“Milan have stayed on their feet above all thanks to the will of the group,” said Ancelotti.
“In the summer, there has been a strong renewal with many new faces. The initial difficulties we had demonstrated just how difficult it was to assemble the team.
“But in those difficult moments the group could either ruin itself or compact itself. Our group is united and it has been together for a long time. You have seen it.”
He added: “At the beginning we neither succeeded to attack nor defend well. The team was imbalanced. But the turning point came above all from the quality players I have at my disposition.
“A statement of Kaka has been fundamental. In that moment, he said that talent was not sufficient to win the game. He is the symbol of our turning point.”
