THE BEST CONDITION
8/13/2007 6:27:00 PM
Ancelotti spoke during the press conference: the Trofeo Tim will be useful to improve the condition. Inzaghi will be available, Ronaldo will be back after the Trofeo Berlusconi. Sevilla is a very dangerous team.

Transfer Market. “Emerson or Motta? They are both excellent midfielders, but for me the market is closed.”

Trofe Tim. “These are two matches, just like the Trofeo Berlusconi, which will help us to achieve the best condition. We are decreasing the workloads , we are starting to make more brilliant work, the squad is now aiming to improve and in this sense the matches against Inter and Juve will be useful. There’s the desire to play well, to do well. The result right now is the last of my thoughts. We shall play everyone. Inzaghi is recovered and he will be back. Ronaldo will have to wait after the Trofeo Berlusconi.”

In the pre-season friendlies, the Italian teams did not always do well abroad. “The foreign teams are doing a lighter preparation, they try to reach the best condition straight, they don’t give too much importance to the initial basis which is a strong point in the preparation of the Italian teams: the initial workloads are important, but obviously they tire the legs, therefore you go abroad and the teams run faster than you. The Italian preparation is meant for a medium-long term: the condition is reached later on and gives its results later.”

European Supercup. “The squad which will play the Supercup is more or less ready; it does not need to be tested. It’s a team we all know, it does not need any kind of automatism, and it’s only a matter of condition. Now we have these two games, then a week to prepare for the league and the Supercup.”

Sevilla. “It’s a strong team. Very aggressive, very quick. Very fearful. Compared to Liverpool, they have the same aggressiveness, the same order but more velocity and ability upfront. It’s a very dangerous team. A very complicated period awaits them, with the matches of the Spanish Supercup against Real, the preliminary round and the league, but we shall arrive on the 31st of August in a very good condition.”

Ronaldinho. 'Let’s wait. We’re here with arms wide open...”

Suazo. “No one has any criticism to make about him. He made a professional choice.”

Inzaghi. “He’s not at 100%, but he must start playing a bit at a time, to improve his condition.”

Giuly. “I agree, he was a very good purchase by Roma. For the characteristics of the team he will be very important”.

Before leaving, Ancelotti announced the two formations which will play tomorrow night. In midfield Brocchi, Gattuso and Ambrosini will play in one game; Pirlo, Gattuso and Gourcuff in the other. Kaka and Seedorf will play both games. In attack, Inzaghi and Gilardino will alternate. In defence, Oddo, Bonera, Kaladze and Favalli first, then Cafu, Simic, Nesta and Serginho in the second game.

Most random question about Guily, I wonder why they asked him that.
