Last match, I can't believe that he is a man with 2-year-injury. He plays like as he did 2 years ago.

During years, I always think Sheva - Pippo is the best choice for us ... One is around, attracts defenders, one hides and suddenly appears then kills ...

PIPPO ALWAYS SUPER

Pippo Inzagi has been looking back over the season that ended in triumph in Athens and ahead to the new campaign

Pippo Inzaghi was a guest on Milan Channel where he looked back at what was a wonderful season for the striker. He said: 'The night in Athens was magical, scoring twice. I still can't believe it happened. I am going to stay in Italy for my vacation, to be close to everyone, I like the affection from the people. I will be with my family and relax for a bit in the sun.'

As for his contract. 'I feel part of the family and I want to stay. I feel great here and it's a pity that the season is over. I have to thank Berlusconi and Galliani for extending my deal to 2011 before I left for Antwerp. This is the difference with Milan compared to other clubs. I don't think anyone else would have done that before an operation.'

Pippo is now on 284 goals and is setting his sights on 300: 'I want to reach this target but winning trophies with the team is more important.' He was also the first back last summer when Milan had to play the Champions League preliminary round: 'I was in Sardinia, I had just arrived so I got on the first plane back. We knew it wasn't right to have to play it and the first thing I thought was that I would be playing on my birthday (August 9).'

It all ended well in Athens where Pippo scored twice against Liverpool: 'The first was instinctive, it's all you could do in a position like that. I had done it before in the derby. Kakà did well for the second goal. The goalkeeper Reina did well to wait until the last moment and it was lucky the ball went under him. However, once I had gone wide and shot then I knew I had scored.'

President Berlusconi predicted the forward would score both in Munich and Athens: 'He has always had faith in me. He called me before both games to ask me to score two.' As for the national side: 'It's great to be back, we are all together and working alongside the coach.'

Looking ahead to next season: 'The club have done well. The team does not need changing. Then, if a few top players arrive that will help the side. The Italian and foreign players intergrate well. The there are players like Maldini and Costacurta who show everyone how to behave, both at Milanello and on the pitch.'

And what Gilardino has had to say: 'Alberto is young and needs our help. He's a great player and great friend. I think he can be a Milan striker for the next 10 years. He's well liked in the dressing room and this is important.'

Pippo is looking forward to playing in the Club World Cup: 'I am looking forward to going back and we really want to win it but it's one thing at a time and first we have the European Super Cup. We have five objectives we want to reach.'

On other themes: 'Maldini should win the Golden Ball for his career and Kakà for what he has done this season. I am pleased Ancelotti has renewed his contract. It wasn't easy for him to make the decision over the strikers for the final in Athens. The coach had to look at the moment not the past.'

A final word for the fans: 'I want to thank them. They have always remained close to me, not just in Athens but through the difficult times.'
