AC MILAN: NOT JUST DOWN TO INCIDENTS

/noticias.info/ MILANELLO - Carlo Ancelotti held his press conference ahead of the Milan-Lecce game. The coach said: 'We’ll decide on Gattuso in training today. I haven’t said that he can’t play. He felt bad in the first half at Istanbul but didn’t ask to come off, I took him off in the last fifteen minutes due to tiredness. We’ll have all the players back in training, Vieri is also there even though he has a bit of a muscle problem. However, Kakà will definitely not play. Stam will be back as he feels fresh and ready to play. I’ll probably confirm Simic as well. He played well in Istanbul as he has done whenever he has come in.'

Turning to all issues: 'We have to stay on our guard because Lecce are a very fast side, they lost at Parma but played well. Then they won. Konan is in form as is Vucinic, we’ll have to watch out for their speed. As for Shevchenko, he’s been doing well for a while, he came back and played well in Istanbul. Van Basten may have been easier on the eye but maybe Shevchenko is a better finisher. Even when he is not in form we can take advantage of the situation.'

The coach added: 'Istanbul came during a good period for the team. We showed our quality at Florence even if we were a bit distracted. Overall, the team played well and consisently. It’s clear that a few incidents and a bit of our lack of attention. We have to be good at controlling the game because we can hit at any moment. The team is fit, I don’t see any players tired and even if we haven’t had much time we are well prepared for the Lecce game.' notas_de_prensa_archivo
