8/3/2006
MILAN - Carlo Ancelotti spoke about Milan’s UEFA situation: ‘Everyone knows Milan’s history. We want to continue to play in the Champions League. The climate in Italy isn’t good, but luckily there’s the field. What counts is what happens on the field, not the gossip.’ Then coach then spoke about Red Star Belgrade, Milan’s next opponents: ‘They are a tough team, especially because they are arriving at this fixture having already prepared ahead of time. They are a team to fear, especially because we don’t have a lot of time between now and the third qualifying round.’ In finishing, the coach spoke about the positive signs from the Lecco-Milan friendly: ‘In the first place, we didn’t have any injuries. In addition, we scored. So, things went well. Gourcuff? He’s doing well on the left, I will continue to try him out there.’
