Ancelotti Gives Juve Fans The Finger!

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti could be in hot water after making an obscene gesture to the Juventus fans at last night's Trofeo TIM.

The Rossoneri were taking part in the annual three-way competition in Turin with Juventus and Inter when Ancelotti reacted angrily to verbal abuse from sections of the home crowd by raising his middle finger.

This obscene gesture could put Ancelotti in trouble with the footballing authorities, and he has already moved to apologise for his actions.

"Yes I did raise my little finger and it was my response to the ignorant people," explained Carletto, who coached Juventus from 1999 to 2001.

"With hindsight I think that I would do the same thing. There's no need to look for video evidence because I'm not scared to admit what I did.

"It's the first time that I have reacted like that and perhaps the last but I couldn't accept those insults.

"Luckily it was a little isolated group who would have been better off at home. They also had abuse for Jose Mourinho, Gianluca Zambrotta, Marco Materazzi and Dejan Stankovic."

Milan won the Trofeo Tim after defeating both Juventus and Inter on penalties, and Ancelotti was pleased with what he saw from his side.

"I was happy with our performances this evening, even if we gave away goals a little too easily," he stated.

"Abbiati had a great evening and I am happy for him. It will be a good battle for the No 1 shirt."

Goalkeeper Abbiati was the hero of the shoot-out win against Inter, saving three spot-kicks, as well as making a wonder-stop from Olivier Dacourt during normal time.

What a loser.

I see people are going easy on Carlo for some reason though, let's see what happens when Jose does his first controversial thing of the season!

Ancelotti is a top-coach, a role-model for many young lads, should have been more careful.

As for the fans, it's natural (in 'latin-countries' like Italy, Spain, Portugal this things to happen. We love to insult, provoke, etc. We're nothing like the British, German, etc).

He should have been more careful ... But if, of all people, Carlo gives a reaction like that, it must have been something very harsh that was being thrown at him

Who cares? He shouldn't have done that. Period.

Cristiano Ronaldo had 65.000 people booing and insulting him in Luz (Benfica stadium) and showed that finger.
Not only he was punished by UEFA but even nowadays (that was 3-4 years ago) many, I mean MANY, people hate him and don't respect him in Portugal. People didn't forget that thing and will always be in their memories when the name "Cristiano Ronaldo" appears.

Who cares if that 65.000 were insulting his mother, father, dog, etc? It was him, who earn zillions, who gets the best girls around, who plays for the best clubs in the world, who have the best cars, a role-model for thousands of kids in the world... who should be careful. Not the 65.000 people.

I didn't say it was an excuse ... I'm saying it must have been something really harsh to provoke someone like Carlo, who really doesn't give into such things ... Was it right or wrong ? It was wrong no questions asked.



p.s. CR is a piece of trash ... People like Figo or Rui those were class, those were the men. So no matter what this kid wins, no matter what individual award is won by him he will remain trash! Him back stabbing Rooney at the WC, you could see right there what type of a person he is. I wouldn't be surprised if he did show that finger. The person I'd be surprised at is Carlo !!

Figo only thinks about money. He's no example, though he's a gentleman. Rui, Vitor Baia, Paulo Sousa, Futre, etc were class.

But Rooney is no example too. No player in Man Utd is an example to anybody. Just a bunch of arrogant pric...

Exactly. I'd take one Rui over a dozen Figos. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I'm not talking about Figo the player - he was of course one of the absolute best - but if I wanted to be like anyone, it'd be someone along the lines of Rui Costa.
