AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti admits new signing David Beckham was impressed by Sunday's thumping of Udinese.
"Beckham was very excited after the game," smiled Ancelotti, "and we're happy to have him here. With Rino Gattuso missing, he will be important for us."
The Milan coach continued: "The victory has helped us to get out of this delicate moment, which is linked to too many injuries. We should try to recover as many players as possible and put petrol in the tank for the continuation of the season.
"The year of 2008 has been complicated because of too many absences, and the only thing I ask is to have in the new year again a full squad."
