Each World Cup is different from the next, like every adventure has different facets compared to the previous one. As a group, as a team, we are ready. Milan? We didn't have a great season, but we finished in the top three, obtaining the objective one game before the end. We did it with a new coach, we entered the Champions League directly, so in the end it can be considered a good season."

ZAMBROTTA: "I've always given 110%"
MILAN - Zambrotta continued: 'I've read about Allegri in the newspapers, he's a young coach, who can give something positive and if he came to Milan he could give a lot to the club's project. This year I haven't played much, both due to two injuries, one after the other, and technical reasons. I've always respected the coach's choices, like Gattuso, and I never gave up, always giving 110% during training without creating problems to the coach or my team mates. This is my mentality. Now I'm ready to give my all for the World Cup."

I hope to work well during this tour. I was welcomed well on my arrival, the lads are fantastic and also the staff remembered me. Even though in the past I worked with the Rossoneri's Primavera, I have also trained with the first team sometimes, they treated me well and I'm happy.
This year at Livorno I had a good experience, I played in Serie A and had the chance to show my valor. Now I hope to be useful at Milan."
