The Rossoneri were taking part in the annual three-way
competition in Turin
with Juventus and Inter when Ancelotti reacted angrily to verbal abuse from
sections of the home crowd by raising his middle finger.
This obscene gesture could put Ancelotti in trouble with the footballing authorities, and he has already moved to apologise for his actions.
“Yes I did raise my little finger and it was my response to the ignorant people,” explained Carletto, who coached Juventus from 1999 to 2001.
“With hindsight I think that I would do the same thing. There’s no need to look for video evidence because I’m not scared to admit what I did.
“It’s the first time that I have reacted like that and perhaps the last but I couldn’t accept those insults.
“Luckily it was a little isolated group who would have been better off at home. They also had abuse for Jose Mourinho, Gianluca Zambrotta, Marco Materazzi and Dejan Stankovic.”
Milan won the Trofeo Tim after defeating both Juventus and Inter on penalties, and Ancelotti was pleased with what he saw from his side.
“I was happy with our performances this evening, even if we gave away goals a little too easily,” he stated.
“Abbiati had a great evening and I am happy for him. It will be a good battle for the No 1 shirt.”
Goalkeeper Abbiati was the hero of the shoot-out win against Inter, saving three spot-kicks, as well as making a wonder-stop from Olivier Dacourt during normal time.
