West Ham Transfers: 5 Reasons To Be Excited About Massimo Ambrosini

2. Turn Overs

ambrosini5 While Ambrosini€™s work is known mostly for preventing goal-scoring opportunities from occurring, his midfield mastery also extends to the quick turn overs he can provide his team. After winning the ball for his squad, Ambro was excellent at distributing the ball toward the offensive and attacking players who would go on to establish great counter-attacks and goals. This can be evidenced in the semi-final second leg of the 2006-2007 Champions League matchup €“ AC Milan vs. Manchester United. On the lead-up to Milan€™s third goal, Ambrosini disrupted Manchester United€™s possession in the midfield and won the ball for his squad. He then was able to launch a precise through ball forward for striker Alberto Gilardino who scored on a wonderful attack. Another great example was also in the 2006-2007 Champions League, when Milan defeated Celtic 1-0 at home. Ambrosini made a wonderful through pass to Kaka who went on to score a beautiful goal. Ambrosini was able to help Milan transition from defense to attack in a matter of seconds. A skill desperately required for teams.
