Celtic clash vital, says Gattuso Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso rates Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Celtic as the most important game of the season so far.
The Rossoneri were held to a goalless draw in the first leg and the former Rangers man is aware of what is at stake at the San Siro tomorrow night.
“There is no doubt that it will be a memorable night. This match is the most important one of our campaign and it won't be easy to forget that,†said Gattuso to Il Corriere dello Sport.
“It’s a very delicate encounter and we have to face it with a winning mentality. The Scottish side will be dangerous and will never give up.
“I believe we can turn the dream into reality, qualifying for the quarter-finals would confirm that we are one of the strongest sides in Europe.â€
Milan will start the tie as favourites, but Ringhio has requested that the Rossoneri supporters turn out in force.
“I want to call on our tifosi,†he added. “My teammates and I want to see a full Meazza as their encouragement can help us in this difficult match.â€
The northern giants have had a problematic campaign, but normality seems to be returning to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
“Milan are even better and more amazing than in the past,†added the Italian international.
“This team has managed to overcome enormous difficulties at the start of the season, mainly because it is strongly equipped, proud and brave.
“Furthermore, our Coach has created a group of players who are willing to do their duty for Milan and the results are evident.â€

QUOTE Ancelotti trusts in DidaTuesday 6 March, 2007Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Nelson Dida will start in goal against Champions League rivals Celtic. The Brazilian was heckled by his own fans in the 3-1 win over Chievo on Saturday after he was responsible for the Verona side’s goal, but the Coach is confident that Dida will prove his worth on Wednesday. “Dida will play,†said Ancelotti at Milanello on Tuesday. “After all, he is one of the best ‘keepers in the world. “I am sure he will have a great game tomorrow. He has been here for some time and we know him well. “There is not even the slightest chance that he won’t react to the mistakes he made against Chievo.†While Dida will start, Ancelotti is still unsure whether he will be able to field captain Paolo Maldini in defence. “Yesterday he worked with the team, but we need to verify his condition again even if we hope he will be available,†added the former midfielder. Milan are in pole position to qualify after the 0-0 draw in Glasgow, but Ancelotti is demanding focus from his troops in the last 16 tie. “We don’t have to think about making any calculations. I think that if we play with consistency and conviction for 90 minutes then we have a good chance of doing well,†he explained. “Celtic are a physical side and we are not the favourites, the game will be played out on the field. However, I believe that our fans will know how to help us. “I know that there are still some unsold tickets, but I think that between now and tomorrow many people will rush to buy them. “Will I field one or two strikers? I don’t have any doubts, I am sure we will do well no matter what. In any case, we will play with two strikers, although I’m not sure how you consider Kaka…†channel4 That's the way to go! Show them disrespectful fans!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) As for the line-up... I guess it's one striker after all. Forza Ragazzi!!

QUOTE Boruc the key against Milan
Former Celtic goalkeeper Gordon Marshall has backed Bhoys No 1 Artur Boruc to be the hero in the Scottish champions’ match with Milan. The two sides meet in the Champions League after a 0-0 first leg draw in Glasgow. “Artur will be key for Celtic,†claimed Marshall. “Milan have proved they are a quality side and although they didn’t create many chances at Celtic Park I’m sure it will be different at the San Siro. Boruc’s defensive colleagues will all need to be on their toes over there, but Celtic have a great resilience and mental strength and I can see them going through.â€
