<span class="sommario">Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to the FIFA Club World Cup that begins in a fortnight.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Club World Cup, formerly known as the FIFA Club World Championship, is contested between the champion clubs from all of the continental confederations. <o></o></span></p>

<st1:city w:st="on"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Milan</span></st1:city><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> qualified courtesy of their 2-1 European Champions League final victory over <st1lace w:st="on">Liverpool</st1lace> last May, and go into the tournament as the hot favourites. <o></o></span></p>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Rossoneri are likely to face Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-final, where victory will set-up a probable final against Copa Libertadores winners Boca Juniors.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;For us the fact that we aren&rsquo;t going straight into the Final is a novelty and it could benefit us,&rdquo; Carletto claimed.

&ldquo;We will have more time to prepare and get used to the change in time zone. But we will have to be very careful against the Japanese as the atmosphere will be in their favour and we will be taking on a very &lsquo;western&rsquo; side as they have lots of Brazilians and a German Coach.&rdquo;<o></o></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Ancelotti also commented on tomorrow&rsquo;s big Serie A match against a rampant Juventus.<o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><o></o></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m convinced that our problems have been resolved so there is no fear in going back to the San Siro,&rdquo; he insisted.

&ldquo;But Juventus are always great opponents, even if I didn&rsquo;t think that they would get to this level so quickly.

&ldquo;To beat them we will need to deliver something special, but I hope that we will put in a performance like we did at home to Manchester United. I think we can do it.&rdquo;</span></p>
