MILAN INJURY FEARS

Last updated : 29 April 2007 By Editor

Carlo Ancelotti [Milan manager]

"The only player in doubt today is Maldini but we still have four days to get him fit.

"Gattuso will definitely be available, however.

"I would have taken a 3-2 defeat before the game because it is not a score we should worry about.

"Our performance was perfect apart from a few minutes when we let the result slip away.

"People have criticised our goalkeeper for making mistakes for two of United's goals, but only when I believe Dida has become a problem will I make a change. At this time he still has all my confidence.

"Kaka will show he is the best player of all. Rooney has great power and Ronaldo has a technique to play at speed which is superior to anybody else. But what makes Kaka unique is that he is effective creating goals and turning his talent into scoring goals himself.

"People have compared him to Zidane, who was outstanding, but Kaka is more concrete and much more effective that he was."

More:

"They (United) are doing well in the championship and have extended their lead over Chelsea so they will have less pressure than they would have had with a bad result.

"But a Champions League semi-final is something special. It will be a game where we have to play at our best without losing concentration but with the right level of intensity and serenity.

"If we play like we did for an hour at Old Trafford we can do it."
