Declarations of Rossoneri coach Carlo Ancelotti
Here are the declarations of Rossoneri coach Carlo Ancelotti to Milan Channel's microphones today at Milanello before the afternoon training session:
Coach, Sunday night Juventus arrive at San Siro. What emotions will this match give, given also Juventus' negative moment?
"The two teams arrive at Sunday's match in different states of mind. Milan are in a good moment while Juventus are going through a delicate situation, there's a bit of bad humor, but considering our point of view, a team in difficulty could find energies that could be indispensable for the moment they are going through. That's why we have to prepare it with a lot of attention, knowing that we have to take advantage of this moment. Matches between these two teams, in any case, are always fascinating and very strongly felt. They also give a good feeling when you're able to win."
In the history of Milan-Juventus, with Carlo Ancelotti on the pitch, there was a great goal at San Siro.
"Yes, I remember it well, it was the end of December, a great goal, a nice memory."
In 2005 (Milan-Juventus of 8 May 2005) would you have preferred to play the match at night?
"I don't know if it would have changed if we had played Milan-Juventus at night, certainly it would have given us an advantage because we came from an unhappy moment: we had lost the Champions League semifinal even though we qualified anyway, but the team was tired and I don't think that playing the match at night would have given us an advantage."
After having seen the images of Gigi Buffon during the match against Lecce last Sunday, as someone who knows him, how do you think he is going through this moment?
"I think his gestures were tied to the great affection and great professionalism Buffon has towards his team mates and the club. However, only they know what happened. I think we will find a very determined Buffon, as will be Juventus."
declarations of Gianluca Zambrotta
These are the declarations of Gianluca Zambrotta to Milan Channel, today at Milanello, after the training session:
Gianluca, you have been used by the coach both on the right and on the left hand side during the game against Catania.
“These are decisions which the coach takes during the game, he knows that he can play me on both sides. Now the team only wants to continue going forward like this and win the last games which we still have to try and remain in second place.”
Milan-Juventus: it’s the hot zone of the league because from now until the end there will be four teams who have always remained in the top positions of the standings.
“These will be four very difficult games because these are all teams who are fighting to reach the Uefa Cup or to reach the preliminary round of the Champions League.”
Milan arrives to the clash on Sunday from a series of five consecutive wins.
“The wins always give morale, then apart from positive results, we are also playing well and this leads to think more positively than before. We are better also in condition, this is an important fact and we hope to maintain this physical form until the end of the season.”
What game do you expect on Sunday?
“An important game for us and it will be difficult because Juventus are a team who never give up, it will be tough.”
During the past days there were the second legs of the Champions League semi finals. How would you have seen this Milan side against these four teams?
“Right now Milan could have played against all four teams who arrived to the semi finals. We came out maybe too late due to many factors, but the important thing is to end the season and place ourselves amongst the top three in the league, so that we can start next year at great levels.”
