"During the match it would be nice if the crowd encouraged us because on the pitch we need everyone," AC Milan Midfielder Andrea Pirlo

By Anna Italia

It's so refreshing to see AC Milan "Sleepy Prince" Andrea Pirlo training as normal to recover his best shape.  I need to see a fit Pirlo to read the matches well and make those exact free kick passes. 

By the way, guys, AC Milan is preparing 2 matches this week!!!!  On Thursday, February 26 is the UEFA Cup Round of 32 Second Leg AC MILAN - WERDER BREMEN and on Sunday, March 1 is the Italian Serie Week 26 match SAMPDORIA - AC MILAN.

Here are the declarations made by Andrea Pirlo after the training session today Monday, February 23, 2009 talking about yesterday's match against Cagliari, David Beckham and Milan's season.

PIRLO A SAN SIRO

Andrea, yesterday there was a nice victory.  AC MILAN 1 - 0 CAGLIARI

"Yes, it was fundamental to get the three points despte the absences, especially up front. It was a difficult match and it was important what the team managed to do."

Did you feel the absence of Kaká and Pato?

"They are two important players for Milan, let's hope they recover quickly. I hope they will be available for Thursday against Werder, a physical team, they're a bit slow at the back and two players like Kaká and Pato could really help us."

Yesterday at San Siro there were whistles aimed at Clarence Seedorf.

"Whistles never do anyone any good, particularly to slightly weaker players. That's not Clarence's case who has a great personality and whistles don't bother him. Other players suffer more from that and their performances on the pitch are influenced. What we can tell the fans is to wait for the end of the match to evaluate whether or not they are happy with the team, but during the match it would be nice if the crowd encouraged us because on the pitch we need everyone. In the end the most important thing is the result and the victory satisfies everyone."

Do you still believe in the Scudetto?

"As long as there's hope I believe in it. We have to win every match and hope that the teams in front make some mistakes. We only have to think about giving our all."

How is it to play with Beckham in midfield?
\
"He's a very useful player for my way of playing because when I am marked he comes to pick up the ball. When the play develops up front he is always present, he sends in many crosses. He's a very important player for Milan."

When you win the ball near the area, mostly the striker served by you finds himself in a dangerous position.

"It happens because I am closer to the opposition's goal and it's easier for me to play it to a striker. Of course sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't."
