INZAGHI THINKS ONLY ABOUT CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

"AFTER A YEAR LIKE THIS ONE, IT IS A SUCCESS"

 

MILANELLO – Absolute concentration on the qualification in Champions League: in a moment like this one Filippo Inzaghi thinks above all to win the last match of championship and to avoid the play-off with Bologna, so he has little wish to talk about Milan future. The forward defines Tomasson as "a good player", but he doesn’t want to continue the subject of market begun by Paolo Maldini in the last days: "He is the captain, I don’t think I can give advices to my club. Anyway, this team with all the players isn’t inferior to anybody."

Inzaghi hopes to reach the 4th place tomorrow, without lengthening a season that is already very demanding because of World Cup: Inzaghi, come back in the national team since short time, hopes to be protagonist in Japan and Korea, but he thinks first of all about the so desired Champions League. "And I hope the championship ends without play-off even if, seen how it was the situation some months ago, we would be happy to do it. It’s true the victory of Brescia would help us, but we must think about ourselves and the match against Lecce. It’s a pity the championship ends just now because we are well and in this last period we have played good matches."

In his first year in Milan, Inzaghi says to be satisfied of everything, except obviously the injury that kept him out of team for long time: the forward remained 3 months and an half far from fields because of the operation at the ligament of his left knee, and he hasn’t been the only victim of a very unlucky season. "The biggest regret is the fact we couldn’t see the Milan that was built last summer. There hasn’t been a match where someone hasn’t injured and, seen the many injuries we have had, it’s a good result to arrive 4th."
