie A club in
this tournament has persuaded rivals only that their time
must be coming to a close.

There was no resemblance to the mauling endured by

Manchester United in last year's semi-final. Any prospect
of an onslaught lay in a display by the visitors that
teemed with confidence.

Arsenal have dimmed a little in the Premier League but

their play here blinded Milan with its intensity and
accomplishment, especially in midfield.

The decision by Ancelotti to have Kaka and Alexandre

Pato playing off Pippo Inzaghi in attack was misjudged
since it let their opponents enjoy too much possession in
midfield and so develop mastery. Any defect lay in the
failure to score before half-time.

After 14 minutes Fábregas won the ball from Kaka and hit
a pass down the right from which Adebayor picked out
Abou Diaby for an effort that was fired wide. There were
mere flurries from Milan, when Pato caused anxiety and a
Pirlo corner provoked unseemly panic before Adebayor
cleared from near his own line.

Arsenal took on a rapacious tone. With 33 minutes gone

Hleb was caught on the ankle by Alessandro Nesta
perilously close to the line of the penalty area but the
referee Konrad Palutz mistakenly decided that the Belarus
midfielder had dived and so booked him. Nothing, though,
could upset Arsenal.

Milan were in great alarm. After 28 minutes, for instance,

Paolo Maldini shanked the ball straight to Diaby, whose
drive was turned over the crossbar by the goalkeeper
Zeljko Kalac. Fábregas was nearest to breaking the
deadlock before half-time. Adebayor broke through from
the left and laid the ball off for a finish by the Spaniard
that hit the bar.

The opportunity to take stock at the interval had no

benefits for Milan. With their pride and talent they yearned

benefits for Milan. With their pride and talent they yearned
to retaliate but Arsenal kept danger at bay by mounting
constant attacks. If Wenger's heart fluttered, it might
have been when Emmanuel Eboué, booked already, dived
in the penalty area and risked dismissal. Before long he
made way for Walcott, a sharper presence on the right.

No matter what turn the game took, a masterful Arsenal

guaranteed that life would just keep on getting worse for
illustrious rivals who are not accustomed to such
indignities.

I rossoneri partono bene, ma alla fine si arrendono ai gol di Fabregas e Adebayor

L'orchestra Arsenal gela San Siro

il Milan s'inchina, Champions addio

Ambrosini in scivolata su Fabregas

MILANO - Un perfido rasoterra di Cesc Fabregas al 39' della ripresa soffoca le speranze
rossonere, sei minuti dopo Adebayor infligge alla formazione di Ancelotti il colpo di grazia.
Finisce al Meazza il ciclo vincente del Milan. La squadra dei successi internazionali, dei trionfi di
Tokyo, di Montecarlo ed Atene lascia la scena di Champions League contro un Arsenal più
giovane e fortunato. La squadra di Arsene Wenger passa ai quarti, al Milan non basta
l'esperienza, contro la giovanile brillantezza dei londinesi.

La partita è equilibrata. Il Milan manca molte occasioni ma alla fine l'Arsenal merita la vittoria e il
pubblico applaude ugualmente i rossoneri.

Carlo Ancelotti, privo di Seedorf e Jankulovski e con parecchi giocatori reduci da un periodo
difficile (Nesta e Kakà), schiera davanti il giovane Pato e il veterano Inzaghi. Wenger deve
rinunciare agli infortunati Tourè, Rosicky e Eduardo: centrocampo folto e una punta, Adebayor,
sostenuto da Hleb.

Nella prima mezzora il Milan domina la scena, spingendosi in avanti con aggressività: l'Arsenal si
difende bene proponendosi in avanti da sinistra con le incursioni di Clichy, da destra con le
puntate di Ebouè, ben fronteggiato da capitan Maldini.

Il Milan ha in Pirlo (che Flamini cerca di non far giocare) e Kakà i playmakers di una manovra che
dovrebbe trovare in Pato e Inzaghi i due terminali: il giovane brasiliano costringe all'8' la difesa
avversaria a una deviazione in angolo con un bel tiro e poi di testa, su calcio d'angolo, obbliga
Fabregas a un salvataggio sulla linea. L'Arsenal risponde al 13' con una bella manovra
Fabregas-Adebayor-Diaby sfociata in un tiro che sfiora l'incrocio dei pali.

Poi un periodo tutto rossonero con Inzaghi che al 14' non dà forza al proprio sinistro su input di
Maldini; una volata di 50 metri di Kakà al 18' e passaggio a Pato che tira debolmente; uno spunto
di Inzaghi al 20' su cui salva Clichy; con un'azione Oddo-Kakà al 22' e sinistro poco fuori del
brasiliano.

A questo punto il Milan subisce l'Arsenal che si riversa nella metà campo rossonera. Una
pericolosa azione Diaby-Adebayor sulla sinistra e bella botta deviata da Kalac. Ma l'azione più
pericolosa della squadra di Wenger è messa in atto da Adebayor e Fabregas al 34': lo spagnolo
colpisce la traversa dal limite.

Il Milan dà l'impressione, dopo il buon inizio, di aver perso mordente: a centrocampo la squadra
di Ancelotti cede qualche palla e l'Arsenal si fa veramente pericoloso.

All'inizio della ripresa (3') Senderos su calcio d'angolo si trova fra i piedi la palla del vantaggio,

All'inizio della ripresa (3') Senderos su calcio d'angolo si trova fra i piedi la palla del vantaggio,
ma la regala a Kalac. Poi al 6' è Ebouè a metter fuori una bel assist di Adebayor. Il Milan cerca di
reagire: una punizione di Pirlo al 9' costringe Almunia a una deviazione.

Un tiro alto di Pato su azione di Oddo, qualche pignoleria dell'arbitro Plautz, poi il momento
dell'ingresso di Gilardino e Walcott. Un tentativo per cambiare il volto del match. Una palla
ballerina in area (30') con Walcott al tentativo di tiro e salvataggio a terra di Kalac. Una bella
azione di Pato da destra e tiro fuori (34').

La partita sembra avviata verso lo 0-0, stesso risultato dell'andata, e quindi verso i tempi
supplementari. Ma arriva la staffilata di Fabregas che al 39' batte Kalac sulla destra e pugnala il
Milan. Poi al 47' Walcott mette in mezzo la palla del 2-0 per Adebayor.
