AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has warned coach Leonardo that he expects "to be heard". Victory over Juventus in the Trofeo Berlusconi last night has eased the pressure on Leonardo, but Berlusconi said: "The coach takes care of the training, but the president must be heard.

"And if the coach is doing the wrong training, he must change."

The Rossoneri patron also declared he expects Ronaldinho to be played in an attacking role this season.

He said: "We have seen now what he can give in that position. I've complete faith that he can be a leader and the outstanding player that he has always been."

And added: "AC Milan can be a leader in Italy and in Europe, playing a little more intelligently from a tactical point of view."

Meanwhile, La Repubblica says Milan are ready to discuss a swap deal with Lazio for fullback Lorenzo De Silvestri. The Rossoneri are willing to offer players in exchange, including Kakha Kaladze - and ex-Lazio captain Massimo Oddo.
