Zambro relishes return to form
Tuesday 11 November, 2008
Milan defender Gianluca Zambrotta is delighted at becoming the first name on Carlo Ancelotti's teamsheet in recent weeks.
The World Cup winner joined the Rossoneri from Barcelona in the summer and has settled back into life in Italy after a shaky start.
Zambrotta has played more minutes than any other Diavolo player this season and is relishing his role.
“It's a great thing for me and a real pleasure,” he enthused on the Milan Channel.
“I have only just arrived here and so it's proof that the Coach believes in me.
“Moreover, I want to stress that all my teammates have helped me settle in so quickly.
“I have shrugged off my pre-season problems and I feel that I am playing better and better.”
Milan lost the leadership of Serie A last weekend when they conceded a last-minute equaliser to Lecce at Via Del Mare.
“Drawing a match like that seemed to be a defeat,” Zambrotta admitted.
“But we played well and therefore can't have any regrets. We have played worse in away games and we did at Atalanta where we took three points.
“We played some great football in Lecce and created several scoring chances, but it wasn't enough.”
I hope Zambrotta knows how he'll perform when he'll play against us. Zlatan, Cannavaro should be a good example for him.
