Ancelotti declaration during the eve of AC MILAN - LIVORNO

“Doubts and certainties for tomorrow? There will not be Pato or Kaka. Gattuso will return, just like Gila, following his suspension of last Sunday. For the rest, we must evaluate those who played on Sunday. Probably Nesta will not play, because he has not yet recovered from the back problems, and even Maldini, who I must rest for one round. Pirlo and Ambrosini are fine, they have recovered and will be available. Pato is a bit behind Kaka. Ricky will be available against Parma. Ronaldo? It’s a condition not physical problem. There is the possibility of making him work well this week and propose him against Parma. Gattuso is fine, he has recovered very quickly, also thanks to the great application that he had in under taking the treatment. He is particular in this, he’s a great professional. Seedorf is fine, he recovered from the ankle injury. Gourcuff? Tomorrow could be a chance also for him."

“If Inzaghi has difficulty in his recovery, Paloschi will play from the start. Otherwise he will start from the bench and Inzaghi will play. Pippo with Gila? It’s a possibility, at most we shall put a traffic light! (he jokes and laughs). Paloschi is very young, just like Pato, and he still has the possibility to form himself and grow. Pato is already physically formed. Alberto will surely stay with us next year, the intention is of adding him to the squad of the first team. If I was moved after his first goal? Something incredible happen, at times football can reserve these unexpected emotions and surprises for everyone. We hoped in the goal, but to happen for real it was a great surprise. To develop the young ones? Kaka and Pato have become first team players. At Milan to play you must be very good. For Paloschi it’s different, he must grow, acquire personality and knowledge, we need more caution.”

“The young ones give enthusiasm, I see them careful. In the case of Pato and Paloschi, they seem to me very mature and settled, without the danger of easy enthusiasms. Milan is a team which manages to add in the best way any type of age. No one pays the fact of being added to the team. A normal rapport is created between the team mates, also amongst the younger ones and the most expert."

"With the arrival of Camolese, Livorno changed gear as it climbed up the standings and found the right goal scoring vein of Tavano. It’s a healthy formation, just like Siena was. Even the Amaranti played on Sunday. From a rhythm point of view, I think that we shall have less difficulty than in the last game, where we found problems tied to the long inactivity of many players who were coming back following an injury. It’s very important to have recovered them, they will useful for us from now onwards.”

“The team is doing well, because it's evaluating well the moment. Tomorrow we consider it as a great chance. From when we started again, we did more from the points level than what we thought we could do, we almost always won. Tomorrow we have the great chance of returning to the fourth place.”

“Referees? They make mistakes because to ref is not easy. They made mistakes towards everyone. There is no subjection. More errors in favour of Inter? Just chance. The appeal of Catania on Materazzi? It’s something to ask the club, but it has already happened before that a player who is not fine on Wednesday recovers for Sunday.”

“Ronaldo? On Sunday he was not in the best condition to play, if I had other possibilities I wouldn't have sent him on the pitch. Paloschi from the first minute was excessive in my opinion, so not to charge him too much. On Sunday I appreciated Ronie's will to help out, despite the fact that he wasn't in good condition. If Ronaldo finds the right conditions, his contract will be renewed. He has problems tied to the conditions, which he did not manage to find due to the numerous injuries. We have passed a period of emergency and we still are. Now Inzaghi has recovered, Kaka and Pato will do so in a week's time. We can risk of not having Ronaldo in the best form."

“Returning in fourth place could be an advantage, but we know that the fight will continue till the end, as we face great opponents. The training camp of Dubai did us well, it was an important period, especially for those like us who have the possibility to work during the week. If we think that from now until May we will only have two weeks without work, from the 9th until 16th March and the 13th up to 20th April, we have little time to develop a certain work of physical and tactical work. You find it difficult to train, from every point of view."
