MikeTuckerman speaks to Zeljko Kalac for OleOle
AC Milan trained in Yokohama ahead of their upcoming clash with Urawa Reds, and after the session Milan goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac took time out to speak exclusively to OleOle.
MT: Welcome to Japan, Spider. What's the mood in the camp?
Zeljko Kalac: We're feeling confident. We're well prepared and we've obviously come here to win the tournament.
MT: Did you get a chance to see Urawa's game yesterday?
Zeljko Kalac: Yeah, we watched it last night.
MT: What's the feeling?
Zeljko Kalac: They're a good side, obviously. They've had a long season, and they'll be looking forward to this match. I think the whole of Japan will be looking forward to this match, so it will definitely be difficult.
MT: You've played a couple of Champions League games this year, how do you think this will compare?
Zeljko Kalac: Our goal is definitely to win this tournament - it's very high on the list of priorities, to follow up on the Super Cup win and win this, and then continue on in the Champions League and qualify for the Champions League next year by finishing in the first four. But this is definitely a goal for us.
MT: A win here will take you above Boca in terms of trophies won. Is that a motivation for the team?
Zeljko Kalac: Oh, I didn't know about that! I think the last time they played Boca, Boca won 1-0. So we might get a chance to hopefully repay them.
MT: For all the Aussies out there, any chance of making it to the A-League in future?
Zeljko Kalac: No, I don't think so. I've still got another year and a half left after this. That will take me through to 36 and then we'll see if I have maybe one more year after that, and I think that'll do me.
