Ancelotti Forgiving After Betis Defeat

Carlo Ancelotti admitted that his team lacked sharpness against Real Betis last night, but chose not to be too harsh with the players.


Milan were once against guilty of spurning their chances despite having Kaka and Gilardino on the pitch, and were made to pay when Mark Gonzalez converted a 47th minute penalty.

Betis then decided to shut shop and suffocate Milan, and succeeded in their efforts.

However, Carlo Ancelotti was calm: "It was a good test for us. In this period we are working a lot and it's normal that the team is not very sharp up front.

"Too bad about the result. There were a few mistakes made in defence, particularly on the goal, but in this period these mistakes are forgivable."

As long as we win the Supper Coppa Europea I am happy.
