The Club World Cup, formerly known as the FIFA Club World Championship, is contested between the champion clubs from all of the continental confederations.
Milan qualified courtesy of their 2-1 European Champions League final victory over Liverpool last May, and go into the tournament in Yokohama as the hot favourites.
“We have high hopes for this Club World Cup and we still remember the defeat to Boca Juniors in 2003,” the Diavolo boss admitted.
“We really want to take the Cup and do whatever we can to get our revenge.
“Ronaldo will use these games before the tournament to get into shape so he can give his all in Japan.
“This team needs to get into a winning cycle and every victory is vital at the moment.”
Milan seem set to face Japanese-outfit Urawa Reds in the semi-finals of the competition but Ancelotti ensures that it won’t be an easy game.
“We want to be in the best condition possible, but it won’t be easy because the Japanese side will already be used to the time zone and the atmosphere,” Carletto concluded.
