RUI COSTA: 'We have plenty of players for the Andrea role'
10 August 2004 15:11
MILANELLO - Manuel Rui Costa discussed the pre-season preparation at the Tues
-day press conference. The midfielder said: 'Myself and my team-mates who arriv
-ed back later than the others are a bit behind fitness-wise compared to the ot
-hers, however, that's normal and everything is going ahead as scheduled. He ar
-e recovering well.'
Then on the possibility of replacing Andrea Pirlo who is on Olympic duty with
Inter: 'Coach Carlo Ancelotti will be lookng for solutions in the absence of
Pirlo but also [Clarence] Seedorf who were regulars last season. If you look at
Pirlo there are plenty of players at Milan who can fill that role. I have also
played there and must say I wasn't disapponted to play balls forward but [Massi
-mo] Ambrosini, [Christian] Brocchi and [Vikash] Dhorasoo can also play in that
role. As for the rest, Milan have competition in all roles, at present we tryin
-g things out. Whomever plays in the Pirlo must give the same balance as Pirlo
does but without imitating him. I have played there for Benfica but I would be
the frst to say if I was not giving a good contribution to the side. However,
it appeals to me to play there even I would have to attack less and give more
defensive balance.'
Rui在週二的記者會上首先提到新賽季的準備
他與一些因歐錦賽關係而較晚回到內洛的球員們雖然狀況還不如其他球員
但一切都跟著既定的行程正慢慢回復
接著談到米蘭裡有許多球員都能踢小洛的位置
如西多夫 布羅基 Ambro 多拉蘇
但必須作到像小洛以往在這個位置上所作的攻守平衡
而Rui自己也說他不介意踢這個位置 因為過去他在本非卡的時候也曾經踢過
他自己願意試試看 即使必須更多地投入於防守而非進攻上
RUI COSTA: 'Nothing better than Milan'
10 August 2004 15:23
MILANELLO - Rui then responded to questions on reports that the Portuguese st
-ar was going to leave Milan at the end of last season: 'At the end of last sea
-son it was a consideration. I thought that Milan today are the team that win
the most, I have everything here, I am considered and I battle to win. Also the
-re are no better solutions that come to mind than Milan. I did have offers but
what really pleased me was the fact that the club turned them down. The contact
was therefore never that serious as Milan also responded in the same way.'
最後Rui提到在上賽季末有關自己將離開米蘭的傳聞
"上賽季末確實有一段時間在思考自己的未來,但最終我還是決定留下,因為在這裡我擁有
一切,沒有別的選擇是比留在這裡還要更好更正確的.上賽季末我確實收到一些邀請,但讓我
感動且高興的是俱樂部回絕所有的邀請,所以最後我依然決定留在這裡."

Rui Costa reveals doubts Wednesday 11 August, 2004
Manuel Rui Costa admits he considered leaving Milan this summer, but now
enters a new role within the Rossoneri squad.
“I thought about my future for a long time,” admitted the Portuguese
international. “I was no longer a first team regular, but still felt that I
had given my contribution to the squad.”
Bought for a club record ￡27m in 2001, the former Benfica and Fiorentina
legend has been recently pushed out of the line-up by young prodigy Kaka.
“I considered the situation and realised that there was no better place to be
. Milan are a winning side, I am respected here and can fight for important
trophies.”
It’s reported several clubs requested him after a fine Euro 2004 performance
, in particular Fiorentina and Manchester United.
“There were some offers,” he concedes, “but the thing that made me most
happy was Milan rejecting them all outright, not even sitting down to discuss
figures. This is why I never spoke to any representatives from other clubs and
even Fiorentina never contacted me directly.”
Now a new era to his time at the San Siro is opening up, as Rui Costa could
be fielded in the deep midfield role left vacant by Andrea Pirlo’s trip to the
Olympics.
“I am not putting myself forward for any particular positions, as that is for
the Coach to decide,” he added. “I want to help out the team in any way that
I can, even from the bench, but if I’m in a position to visualise the players
in front of me, then I would certainly not be unhappy with that.”
