Leonardo hopes Bari win eases tension inside AC Milan

AC Milan boss Leonardo hopes victory over Bari takes the sting out of tension inside the club.

After the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, President Silvio Berlusconi criticised his Coach, prompting Leonardo to say he would step aside if he wasn't wanted.

Leonardo said: “I don't need to say anything to the President. I just focus on the team and always have done. This is a marvellous experience for me personally, all the rest counts for little in my eyes.

“I took this job with great passion and want to take Milan higher because they deserve it. They have won everything there is to win, but each day manage to surprise me with something new.

“The team believes strongly in its ideas and is building solid foundations with that certainty. That is how they emerge from difficult moments and it's wonderful to see.”
