MILANELLO - Here are the declarations made by Daniele Bonera to Milan Channel's microphones before today's training:
Daniele, you've returned to Milanello after having played with the National team, what are your feelings?
"I consider all competitions to be important. On a personal level, I'm happy I managed to give my contribution and that we've reached Euro 2008 with the National team. Now that I've returned to Milanello I have to get to work immediately because we have little time to prepare Sunday's game against Cagliari, which won't be an easy one.
You'll meet a Cagliari side who have just changed coach.
"Yes, but Sonetti knows the Cagliari environment very well, the mechanisms are already known. I think he's a very good coach who will be able to field a very competitive team. We'll have to give our best to win, because we need to get points to improve our league position, and we know that to win we have to play well and approach the game with the right mentality."
Now you have two away games.
"Yes, Sunday we go to Cagliari, and a few days later to Lisbon, two away games in quick succession. Then we have two tough home games, first against Juve, then against Celtic, before the Club World Cup. But we have to take it step by step and prepare Sunday's game at Cagliari as best we can."
What are your feelings ahead of the trip to Tokyo?
"They're certainly positive feelings, this team never disappointed expectations in important competitions like the Club World Cup, but also in Tokyo we will certainly find strong teams."
Do you think you will have a prominent role at Euro 2008?
"Personally I hope so, but I think it all depends on the league and only if I play consistently with the Milan shirt will I have more guarantees with the National team."
