1901 - The Tricolore the Devils - ^ Part II

The first team of Milan

To stop the unchallenged reign of Genoa we thought that Milan in 1901 won the first championship of his long and glorious football history. That the participants were five. In the eliminatory phase, as mentioned above, played the first two games at the same time. In Turin Juventus the fury of "travolse" veterans of Gymnastics in Turin that arresero to white with heavy liabilities of 0-5, the highest result ever achieved so far during the league official. Juventus qualifies, therefore, easily the semifinal which was to see the winners of the elimination of Piedmont, Juventus said, and the winners of the elimination of Lombardy in 1901 that were the rossoneri. The Milan, the same day it was imposed, the Arena Civic Trotter of Milan, with the result of 2-0 on the Mediolanum cousins, the absolute number of the tournament. The semifinal to say the truth was the most exciting game of 'Entire tournament. Played in Turin, on the Piazza d'weapons, ended with the victory of "devils" to 3-2 against Juventus, the two teams are fighting to face open throughout the match and the result was never granted. The final, as provided for the regulation, besides being disputed between the outgoing champions, the Genoa, and the winners of the remaining stages, Milan, took place on earth Ligurian always Ponte Carrega. This time, despite the experience factor and the griffins field, had to surrender to a very strong and very motivated Milan, which dominated throughout the race, winning 3-0 with a dry and ripping the title at Genoa that kept him from three consecutive years . In reality the outcome circulating various assumptions, although it seems that we have registered for the event, the triplet of Herbert Kilpin, there are currents that would be the winner Milan yes, but with minimal waste, or 1-0 and not with the results reported in some of the major sports annals, in this second version Kilpin would have only one network.
