Gilardino shakes off controversy to net AC Milan winner
Alberto Gilardino shook off a controversial few days to hit AC Milan's winner against Reggina last night.
Milan won the rescheduled Week 15 tie at the Stadio Granillo thanks to the former Parma striker's first half header.
"Milan need him, he has scored two away goals now and they are worth six points. When he plays, he always turns up and represents a very important element in the squad," said Ancelotti.
"We have never had any problems. There are players who get less space and have to be worked with more carefully, but everyone acts with great professionalism.
"Overall it was a good game played with attention to detail and it went well. Andrea Pirlo was in a less central position to make it easier for Emerson and he provided the assist for the goal.
"Pato played slightly deeper and had several good chances. He played slightly different from usual because Edgar Alvarez marked Kaka. Is Pato tired? He has no right to be aged 18!"
