Milan sharp in training

Today AC Milan trained at 'Marinos Town' - the training centre of J-League side Yokohama F. Marinos.
The Rossoneri looked sharp, with Ronaldo taking part in the session as he attempts to recover from a calf injury that could keep him out of Milan's showdown with Urawa Reds at the Yokohama International Stadium on December 13.
In the pre-training press conference, Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo singled out striker Washington, defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka and young wingback Takahito Soma as the players Milan must pay most attention to when the Rossoneri take on the Reds.
Croatian defender Dario Simic also trained this afternoon but it was Dutch international Clarence Seedorf who impressed, demonstrating his array of skills in front of the assembled
world media.
Newly crowned European Footballer Of The Year Kaká was mobbed at every turn, with plenty of pressure on Milan to bring home the Club World Cup and become the first European side to do so since the competition was launched in its current format in 2000.
