Ancelotti loses cool
|
AC Milan have lost their 100 per cent record this season after being held to a 0-0 draw with Livorno yesterday.
Carlo Ancelotti's side picked up three wins in their first three games to quickly wipe out the eight-point deficit incurred following the match-fixing scandal, but could not keep up that pace in Leghorn.
And there was more bad news for the Rossoneri just four minutes into Saturday's encounter, when inspirational skipper Paolo Maldini had to leave the field with an apparent knee problem.
Ancelotti was furious with the media afterwards for focusing on him when he is arguing with players from the touchline.
"My outbursts are being turned into soap operas now. What happened is between Clarence Seedorf and myself, it concerns nobody else. What irritates me is this camera always under your nose recording what you say to the players," slammed the Coach.
He exchanged words with Seedorf during today's 0-0 draw at Livorno, while last week he was questioned about why he was shouting at Kaka.
"I want to talk about the match. Milan played well in the first half, less so in the second. We lost our unity and struggled a lot more. We tried to win, which meant running a few more risks, such as when Stefano Morrone hit the bar."
This goalless draw ends the Rossoneri's 100 per cent record, although they still climb up to two points, having started from -8 this season.
"Considering our position in the table, it's certainly not a favourable result. Now we must find the right attitude and spirit, the one we showed in the first half," continued Ancelotti.
His attention now turns to the Champions League, where Milan take on Lille in France on Tuesday evening.
"Lille play very well on home turf and are certainly a dangerous opponent, especially when they turn up the tempo."
