INZAGHI, RETURNS WITH A PROMISE

Superpippo, rescuer of Milan. Now Ancelotti can only place his trust in Inzaghi to hope a radical change of direction. The forward, meanwhile, is going on with great force towards his full recovery. In record time, if we think he could already play against Roda next 28th February. Inzaghi wants to give a very concrete help to his Milan: "It’s not the moment to talk too much, but I want assure to our supporters that Milan can reach the 4th place and Uefa Cup." Inzaghi has a score to settle in Europe. And he wants to pay it soon. "I would like to win Uefa Cup also because the final will be played in Rotterdam. Just where I lost Euro 2000 with the national team. I demand a little compensation." Inzaghi, who injured last 2 December against Chievo, has already organized his future: "Against Roda and Inter I could start from the bench. Then I could be ready to play since the beginning." Milan is in the heart and thought of Inzaghi. In this so difficult moment, Superpippo is surely (with Gattuso) the most loved red&black hero by supporters. To do well, if possible very well, with Ancelotti’s team: this is the first aim of Inzaghi who, naturally, is thinking also about the national team: "Trapattoni has called me several times – Inzaghi reveals – and he has told me to be calm. He will bring me with him, there’s no doubt." It’s right to remind that Milan with Inzaghi achieved the best partial result of its season just in the Sunday of Pippo’s serious injury.

With the difficult victory against Chievo, in fact, Milan had achieved the 4th place with 3 points less than Inter. Inzaghi, till that moment, had scored 6 goals in championship, 3 in Uefa Cup and 2 in Italy Cup. It must not even underrated the fact that, besides Milan, also Shevchenko has suffered from the absence of Inzaghi, his ideal partner for Milan attack.
