I can't agree with you. In fact, although Milan get CL in 2002/2003, that is because Ancelotti is lucky. Because Milan always has a "hero" to save Ancelotti in that season. For example, in the game Milan 3:2 Ajax, when the game at 89 min, the score is 2:2, because the first half Milan 0:0 Ajax at Ajax's home, so if the score end 2:2, Milan will "lose" ( because the away goal is less than Ajax). At that time, Inzaghi become the hero, he score at 90+ ( but maybe this goal is finished by Tomassen ). Whlie in the semi-final, Milan 0:0 Inter at home, and 1:1 at Inter's home ( in fact, Milan and Inter share the same field at that time ). And when Milan 1:1 Inter, Shevchenko scored the ball, and then Abbiati become the hero, he saved 3 times in the last 5 min. In the final, Dida become the hero. In fact, Buffon saved 2 goals in the PK, this is a good job, but Dida is more excellent, he save 3 times !!!! Great !!!
So at that time, why Milan is very good is because Milan had a lot of good players and they have good conditions. By the way, Juventus in 2003/2004 is very sucks so only Roma can have the little chance to win the champion, but Milan win Roma 2 times in that season, and Roma is different from Juvetus ( Juventus almost win all the weak teams, but Roma sometimes lose the weak teams ). At that season, Cafu and Pancaro have good condition, and Dida , Maldini+Nesta also much better than today, so Milan's defense is very good. I mean today, Milan have a lot of problems, the players didn't have enough good condition so Milan lost a lot of game in this season.
How to judge a coach is good or bad ???? When the players are very good, they can win all the games, you cannot say the coach is good. But when the players don't have good condition, Milan still can win the game, then you can say the coach is good.
I have an example, i think Greece coach is very good in 2004 European Cup. I am sure Greek is weak, and in the game they always defense, their games not wonderful, but as you know, Greek is weaker than France, Czech, Protugol..... And Greek doesn't have enough good players, i mean the excellent attack players. So the coach have to asked the players to defense, and then, when the competition makes mistake, they can score and then continue defense until the game 1:0 end. I pay more respect to this coach, i don't think the Greece game is not wonderful is because this coach doesn't have enough ability. In fact, this coach had been lead a team in Germany in 1998-1999, this team just come from Serie B to Serie A, and then they get the champion. In that season, this team played a lot of wonderful games !!!! So if you can image, if the Greek has a lot of players like Shevchenko, Kaka, Pirlo, don't you think they can play wonderful game under this coach ????
But Milan has a lot of players, and Milan's lab is also can help the players to return the good condition as soon as possible. But why the players always make mistake, because they are so tired !!! Why they are so tired , because they don't have rotation !!!! Why they don't have rotation, becaue the coach doesn't arrange the rotation !!!!
I admit Ancelotti change Pirlo from a AM to DM is success, Ancelotti use the 4 attack middles ( -----Rivaldo----Rui Costa---Pirlo---Seedorf------ ), he had been used this formation and very successful, i admit Ancelotti has a lot of wonderful games when Milan under him. But i think. We should say "Bye-Bye" to Ancelotti, he should leave Milan. We had given Ancelotti chance in this season, but i am afraid Milan will get nothing in this season......
I think Ancelotti should leave !
