Ok, Anna, calm down!!  Well, I have to calm down because I will just go insane thinking over and over how in the world Milan was eliminated!   Guys, nobody expected to be eliminated in this stage.  I was reading even Juventus coach Ranieri was surprised with this elimination.  I better count to ten, breathe, and move on.  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.........

I agree with Zambrotta that as much as it is painful to know we are out, the show must go on guys. I can hear the CONFUTATIS from Mozart.  Who will recite the "mea colpa"!!!!  Sure, we have to look forward and concentrate on the Serie A.  Though, here Milan can only expect for Inter to lose 3 matches and Juventus 1 to catch up.  Problem, guys, is that Milan cannot lose any single match from now on.... can they do it???  

WERDER BREMA-MILAN: ZAMBROTTA IN AZIONE 
Thursday, February 27, 2009, (San Siro, Milan) Here is Gianluca Zambrotta during the UEFA Cup Round of 32 match AC Milan 2 - 2 Werder Bremen

Zambrotta said, "We are all disappointed about not qualifying, we haven't had the chance to talk about it yet, but we tried to go through in every way giving everything until the end.

Now we only have to look forward and not give up because the league isn't finished, there are still many games to go and we are fighting to reach one of our objectives which is to finish within the first three positions. We have to go forward without letting our morale drop.

Conceding comebacks is one of our biggest problems which we haven't managed to solve yet. We conceded a goal like in the first leg, like in the derby, we'll have to review these moves to avoid them in the future and improve.

At this moment we have to stay close to the coach, stay close together to get past this moment of the season which certainly isn't positive."
