Leo: 'We're not the worst team'
Sunday 30 August, 2009
Leonardo insists the derby humiliation is not the end of Milan’s dreams. “We’re not the worst team in the world.”
Last night’s game was meant to boost confidence for a Scudetto push, but instead the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of local rivals Inter raised many more questions.
“It’s true that a win here would’ve improved our self-belief, but this defeat does not stunt our growth as a team,” commented the Coach.
“We cannot make calculations now, nor define exactly what Milan are. In two games we have done both positive and negative things.
“This is a heavy blow, but we are not the worst team in the world.”
Leonardo complained repeatedly that he needed reinforcements for the full-back positions after Inter tore Gianluca Zambrotta and Marek Jankulovski to shreds, but he and the fans will be left disappointed.
“We had a very long talk with the directors and I don’t think we’ll be buying anyone. Now is the time to react. We must prove quickly who we are and what Milan represents. I expect the best.”
President Silvio Berlusconi had hailed the Rossoneri as Scudetto contenders and was in no mood for comment after the game.
“What can I possibly say after conceding four goals?”
