Kaka The Key - Ancelotti
Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti believes that the return to form of Kaka was a key factor in today's thumping 5-1 win over Reggina.
The Rossoneri were hugely impressive at San Siro, with Kaka christening a brilliant individual performance by helping himself to a hat-trick.
Kaka has been struggling with injury for much of the season, but he now appears to be back at full fitness.
“We had a good start with impressive play and determination, quickly breaking the deadlock so we could hit them on the counter,” explained Ancelotti.
“Kaka’s absence really weighed on us in decisive games that proved crucial to falling behind in the Champions League race. It’s only natural and now he is finding his best form.
Ancelotti also had words of praise for Clarence Seedorf, who again played in a slightly deeper position.
"Seedorf sacrificed himself for the team today with characteristics that are not his own," said Carletto.
"Great champions are always able to put the squad first and it is inevitable in any League in Europe now.”
Milan are still four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina but Ancelotti is remaining hopeful of earning Champions League qualification.
“The gap is still there, but we must continue along this path right to the end. Our objective is to prepare one game at a time and try to win them all.”
