AC Milan coach Leonardo has
again publicly criticised Ronaldinho after their 0-0 draw at Livorno.
“If Ronaldinho is in good
shape, really wants to play and behaves in a certain manner, then
he can be important for the team,” said Leonardo.
There was a marked difference in the team when
Ronaldinho was substituted in
the second half to make way for Andrea Pirlo and even his staunch
supporters noticed.
“I saw a game of two halves. We were much better in the second
half after Pirlo and [Pippo] Inzaghi came on,” added Rossoneri
vice-president Adriano Galliani.
“Towards the end I saw a good Milan with scoring opportunities
that could have won. In the first half there was no service and no
real forward play.
“Now we have to focus on Marseille, our real rivals in the
Champions League considering Real
Madrid will certainly qualify with one of the two top
spots in the group.
“We need to be on the game right from the start and win starting
from Tuesday.”
