ON WERDER BREMEN AND TOMORROW NIGHT'S MATCH
"Werder are a team we know well, they have a lot of offensive qualities, they are quite similar to us and that's why it will be an interesting match..

It will be a difficult round for both teams, even though they are not going through a good moment in the league. These are two teams who are used to playing matches of this type, so the outcome and the result are uncertain.

Currently we have Kaká unavailable and perhaps also Pato. We will count on our football, even if on a difficult pitch like this. Beckham, as well as Pato, still has some problems and so we are waiting for today's training and tomorrow to decide where they will play.

Werder have some difficulties compared to when they met Inter, they are strong up front and they will try to take advantage of these characteristics. For Diego there is total respect because he's strong and has great qualities.

The precedent of 1989 was a very memorable double confrontation, they were two hard-fought games and I can clearly remember the protagonists and what happened in those games."

BECKHAM'S FUTURE
"We would like to keep Beckham, we have said it more than once, it depends on the two clubs."

ON THE MATCH AGAINST INTER
"Against Inter the physicality of their strikers caused us problems, but we played well and this must happen also tomorrow to obtain a good result.
The fact that Adriano wasn't suspended was right."

These are, instead, the declarations made by the Milan coach, this morning at the Malpensa international airport, before boarding the flight that brought the team to Bremen for tomorrow night's Uefa Cup match against Werder:

ON TOMORROW’S CLASH AGAINST WERDER BREMEN
“Tomorrow evening’s game will be a difficult match because at home they are a very tough team. Werder have a very offensive game, they are a team full of players with great qualities and attack with the entire team. If they have the control of the game it can become a difficult match and we must not allow this to happen. It’s not an easy round, qualifying would mean making a step forward towards the final.”

ON TOMORROW’S FORMATION
“Dida will play in goal. With regards to the rest of the team there will be a turnover in defence, because Maldini cannot play three games in a week. Inzaghi will play in attack because right now he's the only available attacker."

ON THE SEASON’S OBJECTIVES
“One of the main objectives of the season is that of going back into the Champions League, but even the Uefa Cup remains an important objective in this last part of the season, because it allows us to play an important final.”

ON NESTA
“Let’s hope that everything goes well and that he finally manages to solve the problems that have kept him out for all of this season.”
