Ancelotti voices support for under-fire Cuper
MILAN, Italy, May 13 (AFP) - AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said he hoped his opposite number Hector Cuper would not lose his job following Inter Milan´s Champions League semi-final defeat at the hands of their city rivals on Tuesday.
Milan, the away team in the second leg tie, went through to their ninth final on the away goals rule after the second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. The first leg, also at their shared San Siro, was goalless.
"I´m happy to be in the final, but I´m also angry. The eve of the match was a cruel play between me and Cuper," he said, referring to press speculation that the loser would get the sack.
"It should have been a party for Milan, but turned into something else. This makes me unhappy because I love football.
"Now Cuper is in a dangerous situation and that saddens me becauuse he has done a fantastic job by taking Inter into the last four.
"They could have gone to the final and it would have been me in trouble."
For his part Cuper, who guided Valencia to two Champions League finals and previously Real Mallorca to the last Cup Winners Cup final, said he could take the pressure placed on him by all the rumours swirling around.
"As far as my future is concerned I think coaches should be able to handle the pressure, and that press speculation is part of that," the Argentine said.
"All I can say is that I will carry on doing my maximum for Inter Milan," he added.
Andriy Shevchenko netted the all-important away goal in first-half stoppage-time, taking advantage of some weak Inter defending to score from close range with his right foot.
Second-half substitute Obafemi Martins gave Inter hope when he cashed in on Alessandro Costacurta´s error to slide home with seven minutes to go.
But a late Inter onslaught failed to produce a winner with Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati´s stunning save denying Mohammed Kallon in the closing stages.
Milan will now meet either Italian rivals Juventus or holders Real Madrid in the final at Manchester United´s stadium on May 28.
