“I've been working with Inzaghi for 10 years, I can't stand the sight of him
anymore! It's great to see him play like this and he may be 36, but he
has the enthusiasm of a kid and that is his secret.” Inzaghi's hat-trick
sparked a 5-1 victory over Torino that sent Milan into joint second place
with Juventus “This team still has a lot to give, even though this season
the performances have been inconsistent. Tonight we got both the result
and good football, which we haven't always managed recently.
The pleasant surprise was Flamini, who interpreted the full-back role very
well with pace, attacking momentum and good passing. Considering he
hadn't played there this year, he did extremely well.” Milan are now
second and are the most prolific team in Serie A, earning more points
and conceding fewer goals at home than any other side, yet they were
out of the title race by February. “I think Milan worked well on the transfer
market with useful players, but the trouble is we haven't been able to
use many of them due to injuries, such as Borriello. In the crucial weeks
of the season we lost precious points because of that situation."
“It's true we have dropped precious points on our travels in games where
we were often leading, such as at Torino and Lecce,” continued
Ancelotti. “The team has not changed its attitude, but perhaps the
absence of experienced players at the back makes itself felt more away
from home when the opposition is more attacking." “The important thing
is to finish in the top three, whether second or third is irrelevant. Of
course there is a prestige to being runners-up to Inter and we can think
about this now that we have a good advantage over fourth.”
