| Carletto strikes back |

Milan tactician Carlo Ancelotti has hit out at Jose Mourinho, suggesting Inter played better football under Roberto Mancini.
Mourinho angered many in the peninsula on Sunday by claiming that some Coaches in Italy aren't allowed to even pick their starting 11.
The head of the Italian Coaches Association Renzo Ulivieri demanded an apology from the Special One.
“I agree with Ulivieri - our Coaches are respected in Italy and abroad,” Ancelotti told the Corriere dello Sport.
“I don't understand why Mourinho always takes aim at Milan, but at this stage I don't even care.
“Is it a planned strategy? I don't know what he hopes to get from this or what he is trying to achieve.
“If Inter win the Scudetto then they will have deserved it. They know how to get the best out of their players and they are very strong physically.
“But I think that Mancini's side was identical, only they tried to play the ball to feet. Now Inter are just very clinical.”
Ancelotti hasn't had a successful season at home or in Europe and Milan are expected to make sweeping changes in the summer.
“It is true that we need to overhaul our side, but I don't think it needs to be a revolution,” Carletto insisted.
“We still have important young players like Alexandre Pato and veterans such as Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso who can give a lot to this team.”
