Carlo Ancelotti insists Milan must play with the same aggression as their 5-1 thumping of Reggina in all four remaining matches.
“We had a good start with impressive play and determination, quickly breaking the deadlock so we could hit them on the counter,” explained the Coach.
A victory was needed to stay within four points of Fiorentina in that final Champions League berth.
“The gap is still there, but we must continue along this path right to the end. Our objective is to prepare one game at a time and try to win them all.”
Kaka has been struggling with injury for the past few months, but proved he is back in top shape with a hat-trick.
“Kaka’s absence really weighed on us in decisive games that proved crucial to falling behind in the Champions League race. It’s only natural and now he is finding his best form.
“Clarence Seedorf sacrificed himself for the team today with characteristics that are not his own. Great champions are always able to put the squad first and it is inevitable in any League in Europe now.”
The Rossoneri strike force had been disappointing of late, but this 5-1 thrashing with goals from Pippo Inzaghi and Alexandre Pato revived them.
“At the moment our centre-forward is Inzaghi, even if Pato is a different type of player. There’s no such thing as pure centre-forwards anymore, now there are complete forwards.”
