Ambrosini recalls last AC Milan Scudetto triumph

Former AC Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini is proud of his time with the Rossonero during a classic period.

Ambrosini was part of the 2010/11 title winning team.

“It feels like more than nine years have passed, but it was a well-deserved and enjoyable Scudetto run," said Ambro.

“The coach had to deal with so many talents and big characters in the dressing room, it was really not easy to keep them all working together. We had Ronaldinho, Antonio Cassano, Kevin-Prince Boateng…

“There were also players who wanted to prove themselves all over again, such as Ibra, Pato, Clarence Seedorf and Andrea Pirlo. Allegri did it his own way, not with a single idea, but adapting to what was needed at that moment.

“We all wanted to play, so each training session was a fight to the death. Those who remained on the bench were furious, the level was so high. It was a form of respect, really, as we wanted to play all the time."
