Reaction Tim Trophy Tournament: "These matches are also useful to find the competitive atmosphere because they are friendlies only in name," says AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti.
ItaliaWhat else can AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti say after winning the 8th edition of the 2008 Tim Trophy Tournament? Sure, he is all happy seeing his team battling like lions even without Pato and Ronaldinho who are now with the Brazilian National Olympic Team.
Here are the comments he made after winning the Trophy:
"We started these preparations with the right rhythm, aside from a few hiccups, everything is going well. These matches are also useful to find the competitive atmosphere because they are friendlies only in name. There are some positive notes from this tournament, the players did well, especially up front, always creating excellent solutions. There was a lot of pressure from the full backs in the first game, we just made some mistakes at the back and could have avoided conceding the goals, but this will come in time.
Turin, Tim Trophy Tournament uesday, July 29, 2008 - AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti
My opinion of the first half is positive, we played an excellent match,
with a good rhythm and we had some good chances up front even though we had only
Paloschi in attack. Kaká moves very well in this position.

Abbiati? He did very well, also saving the penalties. He showed he is a reliable goalkeeper so in goal it will be a nice battle for the first choice spot."
