Carlo Ancelotti described the victory of Milan over Liverpool in the Champions League final as the greatest in his long career. The success of Rossoneri was brought by the striker Filippo Indzagi, who scored twice and helped the team get the seventh champion Cup in its history.
Anchalotti twice won the European Champions Cup with Milan as a player and won the role of a coach in 2003, however, by his own admission, nothing can be compared with the feelings that he experienced at the Spiros Louis stadium today. “This is the greatest victory of those that we won. Few believed that we would do this, but we managed to achieve something really unusual. Few people from the outside and fans expected that Milan would win such an important victory this season. I think that no one expected this at all,” UEFA.com quotes.
In the Italian championship, the “Milan” was forced to start this campaign with the third qualifying round of the Cheipon League in the Italian championship. Then, due to a weak start in the Italian championship, an armchair was staggered near Anchalotti. However, today the 47-year-old coach had an evening of fame: smiling at the outbreaks of cameras, he assured that there was no and there could be no disagreement between him and the club. “Since December, we had to overcome so many obstacles that this victory has become really special for us,” said Anchalotti.
“We have retained harmony, despite all the problems. My actions, if I may say so, have risen now, but my relationship with Milan is very strong. Not even to mention the trophies that we won, I emphasize that this is a special connection for me. Everything that I achieved became possible because I feel like a part of Milan. I wore this T -shirt as a player, and it makes my feelings in relation to the club. - added the coach.
Liverpool mentor Rafael Benitest, as expected, did not hide his disappointment with the result. His pupils failed to repeat the achievement of 2005, when the Mersisidens celebrated the victory in the penalty shootout. However, the Spaniard tried to maintain the presence of the spirit. “First of all, I would like to congratulate“ Milan ”, which I consider to be a very good team. I want to say thank you to our fans, my coaching staff and players who worked very selflessly and deserved more. We controlled the game in the first half, attacked and created moments. However, at the end of the first half we missed an unexpected goal after a ricochet. We need to use our moments and won, when you won, you won, you won, you won, when you won, you won, when You celebrate the victory, and in the event of a defeat, you need to think about what is its reason and switch to the future.
Trying to save the game, Benits was forced to take risks, and Milan eventually used the free space that appeared in the center of the Liverpool field after the replacement of Havier Maskerano with Peter Krauch. The indurations scored the second goal eight minutes before the end of the match, and this time, despite the goal of Dirka Kuite, the British could not be saved the game. "The problem of the game against Milan is that this team is well organized and plays well on counterattacks. In the second half we attacked and left the free space between the lines that were successfully used by Kaka. We must attack in balanced, and when this balance is lost, one attack can kill you," Benitest said.
