велике протистояння, історичне протистояння двох великих клубів, які в «нульових» двічі грали між собою у фіналах Ліги чемпіонів. Але зараз розподіл сил у цьому протистоянні, на мою думку, нерівний. Ми не звикли «Мілан» бачити у Лізі чемпіонів останніми роками, не звикли бачити протистояння «Мілана» з найсильнішими європейськими командами, до числа яких безумовно відноситься команда Юргена Клоппа.
It’s 20 years to the day(09.09.2001 - прим.Романисти) since Afghan resistance legend (& civil war warlord) Ahmad-Shah Massoud was killed by al Qaeda operatives. Bin Laden evidently thought Massoud might prove key to western plans to retaliate for 9/11. Pic of me + Massoud in Jabal os-Saraj 1992 [700x525]
The lion of Panjshir. Often wonder how post 9/11 Afghanistan might have developed were he still alive. Would he have been a force for good (as I like to think) or a negative influence (as some suggest)? Thoughts?
So hard to say. He could easily have been defence minister under Karzai but somehow think he would not have been allowed to take overall charge as unacceptable to so many Pashtuns
We filmed as he passed down lines of troops that he had just ordered into Kabul. They cheered him like some medieval Khan, and were evidently ready to follow any order he gave. A man with real charisma

They did indeed help him. Not massive amounts of materiel but careful interventions like supplying him with secure radios and training his middle ranking commanders
Apologies to followers who may have heard this one … but showing the picture to a Panjshiri guy at a checkpoint in 2004, he kissed the image of Massoud and said to me “you were young then but now you are old’’!
