Gilardino free to leave MilanAC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti has told striker Alberto Gilardino that he is free to leave the club if he feels he cannot fight for place in the team.
Ancelotti said: “If Gilardino feels he needs to go, then there’s no reason why we can’t help him achieve that aim, as long as we find a valid alternative,”
“Up until a few days ago he seemed relaxed and the situation was under control. He speaks of faith and fair play, but we have always put our trust in him. I always considered him an important player, even if at Milan competition for places is mandatory.”
He added: “Competition must act as further motivation to do better and certainly not feel like a weight. Gilardino is young, can still improve and has already scored a lot of goals. Like everyone, he has had his ups and downs.”
“The only player at Milan who is sure of always being first choice is Kaka,” continued Ancelotti.
“Everyone should take Inzaghi as an example, a player who takes his profession very seriously. He is always ready and works hard no matter what, so he earned his place in the most important match.”
