THE MATCH AT CAGLIARI
"Cagliari has changed coach and we don't know the identity of this team very well. It will certainly be a complicated match, but we've been working well and we can make it. Sonetti has great experience, he's a very determined person who will certainly leave his mark on Cagliari. Foggia? He's a player who likes to play on the wing, in our system of play he didn't find much space. Ronaldo will play from the start, he's doing well, and he will finally give his contribution. We expect from him what he gave us last year. He wants to play more than anyone else. Seedorf got a knock during training, his ankle got hurt, while Kaladze and Simic only came back yesterday and are quite tired, they will work to be ready for Wednesday. Seedorf hadn't played last Wednesday with his national team, and he was doing well, so it's a shame, while Kaká will have to play despite not being in top shape. But even if Seedorf had been doing well Kaká would have been called up, in that case he would have started from the bench, now instead he will play from the start. Inzaghi caught the flu tonight so Gilardino will play alongside Ronaldo. The only doubts regarding the formation are about the full backs. In the league we want to do well and improve our performances from now until just before Christmas. We have to get as many points as we can and it won't be easy. Fortunately the international break did not bring about any serious injuries or fatigue to the players, so we are ready to fix a few things from now until the trip to Tokyo."

KAKA AND THE GOLDEN BALL
"I'd be surprised if Kaká did not win the Golden Ball, but the news is not official yet."

THE ADRIANO CASE
"Handling players is not easy, but at Milan every player has a clear history with the club and a precise identity, it's difficult to comment on Adriano's case. I hope that he will be able to solve his problems quickly. He has the quality and I think Inter know what they're doing."

RONALDO'S USE
"Ronaldo has rarely played the full 90 minutes with us but he will. He certainly has unique characteristics and those are enough for us. Ronaldo has moments of true brilliance and that's what we count on, I'm convinced he can do well."

AWAY FANS BAN
"The decision to prohibit organised away trips for fans somewhat limits the freedom of the individuals, but I think something had to be done in this sense. This way the organised fan groups are limited and the chance of incidents occurring decreases."

PATO
"Let's remember he's the only winner of the Club World Cup we have in our squad. Too bad he won't be with us in Tokyo. In any case if a Brazilian representative would ask us to make him play, I would not oppose that, he strongly needs to play."
