Carlo Ancelotti has called on Serie A coaches to ignore Jose Mourinho's attempts to provoke them this season.
The Inter coach has already fired a verbal volley at his Juventus opposite number Claudio Ranieri, accusing him of not having a winning mentality. However, the AC Milan man said: "I like Mourinho but he likes to court the press and he can be provocative. "I enjoy our exchanges but the important thing is not to take what he says seriously." One area where the 49-year-old has little to laugh about is his side's poor pre-season form and he admitted that things were not going to plan. The former Parma and Juventus tactician said: "The only area that is working is the midfield and the injuries we have had are taking their toll." |

For crying out loud, it's worse in English than it was in Italian. The media have gone nuts. Menace? Ridiculous.

QUOTE Ancelotti: 'Mourinho provocatore' Il tecnico del Milan, Carlo Ancelotti ha dichiarato: "Mourinho è simpatico, ma gli piace discutere a distanza sui giornali. L'importante è non andare sul pesante e rispondere sempre con ironia. L'Inter resta favorita per lo scudetto, finora ha mostrato grande solidità in difesa. La Juve ha fatto un mercato giusto, la sorpresa sarà il Napoli". (Corriere dello Sport) Portikins quoted it in the Serie A thread earlier today. |
