I might be really brave and try to follow the text commentary in Russian. I'll be at work, sadly.
Anyway, here's acmilan.com's english translation of what Carletto said at Malpensa just before the flight to Moscow:
ON THE MOSCOW TOURNAMENT "Now we go to play these two games hoping to do well. They are important tests and we will certainly meet two strong teams."
ON THE NEXT LEAGUE "I think the next league season will be much more balanced compared to last year because all the teams have done good things on the transfer market and the quality has definitely improved."
MARKET MOVES "Paloschi is staying because he is the only striker we have available along with Kaká so he will play these two matches. The Uruguayans, meanwhile, will train with us. Cardacio is a national team player. Viudez, meanwhile, is an '89 player, he's a bit younger. They will train with us and then we will see in twenty days if he will train with the Primavera or if he'll stay with us."
ON THE GOALKEEPERS "The competition? It has to help everyone, not only Seedorf. Also between the keepers, it's not necessary that it's the same one the whole year. There can be some drops in form, but I don't think the turn-over makes much sense, even though right now Abbiati is not advantaged over Kalac."
INJURIES SITUATION "Borriello has a problem which he will solve quickly. So we have to wait for him. Sheva meanwhile will play his season at Chelsea. Nesta still has to rest. Maldini, meanwhile, is fine."
Nesta needs to get better fast!
And it would seem that the deal for the Uruguayan kids is for real.
