Carlo Ancelotti is delighted that Kaka has committed to Milan and has given his view on the refereeing situation in Serie A.
The Rossoneri face a tough battle for fourth place and Champions League qualification, but it seems that Kaka isn’t fazed by the possibility of the UEFA Cup.
The Brazilian ace put pen to paper on a contract extension yesterday, which will tie him to Milan until 2013.
“It’s a great thing for him and for the club,” Ancelotti declared. “Kaka is becoming more and more a symbol of this team.”
There have been suggestions that the sudden renewal could have been due to the advances of Chelsea.
“I don’t think that external factors sped up his decision to sign an extension,” Ancelotti said. “It was the player’s desire and the club’s desire.
“Kaka has a great image on the pitch as he has such talent and temperament. He is training hard and hoping to be there for Tuesday against Arsenal and I think that he will make it.”
With so much recent debate over the refereeing in Italy, the Rossoneri boss made it clear that he has faith in the men in charge.
“The championship is fair, even if some refereeing decisions have been shown to be incorrect,” he stressed.
“We also need to look at the positives. Nicola Rizzoli was perfect in the Torino-Juventus game. He isn’t considered the best ref and he isn’t often used for the big games, but he was excellent.
“Designating referees is a complicated job. In Catania, the officials did a good job with the big incidents, but there were too many whistles. In Italy the game is stopped too often and that is the big difference with the rest of Europe.”
