MILANO-Massimo Moratti goes into details and explains the reasons for Lippi's dismissal. The bad results and relationship with players. "It seems obvious that defeat against Reggina was not the only cause for the decision. Problems became serious after our elimination from the Champions Lleague. But what really worried me apart from the bad results was the players attitude on the field and how little self confidence they had. Perhaps it would have helped to have two players back on the field on Sunday, but we didn't field a second choice line up against Reggina or against any other team. Training and preparation for the matches was excellent but once the team had played something happened and the squad couldn't really show their potential. So we just had to face up to it".
The Chairman has a few words to say about Lippi's reaction:" Lippi just acted in character and I understand that. I'd rather talk about technical problems, but of course those statements caused even greater tension between the Coach and the squad".
