AC Milan Forward Alberto Gilardino "Succeeding to bring home this trophy would be the crowning of a great dream for me and this group.”
YOKOHAMA – These are the declarations of Alberto Gilardino at the end of the morning training session to the microphones of Milan Channel:Alberto this is your first morning training since you’ve been here at Yokohama. What are your sensations?
“Good sensations three days before the game. We are preparing ourselves well, and little by little we managed to adapt to the jet lag so that we can be in the best possible conditions for the semi-final.”
In Italy playing every three days you do not have so much time for training.
“No, we did not have the possibility to work in this way due to the many games close to each other. Here in Japan we had the possibility to sustain heavier workloads.”
Before you posed for a photo with two fans who came from Venice.
“Yes, it pleases us to see that we are followed even here in Japan. Let’s hope on Thursday that we can count on many fans and even on Sunday evening, we hope, in case of the eventual final.”
What does this competition represent for you?
“I’ve been here for two and a half years, almost three years, and I have already won a Champions League and a European Super Cup. Succeeding to bring home this trophy would be the crowning of a great dream for me and this group.”
Ronaldo?
“Ronie is an important player. It will be up to me and Pippo to substitute him. We are both going through a good moment right now, and from our part there will always be the effort to succeed.”
I have confidence in Gilardino for this match, trusting my guts guys.

I think a lot of the players realize that this may be their last chance to realize this dream. I hope the dream comes true . . .

Kenntak you bet "a lot of the players realize that this may be their last chance to realize this dream."
The dream might come true if ALL 11 eleven players join forces to focus on the field. Keep their heads cool and EXECUTE well Ancelotti's plan. Milan cannot rely only on one player. It is a crucial match because the Semifinal is against the hometeam.
I do trust GILARDINO and even RONALDO. If Ancelotti goes with 2 forwards. I am sure there will be a well coordination between Gila-Inzaghi. Milan players have a different attitude when playing in international matches. It's like black and white, a total transformation.

milanista in the past we might have been tough with Gilardino, but this time we have no option than trust our guys. I do trust GILARDINO and think "the inner chip" will work for him.
