WE WILL GET OVER THIS SOON

The fans are great and so is the relationship between them and the club, according to Carlo Ancelotti this could be a key to getting over this period more quickly.
Here are Carlo Ancelotti’s excuses from the press conference after Milan-Torino:
The result was negative, but the team’s application in trying a new method of play that they had never tried before was positive. To hold onto the game like that for the whole time is difficult because there is nothing natural about doing it. At the moment we have way too many important players out and we had to work hard to impose a high pace in the game. Kaladze had a muscle problem. He tried to warm-up, but it continued to be a problem. Gourcuff played six games in a row after being out for forty days, he should be getting back in shape but there just weren’t any other alternatives for this game.
Gilardino won’t be happy about having missed the penalty-kick, but in my opinion his taking responsibility is a positive thing. In the second half, we lost our brilliance. The fans are great. There is a great rapport between the club and the fans and that could help us to get over this difficult period more quickly. The lack of a goal depends also on the play. We are a bit slow and today they were without the normal mechanisms because we put in a new system of play. We must hang on until Christmas. Pirlo will be back on Saturday. Torino are a well-organised team and they do well in defence. They worked as a team and tried to take advantage with Rosina on the counter-attack.
It is a difficult moment. It is getting difficult to even score a penalty-kick, there is a lot of pressure. Today's team was experimental. The three strikers were the only solution because there were no other alternatives. The only complete unit was the attack. Gattuso demonstrated great attacking play for a half an hour today.
As far as desire goes, there is no reason to blame anyone for anything. Everyone really wants to win. We must move up the table soon. Now, we finally have a week to be able to work and recover some of the injured players, like Pirlo and Kakà. In addition Gattuso is back and Cafu too.
i wonder who comes up with the lamest excuses ancelotti or mancini!!!
