Reduced era in the first set from 2003 to 2001, in Milan era was an amazing assistman but he scored the his first goal after 2 years.

Updated Milan set

MEN: 82>78
TW: 94>90

Some points over the Milan set should be discussed.

STA should be stay in low green numbers (75/76) he was at that seasons a static amf, very stiff into from the area, he barely run on the matches, guess that comes from his age, and from the lack of constancy of play every giornata, since Kaká always was the first choice of Ancelotti. That also has to affect the value of CON since he was sometime the old rui and some matches and in others a poor(really) playmaker.

I guess that Talisman is added there cause' his apps in the portuguese NT since in milan at least in those seasons i don't remember him like the leader of the game for Milan.

Does he really deserve SA 79 and ST 82 in Milan's set? They're both quite higher than Fiorentina's set.
Although, he scored only 11 goals in nearly 200 matches with Milan, some of them being from dead ball situation.

No.
Update him.
