The Italian prominent manager Carlo Ancelotti gave an exclusive
interview to Sport Express reporter in Italy.
"Everything could happen at such short-distance tournaments as the
European championship", said Ancelotti.
"In this case the readiness of the teams is of greatest importance
while it's prestige and value are overlooked."
"Good luck also plays its role and it seemes to be on the side of
Russian champs head coach Guus Hiddink."
"After a Russia's surprising victory over England and their unexpected
loss to Croatia at Wenbley, we can talk about Hiddink's rare luck."
"Greece, Spain and Sweden are dangerous teams, however Russian side
shouldn't underestimate their strength."
"As for the Italian national team, we all want it to achieve good
results at the European competition and we stand good reserve to put this
task into reality."
"We have a professional manager and experienced players who know
the taste of victories in prestigious tournaments."
"AC Milan failed to continue the Champions League journey as we lost
to Arsenal."
"It's a great pity we won't perform in Moscow in the final match,
but to be honest Arsenal deserved the victory which let them advance further."
"The rumors of resignation are part of every coach's life and I am
not an exception, so I just need to ignore these talks and do my job."
"We won the European Super Cup this season and I wouldn't say the
season was a failure."
"Our today's task is winning the fourth place in the Serie A that
will give us an opportunity to play in the Champions League next year."
