AC Milan coach Leonardo was quick to answer questions of unrest between himself and Ronaldinho as he looks ahead to the Parma clash on Saturday.

'Dinho appeared to lament his substitution against Napoli and was not impressed as he sat on the bench at the San Paolo. Reports claimed he was annoyed with Leonardo, but the coach has clarified the situation.

"There is no problem with Ronaldinho. I have a special relationship with him. Everyone has been expecting Ronaldinho to perform. He is here now, and he has to do it," Leonardo told the press.

"I want him to give his maximum because he can always guarantee an important contribution."

Milan have been enjoying a good moment, but the coach wants to see more output from the team.

"We have to use our energy well in order to improve. We have had a positive period with the games against Napoli, Chievo Verona and Real Madrid and we hope it continues," concluded the Brazilian.
